How long after the skids go home does it take you to shake the SKID ICK!

If you read my blog from yesterday I was all fired up. SO spoke last night about the issues with OSS and fucking face time lol. I am still just GRRRR. Feeling icky already dreading the next visit in 2 weeks, trying to mentally prepare myself for it. What I want to do is focus on the upcoming weekend with no skids. Just my bios and SO. Plan date night look forward to OUR free time. Yet here I am its Tuesday and I can’t shake the ICK.

How long does the ICK stay with you after the skids go home and how long does it take you to shake off the skid ick? Do you have things you do? Ohhh I don’t know fucking brain bleach might help!

Sometimes it goes away immediately and sometimes it never goes away. One continual state of ick until the next visit.

DH always cleans skid rooms and does their laundry but I never feel quite right until I've scrubbed the bathroom, washed the linens (dh doesn't think the skid sheets need to be washed every single time they are here and I disagree). Once most of the physical traces of skid are gone, I have an easier time ridding my mind of them completely.

It's not the physical ICK it's the mental ICK I can't shake. They don't have their own rooms so when they go so does all their stuff.

Oh, I figured it was more mental/emotional than physical. Mine is too. The cleaning helps me purge out thoughts of them. Lol.

But, as anyone can see from my posting history on STalk, it rarely goes away before the next visit. I'm not great at mental purging. Sigh.

Yea it totally is. I'm to good at it too and by the time I shake it off it's time for the next visit. I really want to get rid of it and feel better by the weekend so I can enjoy my skid free weekend and enjoy my free time with SO.

My SS doesn't make me feel "icky" per se. My SS is just a blithering idiot and I do worry at times that it might be rubbing off on the rest of us.

So, to make sure that no one else's intellectual growth is being stunted by SS's presence I test everyone (including myself) in some way shape or form after SS is gone. For myself, a good "hard level" sudoku keeps me grounded. For my kids, some reading or a game which involves memory recall.

My SD brings the teachings of BM and GBM into my house. When my DD gets old enough to learn things from SD, I'm seriously going to tell SD that she's not allowed to tell DD anything that she learned from BM or GBM unless she checks with me first to make sure it's correct. I don't want anything those idiots come up with to be said to my daughter.

We have skids 50% of the time, 5-5-2-2 plan. When we've had them for 5 days, I say TGIMonday! But then I know their coming for 2 days real soon so I kinda emotionally coast thru it. When TGIFriday comes I do the happy dance because they won't be around for 5 days Smile I clean and get rid of any sign of them }:)

But, I never seem to get DH back on the 5 day skid free weekend because ya know he's got to see them in sports etc.! God forbid he should just back off for a bit. FML Sad

Sometimes I get reminders that SD was there a few days after she's been gone. I went to use the main washroom in my house yesterday (I only use my ensuite when SD is here). I lifted the toilet lid and saw drops of her pee on the seat. I went to check on the bathroom in the basement as well since her room is down there. She didn't even flush that one! I'd leave it all for DH to clean but he's away for 10 days.

So yeah, I get some gross reminders days after she's been gone.

I break out the cleaning products and scrub the house, wash anything they touched, etc. Oh, and I shake my booty and do a happy dance while I'm at it. }:)

LMAO you guys are funny. Hadenough, yup we are headed to a football game tonight for YSS who I generally like.. SO is the same way and has EVERY intention of leaving work every Tuesday to go to games until the season is over . I will go to the weekend ones and the home games. I pretty much go because I know it makes BM MISERABLE AND UNCOMFORTABLE that I am there and I enjoy it, plus I lost about 30 pounds in the last 18 months and I found it about 25 of it, it's on her }:) Immature? YUP do I care? NOPE!! I'm gloating over it.

Lol I always do the dishes and wash all the little plastic cups and plates, clean up all the remnants she left lying around the minute she leaves. I erase the evidence if you will. That has always helped me majorly for some reason. And it's so inconspicuous that DH doesn't know I'm doing it. So it's like a nice silent sigh of relief.
