All over social media and on almost every street corner festooned with flowers - there are random proclimations of "love".

This isnt a rant or a problem - this post o mine - merely an interesting occurence with SD Munchkin 12.

So, Munchkin came in the house last night after school with DH, and she didnt say hello, or anything. Just sat in the rocking chair on her phone or tablet drawing. I knew something was wrong, but thought maybe shes just tired. I left her alone, to decompress from the day.

Curious if anyone of you darling people have feedback on this topic.

I just recently started a new job that is awesome. I make great money (almost exactly the same as DH), and the most incredible benefits. I have not only medical, but Dental and Vision and they are known to be good plans in general (Anthem Blue Cross...)

I added DH. He also has employer-paid medical, but not dental or vision.

DH asked me to add Munchkin SD12 because her mother just lost her job that had great benefits (the same as mine) and previously had BOTH children on there with herself.

And who does she call when her car stalls 3 blocks from her nasty apartment, who does she ask "can you turn around?" as he is running Munchkin SD12 to school like he does every single day, and then gets himself to work, where he wrenches all day every day so he can pay and pay and pay? Yup, you guessed it!!!!

She ran out of freaking gas. And calls MY husband, asking can he rescue her!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all you Steptalkers!

And happy friday.

Today is my (hopefully) last day as a temp. I am taking a quick break from all the "cleanup madness", because I want to make certain that things are ok for when I am gone. I have officially not officially closed my contract and have a week of prep/break before I start my new position January 2!

New Year, new job! Twice as much money, Medical, Dental, Vision, RETIREMENT! Oh and nice people 9I hope)

New year, new life.
