So. Brief update. 

DH went to lunch with my boss and they really hit it off. Boss is thinking about bringing DH on board as a creative consultant...just need to work out the details but I think it's going to happen. We'd like it to start February but that might be too soon...may have to be March. Trying not to get my hopes up...but I kind of am.  

DH May Have Job Offer...Trying Not to Get Hopes Up!

So...very short backstory. 

The place where I work...I’ve been telling DH for several years that it’s a great place and my boss is awesome. It’s an agency and I’m a writer. 

DH has agency experience in his 20s and 30s and really burnt out on it...has lots of horror stories of nightmare directors. I’ve been telling him it’s not like that anymore...people don’t yell and scream or make you feel crappy or work you into the ground...

Does Anyone Else Think Their Skids are Kind of Ugly?

I know thi is petty - but DH recently posted a picture of YSD and it made my stomach turn....and I realized...she's gross.  

Her face is kind of scrunched up and she's doing that douchebag lip thing (not Duck Face...but similar. I don't know how to describe it...it's kind of like if you made a very slight Duck Face and then thought to yourself: "Yeah. I'm the shit." while cocking your head to the side and raising your chin. Sometimes accompanied by peace fingers. Anyway...I hate that look so much.) 

This is Priceless

Adult daughter used to talk to her dad on the phone every night about his marriage problems with her mom. She told him to get divorced and find happiness.

Can't for the life of her understand why her dad's new wife didn't like her or get along with her. 

(Um. It's called "mini-wife syndrome" and "emotional enmeshment" sweetheart. Look it up.)

So...

This is a new one. Wondering if anyone here has ever had to deal with something like this. 

DH and I are going out of town for Thanksgiving...spending the week with some friends. All three skids plus OSD's BF are coming into town for the holiday to spend it with BM and that side of the family. 

Feeling so low

I haven't been around here in forever - just off and on sporadically making a few comments. 

My skids are all aged-out and are mostly launched. I know I'm lucky in that...but I'm feeling so low lately and don't know how to shake it. I feel like I have no future here in my home. Nothing to give me purpose. It's all about my DH and his needs and wants all the time. 

Oh my Word. Can You Believe This S***?

A petition to limit the inheritance rights of stepparents.

 

My favorite line: 

"In effect, this petition proposes legislation to reduce the legal status of step-parents from that of "spouse" to that of a child, grandchild, or other heir. No American should be made to suffer as did Cinderella!"

Only My SS Could Be This Dumb...Right?

I can't decide if I'm furious or if I just find this extremely funny. Leaning toward funny...but also worried that my SS will never amount to anything in life. 

This morning, DH gets a call from SS because he's in town but he has no clothes with him...so he's wondering if he can borrow a few things.

DH is confused. SS lives 3.5-4 hours away now. Why did he come to town without packing anything?
