SS26 is getting engaged next weekend.  Well he is asking her anyway.

Her parents and the mothers boyfriend are to attend as well, but it will awkward for them three. Seems they cant be in the same room without arguing.

We don't really know the parents too well.  We have tried on multiple occasions to engage them in conversations but it always goes like this:

Us:  so how are you?

Them: fine

Us: great, so (insert any question at all here to try to get to know them)

Them: answers and then walks away.

Father's Day funny - or not

SS26 has to work fathers day and will make up a dinner later.

I asked DH if him and SS21 STB22 were doing anything.  He said not that he knew of.

ooohhh ok - I normally did all the planning because his ex never acknowledged DH as anything let alone their father.  So I sent a text to SS21:

Classy: - hey sunshine, I know SS26 has work Sunday, but do you have any plans for your dad for fathers day?

SS21: - no, Im free all day.

OMG!  I spit my water on my phone.

Hello Steppers, been a while.

DH and I took our annual vacation the last 2 weeks of November. We didnt take any trips as we did not have a trusted dog sitter, but did make the Eagles game - they won - Barely LOL.

DH's birthday is the first week of December and unfortunately, our beloved fur baby passed the Tuesday before.

Our baby just turned 15 in September and he just slowed down the last 2 weeks.  It has been a hard week for both of us.  We as a family have been thru some hard times, but this has been the worst.

**UPDATE** OT Pupper Dog

UPDATE:  This weekend my dog thought he was in a grocery store LOL

We fed him anything we ate withouth the toxic stuff.  If he turned his head, it was an obvious no and we moved on. 

His favorite of the weekend?  Dry cat food.  The cat was not really happy but I do have a pic of them sharing the food from the dog bowl.  

I cant wait to make the pizza.  I am sure he will enjoy it.

Short day today and 3 day weekend for this gal.  

I am wishing you all a Merry Christmas without tears or stress.  Wine helps *biggrin*

This year it will just be my mom, DH and myself for the early dinner.  SS20 will be here about 7 for his gift grab.  DH is royally pissed off at SS24.  I have to say, I myself am pissed but more disappointed than anything.  

Can I breathe now?

It has been a long time posting.  If you remember, if not blogs should be there, my SS20 moved back in in February.  I cried until May since I knew that all the ground rules we laid down would last a few weeks and then back to his normal mopey, ignoring, not caring, not helping, not working, etc self come thru.

Wishing everyone

A very Merry Christmas!  

I am a lucky on to get done early today and off all day tomorrow. 

We have a quiet Christmas this year.  My mom is coming along with SS23 and SS19 with his GF.  Since SS19 needs to be told to be anywhere 2 hours in advance for him to be on time, I am just going to cook and have everything ready by noon and they can come when and if they want.  For SS19 it's a gift grab anyway.  Sorry kiddo, you literally just got socks and underwear to open. 

Cheers to a Silent Night
