I started to write this when I was rather pissed. Got distracted with work and decided to wait and post this later. I re-read what I wrote and said to myself "Yeah, that post is going to get the witch hunters on my ass". So I toned this blog down a little. I'm still a little bitter about it, but I have my Geek night tonight so I don't really care at this point.

Good ol' Granny

So we had my granny over for dinner last night. Afterwards I dropped her home.

Granny: "I feel sorry for SS."

Me: "Why?"

Granny: "How old is he again?"

Me: "13, soon to be 14."

Granny: "Hmmm...Why does he act like a 7-year-old?"

Me: Lol

Granny: "It's not funny Drac0, I am very concerned. Does he have any friends at school?"

Me: "Believe it or not, he has a girlfriend."

Granny: "What does she see in him?"

Are teenagers this clueless?

SS got himself into a whole mess of trouble with us last week. Apart from skipping school on Wednesday, on Thursday morning, when DW went to go wake him up, she discovered his cell phone by his pillow. He had been up all night texting. DW was blaming herself for this one because she normally makes sure all his electronics is out of his room before he turns in. She forgot and SS took this as a “green light” to stay up all night to text on his phone.

Things have been great these holidays. Donkeykong actually allowed SS to stay with us a bit longer these days which meant no crying and lamenting from DW. The only sour point is DW pulling rank on me and letting SS play his precious video games because...

- wait for it -

...it's the holidays.

Let's change the CO just in time for Christmas....

During the Christmas Holidays, SS is to reside with the father. DW is allowed a 12 hour window on either Christmas Eve or on Christmas Day (her choice).

Usually we take Christmas Day. This is how it has been every year FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS.

Unfortunately, every year, SS forgets and he thinks the holidays are evenly split between us and his Dad’s. So, like every year since the CO was first imposed, I keep having to correct SS and remind him. “No SS. You are with your Dad during the Holidays but don’t worry, we still get to see you Christmas Day.”

The morning rush

I love DW but I just don't get her at times.

This morning is one of those times. SS has a hard time getting up in the mornings. DW has to yell at him EVERY. SINGLE. MORNING. in order to get him up. The worst part about it is that SS will get up, get dressed, eat (if the mood strikes him because pouring himself a bowl of cereal is oh-so-hard) and then he will crawl back into bed. DW ends up having to yell and scream at him AGAIN to get up.

14x - 3 = 7 + 4x
14x - 4x = 7 + 3
10x = 10

Me: "SO what is x?"

SS: "Zero?"

Me: "Don't guess. Think!"

SS: "Urm...."

Me: "How do you isolate the variable?"

SS: "Put all the variables on one side of the equation and the constants on the other."

Me: "Yes! You've done this! Now all you have to do is follow through to the next step."

SS: "What is the next step?"

Me: "Your answer shold be ' x equals...."

SS: "So....I have to divide both sides by 10?"

Me: "Yes!"
