DH asked if BM could stay with us if....
So, there is a forest fire raging nearby. We got an autodialer call yesterday about being ready to evacuate if we should be in the red zone soon. Luckily, it seems to have died back overnight, but BM's house is in the red zone so we wondered if the SD's should not go back to their BM's. They decided they wanted to go, worried about their possessions and pets. DH asks me cautiously "If BM's house should burn down tonight, would you, uh....would you uhhhh....be ok with her.....staying with us for awhile?"

Annoyed
The SD's 16 and 18 came over yesterday. I came home from work and DH was on the phone with SD18.SD 16 has a drivers license and SD18 doesn't, so SD16 drives them over for visits. DH was asking what they wanted for dinner. SD18 suggested chinese food and SD16 yelled accusatorily from the background "SD18, you know I hate chinese food!" Then SD18 suggested McDonalds and SD16 yelled again "You know I hate McDonalds!!"

Dirty cooking oil and Mysterious brownies
The SD's came over this last weekend. SD16 was distracted from her usual critique of our house and pets by a trip to the Dollar Store. She is always broke but loves to decorate for the holidays, so DH took them to get stuff to decorate our house for Halloween. SD18 actually came out of her silent angry funk for a hot minute! She actually SPOKE. She had a conversation at dinner with minimal accusatory BS. It was kind of nice, except that DH had taken SD18 to the store to get stuff to make dinner.

Crappy Christmas wishes
Hi all,
So this year has been difficult for me. The skids SD16 and SD18 have been behaving badly. SD16 is highly critical of everything and gives unsolicited advice on how to decorate our home, take care of the cat, and clean the kitchen "better". SD18 mopes around in the late night hours like a vampire, and sleeps til 1 pm. She leaves huge messes when she cooks. She doesn't speak unless its to criticize her dad or ask him to buy her a car.

DH is facing the facts
My DH is finally seeing the result of his inaction with SD18. She will be 19 this year, has no plans to work, go to college, or otherwise provide for herself. She is intolerable to be around, and doesn't want a relationship with DH, just money. She only calls him when she wants something. It is starting to sink in, and he is questioning his parenting of her all these years. I'd like to say part of me is happy, but its so damned sad.

DH stood up to SD18, whoa.
I survived another weekend with the depression twins! SD18 has gone from sullen angry snappishness to wierd ghostly silence, while SD16 occasionally rants at DH for being a slob.

O/T - my estranged mom fell
This iis off topic, but I really need to get some feedback, if you are game. My elderly mom, who I have not spoken to in 10 years, lives in another state and recently fell and broke some ribs. She is a tough old bird, like all the women in my family, and very stubborn. My little sister has 2 young children and lives out of state too, bt she is within driving distance - about 6 hours each way, I think. Its not an easy drive with a new baby and a young child.

SD's are so entitled.
So, the SD's came over this weekend, after being at BMs for 3 weeks due to a mystery illness that sounded like mono. SD18 crept in like a ghost, hiding in her room and looking like she didn't want anyone to even look at her. (Depressive episode, maybe?) She didn't speak a word to me. She mostly slept all weekend.

Spiritual Negativity and wayward ghosts....
Ok. This is going to sound wierd to some of you, if you are not spiritual, or if you have different beliefs, thats ok. You can skip this blog and write me off as a "hoo-ha wacko." LOL. So, for as long as I can remember, I have always been spiritually sensitive and seen /heard spirits on occasion. I am affected by certain places, and I avoid certain homes and places because of they way they "feel" to me. I am by no means a full-blown medium, but I like to call it a "glimmer" of what those people have.

SD nonsense update
So, here is my update for this week's SD nonsense. SD16 finally realized her housekey was missing, when she tried to unlock the door at our house and whoa! How did that happen? ( I took it back.) I didn't say a word.
