Unintentional Consequences

It is funny that in my business networking meeting yesterday the topic was "Unintentional Consequences". 

Last night BM texted DH 4 times, starting with "Please have SS call me" and the last was "You will have my son contact me immediately". DH did not respond.

She texted me 2x. Also starting with "Please" and the 2nd was "Have my son call me NOW". - As much as I wanted to say something back, I ignored it.

Sorry to blog hog. I have to get this out!!

I got home and DH was just sitting on the couch and SS was asleep still. 

I said something snippy to DH and walked upstairs opened the door and told him to get up and pee in the drug test cup I just got. He "couldn't pee". (It's been 2 hours now, I wonder how long he is going to hold out)

Then as he came in the living room I looked at DH who just looked back at me. I said ok fine. I will do this.

Me: Tell your father what happened

2:50 am wake up call... from the cops

I swear to Dog, I am so done. After this visit I don't even want SS back in our house. 

 

BS15's friend was still over my house last night hanging with SS16. Great- he is entertained and I don't have to even talk to him.

At some point in the middle of the night they snuck out with their bikes, went about 3 miles and crossed a 6 lane hwy/rd that has a 55mph speed limit. They went to the high school where BS15 goes and were caught trespassing by the cops.

Frustrated with DH

DH didn't confront SS16. (He is smoking weed in the bathroom at attempting to cover it up with axe body spray)

We did search his room and the bathroom while he was out with BS15's friend and found a burner cell phone (in case we grounded him again, I'm sure) but no weed.

DH has duty today so he won't be home until tomorrow night, which just leaves me and the 2 SS's. 

I realize that I am a total control freak personality and because DH didn't deal with the smoking, I feel like I won't be able to keep my mouth shut if I notice it again. 

Pretty sure SS is smoking weed in the bathroom

I thought I noticed something Friday afternoon but couldn't put my finger on it, or where it was coming from.

Then last night I went upstairs right as SS16 was coming out of the bathroom and it hit me. Weed. Attempting to be covered by axe body spray. 

I didn't let on that I noticed anything and calmly went back down and text DH who was sitting next to me. He texted back, "what do we do?". I just shrugged. Later before we went to sleep I told him to deal with it before my kids come home (17th). 

Today is the day! Will he or won't he?

He should be boarding the plane in about an hour. 

DH works in a classified area so he doesn't get to bring his phone to work, not that he could get reception anyway. He emailed BM and texted SS with flight reminders and requested for them to respond letting him know that SS would be on the plane so he would know to go to the airport for pick up after work. Neither replied last night.

New Child Tax Credits

I have reached out to my CPA but they are not even sure how this is actually going to work. Maybe you ladies have been able to find out more?

We get SS every other year. I get my bios every year (part of my divorce, I did not take alimony or retirement benefits - he is military and we were married more than 10 yrs). 

Last year we claimed SS, we got his stimulus $ in our tax return. 

We believe that since we claimed him last year, we will get the tax credit for him as well. You can't opt out of 1 of 3 kids. 

The not knowing and anxiety

SS is supposed to be here on Tuesday. We of course have no word from him or BM if he will be arriving. SS did not acknowledge DH on fathers day. I tried to reach out to him 3 times over the 3 weeks before (once a week) to ask him about gifts for DH with no response. So basically same ol' same ol'.
