Construction

SASX's picture

Plans have been drawn, hired the contractor (original company that built my house). The whole idea of adding to the house to make room for all was a decent one. Until they got to the part of: Well it should only be about 4 months that you are out of your house. :O

On a positive note today:

I was starting to get jealous. There is a poster on here who obviously has more free time than I do. She is able to post more, read more and in general has more time to goof off than I do.

So I fixed the problem and made her a district manager! }:)

Congrats JHW! You deserve it and earned it!

Financial Chat

Fskids were at their BM's this weekend, so I bit the bullet sat down and had the finances discussion with FDH. FDH had known I earned more than he did. He presumed it was in the 2-3 x's his income range. He now knows the truth and it was a rather eye opening shock for him. He is adamant he wants a prenump as he does not want anyone thinking that he is a gold digger.

Need advice please!

First let me say this our engagement happened about 4 years ahead of the schedule I had in my mind. I still have every intention of not getting married for 4 years and FDH is fine with that. He needed the engagement to put the relationship as permanent. Basically he feels at our age boyfriend/girlfriend was stupid. He wanted a stronger relationship title than that while understanding I am not ready to be Mrs FDH at this point.

The family "Dinner"

It was an actual dinner theater he took all of us to. So we got to watch a play/dance/muscial while eating. (Still am not entirely sure what the play was about. It was one of those 'new age' ones that make you think until you have a headache.)

We dropped the kids at home (my house) and went out with some friends. SO gets a little tipsy and heads up to the Karyoke machine. And he (terminally caucasion man) starts attempting to belt out a few songs that

DD sucks worse at keeping a secret than she does at lying.

Normally most parents/ step parents would be thrilled with this news. Easy to find out when the kid is up to no good. Unless of course, you have said child sworn to secrecy and she isn't supposed to tell someone something and her actions lead that someone your keeping the secret from straight to the answer of what that secret is.

Update on Just.his.wife

Her DH called me.

She has a few broken ribs, a concussion, and a hairline fracture of the pelvis. No internal bleeding, no surgery necessary at this point. She is being admitted for pain management and observation but he is saying she should be discharged 'at some point' tomorrow or Sunday at the latest.

Lesson for the day. Always wear your seat belt. It may have caused her broken ribs, but she was not ejected from the vehicle.

To keep my "boss of the year" title. I already filled out and filed her FMLA paperwork.

Prayer Request

This may not be my place at all. But I am doing it anyway. If she wishes to be angry at me later she may.

Just.his.wife was in a car accident this morning. Obama is visiting her city, traffic is a nightmare and she was hit on the interstate. She is in the ER now, no word yet on how bad she is, her truck is a total write-off though. She was on her way in to work when it happened. Please just stop for a moment today and send a prayer for her or some good thoughts. She has enough going on in her life she did not need this.

Thank you.

Life has been hectic so I am not able to jump online as often as I wish to.

BM is back to 'normal'. She is on medication, back to work, back to being a rational human being. She and SO sat down with their attorneys, no judge necessary and hammered out a new agreement.
