Well, the cleanliness of my house didn't last long after SD15 walked in the door! DH picked her up from my SIL's yesterday on his way home from work. I was gone when they came home as it was my usual gym night. I had run the dishwasher earlier, because there were no bowls and plates left in the cabinet. I get home...sticky jelly spots and crumbs all over the island in the kitchen! SD15's plate with globs of jelly on it is sitting next to the sink on the counter (note...the sink was empty). DH still had his bowl with him in the TV room...hadn't taken it to the kitchen yet. I made it clear to DH that I was NOT happy! Moment I walked in the door, I started putting the dishes away, and made sure I made plenty of noise about it. He didn't get why I was upset. I pointed out the plate and the counter, and said, "Well, I guess it is just too much to take 5 minutes to put the dishes away! I mean, at the very least (SD15) could have put her plate in the sink rinsed! I'm really getting tired of everything being on the counter...trash, dirty dishes...the sink has nothing in it!" DH started helping me put the dishes away, rinsed his bowl and put it in the dishwasher, and then cleaned up SD15's mess. WTH? The princess was in her room chatting on the phone painting her nails! Make her lazy butt get out there and clean up her own crap! THIS is why she never cleans up after herself! I cleaned house about a week ago...BS19 has been here all week (as he has worked nights), and you can't even tell...he has been good to pick up after himself. SD15 is only home a few hours, and starts to trash the place!

It is probably going to start getting interesting around here. I got a call from one of the other branches of the gym I go to last night...they want me to come in for an interview today for a part-time personal trainer position. Personal trainers don't get paid as much as I get paid for my "day" job (in IT), so I will be doing both jobs for a while. The extra income will be used to continue to pay down my bills, pay off my car, etc. while I'm helping BS19 in college. I also want to set up a savings for emergencies, as my car is getting ready to run out of warranty and such. DH is all freaked out all of a sudden...he knew this was going to happen once I passed my cert exam! He knows I don't want to do IT forever, as it is really starting to wear on me (tired of getting yelled at for stupid crap that isn't my fault, but because someone is yelling at my boss, I'm going to get yelled at because someone has to get yelled at, even though I hold up the entire team...long story, but I work with a bunch of idiots). He's all like, "So, when are you going to be doing training? That means you won't be home!" DH and I really don't do much together...he comes home and plops his butt in front of the TV, and I get to just sit there while he messes with his tablet! Sometimes, the princess will grace us with her presence, and I have to put up with her whiny voice and DH trying desperately to get SD15 to acknowledge his existence. It is sickening!!! DH never wants to actually do anything, and he knows I'm not one to sit around. I do enough sitting in front of a computer with my day job!

I still plan on keeping up my home...since I work from home...that is easy. I'm home all the time...they just usually aren't...LOL. I already do most of my house work during the day...clean up the kitchen in the mornings before I start my work day, cycle laundry in between work trouble tickets...working from home has its advantages. DH will still get fed...crock pot meals and such...so I know he isn't worried about that. So what is the big deal? I'm certain DH is worried that he will be alone with SD15 all the time, and have to deal with her! Sorry, I can't cancel on a client to go wait for her at the school, so I guess he will have to do it himself, or get someone else to. Oh, it's Friday night and the princess wants you to go to the football game to see her 5 seconds? Have fun with that! I have clients! I'm seriously hoping this works out, because it may make the next 3 years that much more tolerable if I spend as little time as possible around the princess! Will be interesting to see how DH handles having to be alone with SD15 and all of her crap!

UGH...and her highness is already up! In front of the TV, on the couch, eating cereal. I happened to be in the kitchen when she wandered out, in her PJ shorts that barely cover her butt and her t-shirt tied to show her stomach. The shirt is a normal fitting t-shirt, but that seems to be her new thing...tie it up in the back and make it a mid-drift! She must have thought my son and his friend were still here, and was going to come out and try to flirt...but they left a few minutes ago.
