Aftermath II

Cover1W's picture

Getting tree and holiday mess finally cleaned up. Putting away ornaments...found TWO of the remaining three ornaments my grandmother made broken. One had been put back in the box with the top ripped off and the other one was on the tree with the bottom crushed. Eff me.

So I calmly found DP, showed him the issue and said to him that I'm not that upset about the ornaments but what's really making me mad is the girls breaking things and hiding the damage. The kitchen drawers and now the ornaments. He agreed that it is a problem and he has to figure something out.

Aftermath

SDs leave in two hours! I think DP and I have New Year alone together! It's been a fun, exhausting, annoying holiday. Overall pretty good.

Now to deal with:

9 days

I'm done. Christmas is over. No, I don't want to watch a movie together no I don't want to go to SD12s friends house tomorrow for another party. No more.

I did find more RUM BALLS I forgot about in the fridge. And there is another bottle of wine...DP knows I am overloading and he's being great so there's that too.

One more day.

Moods

DP is in terrible mood because his commute was really really bad. I'm going to tell him to stay in a hotel if he's so put out. Hell, he knows this happens. And half of the problem is that his car doesn't run right because he's never fixed it. Not my issue.

Full on Disengagment...ack

Ok, so I am declaring here, full disengagement from SD11 (she'll be 12 next week...oi!) and DP (him for cleaning issues). I will not help. I had enough with the room cleaning scenario and other little stuff and DP's constantly complaining about how he has it so rough and he's so tired (esp. when SDs are with us). I've been super, super good this week. I haven't brought up SDs, except for SD9s TF issue which we were both on the same page with (but has DP discussed it with SD9 as he was going to last night? - a resounding NO would be the correct answer of course!)

SDs and Friends

Kind of an odd situation here.

Klepto:

DP and I realized some of our office tools (stapler, pencil sharpener, tape, things like that) were missing. I searched SDs rooms and found nothing.

Then I remembered that SD9 and her Troublesome Friend (TF) were playing "Post Office" and that TF has this habit of taking things home that are not hers.

Fun Times

Interesting morning.

SD9 made her own eggs and bacon sandwich with only a little supervision from me. DP started to object but had to use bathroom so I took over, fuck that. She did great and was super proud of herself.

SD11 OFFERED to do a load of laundry rather than load the dishwasher. DP started to object but fuck that! I accepted her offer and she did a whole load, washed, dried, folded and put away.
