Ok I know I am being a blog post hawg.

Just got an email telling "parents of" SD16.5 Power Sulk that a long list of books needs to be returned or total fines will be owed.

$391!

Karma? Or Schaudenfraud? Or both?

When I mentioned it all he could say was "oh sh!t!"

Rubbing my hands together, evil smile on my face, maniacle cackle eminating...

And Im getting emotionally ready for concert tonight after work.

SO. Im going to put myself out there...

Husband is afraid of SD16.5 Power Sulks Math teacher! He got the call last week (of course did not tell me), and she wants a parent teacher conference. Ok, so no wonder PS has been out of school "sick", and avoiding coming to our house...I KNEW something was up. Oh she has to stay home because she didnt get enough sleep the night before, etc. Oh she forgot some stuff...nope she knows shes in trouble and her go-to is avoidance.

Sorry folks. I think the more I complain, the more clear things are becoming, thanks to all of you commenting.

I need to come clean.

The cleaning isnt the Real Thing bothering me.

Husband is losing his job in April, and April is fast approaching. Too fast. We talked it over, and he wants to take a month off. There is another job waiting for him, with benefits and retirement and more pay. But, because hes been working so hard for so long (hes only lazy in parenting and husbanding apparently) he needs a break.

So - Yesterday, my day off, I am cleaning up here and there and in general I am putzing around. 

I did a Bad Thing...

I was stewing about the state of SD16 Power Sulk's room and as much as I read the comments "close the door, it doesnt exist", I went in there to assess the "damage". I opened the window a crack to air it out, because the smell was so bad, and pungent it wafts out every time she goes in or out. Think greasy unwashed teen girl with lizard poop undernotes.

Not just a Random Vent

I am going to vent, and its not a pretty thing.

Toxic Troll just got a section 8 housing approval. In the town I want to live in, near the beach. NEXT TO THE BEACH.

And I am PI$$ed.

So...TT gets to go to Hawaii.

TT gets to move to beach town.

SD16.5 helps her move and walks her dog.

TT and SD living their best lives, while I slog along working, in a dusty ag town.

Husband is proud of Sd16 PowerSulk for getting the section 8 housing for her mother. Meanwhile she does zero to help us in, well, anything.

Happy Valentines Day to all, as I sit here in the California Sunshine, having taken the day off and my dog is sitting not at my feet but ON my feet. I love it. The cat is at the window surveying her extensive neighborhood territory, also warming herself. Its quiet.

So Im taking this small space of peace and tranquility to reflect on the advice and comments given, appreciating them all.

Firstly, thank you I appreciate you.

Now for the update, as small as it is, is an incremental and fundamental shift, I hope, in the right direction, at least for me.

the Great Cleaning Caper

Ok Steptalkers, Im putting this out there because its been growing on me like moss on the proverbial rolling stone...

What are your thoughts on skids cleaning their rooms and linens?

I ask because I TYPICALLY just ignore if the door is closed. It TYPICALLY doesnt bother me.

I generally NEVER go into SD16.5 PS's room. If I dont see it, it doesnt exist for me.

SD16.5 Power Sulk. So, we got into it last night.

I was home on a vacation day, and somehow things came up. And she exploded on me. I just sat there listening while she railed on and on.

Things had been quiet and nice relatively.

And then POW.

Her main complaint against me is that I ask her to do her dishes and not let them sit. And that I get upset if she doesnt say hello to me. And get mad if she doesnt clean up after herself which is why she spends 98% of her time in her room. My fault. Im evil SM.
