DH can't let ss do ANYTHING on his own

iamlosingit's picture

Everything is annoying me today. EVERYTHING. Not sure why. Ss has had the last 2 weeks off school. He has a book report due tomorrow. We have had ss for 8 of the 14 day school break but not consecutively. He comes over for this weekend's visitation and not only has he not finished the book but BM has requested that DH buy notecards and "help" ss finish. Ss immediately requests that DH read the book to answer the required questions, then proceeded to pout and refuse to do the work when he refused.

updates on everything and OT request

So to anybody that has been keeping up with my blogs, MIL was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in 1 of 4 spots that had a biopsy done. She goes in today at about 10a.m.-ish so any "good vibes" and prayers anybody could send her way would be very much appreciated. She is getting a "lumpectomy" and the stage 4 spot is very deep according to the doctors but they are hopeful that they can remove it. DH and SIL are not handling it well at all and seemed to be taking turns driving the other insane over the weekend.

I WON! Help me think of something for "ME" this Christmas??

Okay.
I'm kind of freaking out.
I just won $400 at work to be given to me in gift-card form, the only catch is it has to be from certain vendors like "Bed-Bath-and-Beyond" or 'Target' etc.
If I do a gift card for a restaurant I know I will end up "sharing" with DH and ss. My practical side says get a sears gift card and buy a new dryer.
That is no fun.
I want to spoil myself FOR ONCE.
I know Dh would do the SAME THING if he won.
I know I am getting nothing for Christmas.

I feel like I'm losing DH

So DH doesn't even attempt to work any overtime when we had SS for visitation all last weekend...and on Monday's visitation despite the fact that we went grocery shopping he spent $30 on delivered pizza. "Our weekend" (the only one for this month, holiday visitation gives ss all our "alone days") rolls around and he works overtime until 930 on Friday (promptly falling asleep on couch when home) and he worked until about 3 on Saturday instead of noon like he promised.

"Glory to the Step-Son King!"

(to the tune of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing)
(Disclaimer- this song is merely poking fun at step-life. Apologies if anyone offended. Also realize 18-and-out isn't always true but was trying to remove a line from the song)

Hark! Dh family sings,
"Glory to the SS King!"
"NOT MY KID!" you want to shout
too bad DH didn't "pull out"
Oh how hard the step-mom tries,
See the hatred in his eyes;
Drink so you don't lose your mind,
SS RULES! (You must be blind)

Brother in hospital for the next month and thank you everyone

Just got a phone call from my little brother, he's going to miss Christmas he's getting a PICC line:
PICC stands for “peripherally inserted central catheter.” It is a long tube inserted into the arm and used for intravenous antibiotic therapy.. The tubing that goes into the patients arm is threaded into a very large vein, which connects it to the right side of the heart. By delivering medication so close to the heart, it gets pumped through the body more efficiently and will have to remain in the hospital for at least a month :O

F THIS I CANT DEAL WITH THIS MUCH AT ONCE

MIL diagnosed with breast cancer, DH is mentally a disaster, I found myself being talked into removing some of the items he owes me money for to decrease the remaining balance...which brings his total down to $883.56....my mom is being put in a psych ward supposedly after Christmas...and now I just got a message from my little brother who has cystic fibrosis and he is apparently in an ambulance on his way to the hospital. I'm still at work (12 hour shift) its a freaking visitation day and I feel like I'm going to have a meltdown. I don't want to do this anymore.
