It MUST be Friday the 13th

So, DH texted me earlier and said my m-I-l might have to stay with us in Denver tonight because there might not be a way for her to get back to Longmont due to all the flooding we've had here in the last couple of days. Mil lives in Longmont, but works closer to here, and I kind of think if she was able to get to work, she should be able to get home because it's stopped raining for the last few hours and maybe crews are working on it. I actually wouldn't mind her staying here but for two things: SS12 and SS14. We have them on Friday nights.

It's the ONE thing I can control!

So, we're about 3 weeks into the new school year and ALREADY DH has been getting e-mails from SS12's school saying he's behind in not just one, but two classes. One of the e-mails from his English teacher made sure to specify that it was because he hasn't been doing his homework, not because of absences. DH was like, "Absences?" Turns out there was a day or two BM couldn't find anyone to pick him up from school, so she just let him stay home. There are these things called busses, but I digress...

What a couple of BRATS!!!!

SS14 and SS12 just got an earful from me because they are brats. They made some snarky comments about how the dust-catcher on the floor we use for the dogs must not be working because the hardwoods are a little hairy (and by a little, I mean almost unnoticeable, but anyone with dogs knows what I'm talking about). I pretty much snapped and said, "Um, excuse the hell out of me?

Does anyone here have either kids or skids with ADHD who opted out of meds once they turned 18?

I'm just curious to know because I don't think I've ever really known anyone who was medicated as a child, then opted out of meds once they were an adult, and what the result of that was. Both of my skids have ADHD, and are medicated about 75% of the time (during the school week and at BM's house), but when they're unmedicated (with us), they are borderline out of control. Actually, not just borderline, they're very out of control.

Taking Bets Now....

Will DH cave to the skids and take them to the Taste of Colorado today? He already knows I don't want to go because I have the sunburn from hell and I'm super sore from my triathlon yesterday, which means he might not, but SS12 is being SUPER whiny and does not stop until he gets what he wants, so he might.

Be careful what you wish for...you just might get it

So, for the last few years, I kept asking DH when SS14 was going to hit puberty, mostly because I can't stand his shrill, shrieking voice, especially when he's gearing up to argue about nothing, which is the vast majority of the time. Well, the time is here, and his voice is finally starting to change...only now, when his voice cracks, it sounds EVEN WORSE. Of course, it cracks especially badly when he's gearing up to argue about nothing...which is the vast majority of the time.

Disappointment Central

Last night, DH asked me if I wanted to go to the Broncos scrimmage game today, and of course, I said yes. Then the disappointing news dropped that he was picking up the skids today from his parents', who they'd been camping with all week, and we'd all go together. I thought they weren't getting back from that until tomorrow, but what am I supposed to do, say, "Oh, well, in that case, no, I don't want to go get an up-close and free look at Peyton Manning throwing a football like a boss?" So we all went, and surprise surprise, the skids were totally embarrassing in public.

Question of the Day:

Why did my house smell totally fine until the SS's woke up and came upstairs, and then it smelled like continuous fart? Feel free to answer this question any way you want, but my guess is probably that SS's are disgusting, prepubescent grossness. I do not now, nor will I ever understand why teenaged/pre-teenaged boys apparently take to showers and cleanliness like vampires take to sunlight and garlic. Especially when the father of said boys was OBSESSED with cleanliness when he was their age. Maybe their mom is just a total grosser too and that's where they get it from. Just a guess.

Crap, what is going to happen this weekend?!?! Anxiety!!!!!!

Okay, it's not actually that bad, but I am definitely wondering what may happen in this action-packed weekend. First of all, SS11's birthday is tomorrow, which I don't give two farts in the wind about, but also, Sunday is Father's Day. So...even though it's BM's weekend, I'm wondering if some bullshit crap will come up tomorrow about having to go see SS11 for his dumb birthday (aka the day he squirmed his way into the world, thus making my life harder).

Just curious...what would you do if your skid called you a bitch?

Cuz that's what happened to me tonight. Happy 40th birthday, DH, SS13 is now a bona-fide monster! It didn't end there, once we got home (yes, we were in public), he proceeded to tell DH that he is not his real father, and actually told DH that WE owed HIM an apology for getting livid and he did nothing wrong.
