Loghead has a job interview tomorrow!
Not many teaching jobs are opening up in our area, and this would be a good opportunity for our family.
Think of us please.
Ugh. If I didn't feel so sick tonight, I'd go get me a daquiri! Ok, first off, many of you saw my vent earlier about the possibility of the skids on my insurance... Still contemplating what to do. I'm a custodial stepmom of 12 years, and I have always been a part of the skids medical care. Loca Grande does not pay CS because she is a crazy b%$*& that doesn't stay employed in one place for too long, because it would mess up her disability checks for her mental illness.
My S.O.has a dayjob from 7 am till 4 pm in construction and he works as a security guard from 10 pm till 4 am.
He comes home at 4:15 am from his nightjob; sleeps till 6 am; goes to his dayjob and comes home at 4:30 pm.
He'll watch tv till around 7pm eats dinner, takes a shower and either goes back to watching tv till 10 pm or sleeps from 8 pm till 9:30 pm (when I wake him up) and then goes to his nightjob.
ok self...you know we have the SK every wednesday, you talk to yourself all day, talk yourself up to be excited and happy when you get home. Make plans in your head to have a nice night with them, even stop to get cookie dough to bake cookies. yup, driving home quite smitten with self, park, think how happy the kids will be to do cookies, open door...and immediately I am in a sour mood. why? why do I do this. No one did anything, no one said anything, no one is arguing. Am I just that much of a bit$%?
SIL calls me up and says "Guess what?" and I said "What?" She SCREAMS into the phone "I'M PREGNANT!!!" (Keep in mind this is the obsessive, controlling SIL with the destructive children). My first inkling was to say "You have two kids you can't handle and now you are adding a third to the mix....Great." But I didn't...All I said was "Congratulations!!! I'm getting a puppy." Silence....I thought the call dropped and she goes "But shouldn't you have a baby before you get a puppy?" Say what? I don't WANT a baby at this point, and I WANT a puppy so I don't care which comes first.
BF finally found the time to call me this morning. SD was busy at a playground. He called me again this afternoon. I guess he figured out why I was pissed and didn't reply to his text messages last night.
I am still pissed. Him calling me does not make up for him NOT calling me for almost three days.
He's lucky he called because I was going to end it if he didn't call today. I am still having serious misgivings re the relationship because of him not calling sooner.
I am planning on confronting him when he returns...
DH told BM that he is going to the lawyers next Wed to have CS adjusted since SS5 is leaving daycare and starting school in Sept and she got all bent out of shape, even though this is what they agreeded to but I guess with her losing her job, she is even more money hungry.
All the pup postings made me think of this: does anyone else have a step-dog? We have a dog that goes back and forth between our homes, with no real fixed schedule. I feel bad when we have the dog because we both work long, full days (and BM doesn't work) so it seems unfair to the dog. But, BM insists that we take the dog, usually at random and without notice.
Anyone dealing with this?
I know the title sounds selfish but I kind of want to be. I am getting a puppy on Saturday (a male fawn pug) and he's already been raised with the name I wanted for him (Brooks). My issue is, ever since SD found out I was getting a puppy she keeps saying it is HER PUPPY. This puppy in no way is to be SD's. I, Fading, am going to be its sole caregiver and master. I am afraid that once Brooks gets here she is going to pull, hit, and chase him around and he is still young. She does this to my sisters dog on holidays and usually gets nipped at even though we have told her to stop.
