I'm getting better at this!

So DH has to take the SD to dance on Mondays. As per the usual, he didn't think about dinner until the last minute … whatever. I came up to eat the frozen pizzas he has thrown in the oven. DH is eating at the table. SD is prancing around eating leftover dinner rolls (way to go DH, that's a healthy meal). And SS14 is asleep. On my furniture. Which I hate because they slobber all over the pillows. But I didn't say anything.

DH told SS to get up three times while I was up there. SS didn't move or acknowledge DH. As DH and SD were getting ready to leave, DH was sternly telling SS to "get up right now and eat!" I am POSITIVE SS didn't move. I'm not looking and I'm certainly not waking the kid up.

But here is what is going to happen now. SS is going to sleep the entire time they are gone. He won't do his homework and he won't eat. But that okay - because now he won't be able to sleep at bedtime (who knows when that is cause this kid is up all night anyway) so he can just work on it until 1 am anyway. DH will come thru the door and will flip his lid on SS. And I will be downstairs silently laughing in my head as I watch my shows in my office. I did MY work today when I was supposed to!

Oh … and I - again - didn't wash the pans the pizza was made on. Had to leave the pizza out for SS you know! Even if he does bother to get up and eat, SS will leave it sitting there as well. He would never think twice about putting it away.
