I swear neither of DH's kids got any DNA from him...

Neither of them got anything from him......not a thing.

DH is a resonably intelligent man.  I've watched him figure out complex computer science hardware/software issues with ease without cracking a sweat.  He is funny and can pretty much name any song by just hearing a few lyrics..the man can kill it at name that tune.

His kids...I'm sorry but they are dumber than post, both of them. Its like all of Beaver's stupidity flowed right into the skids and negated anything that they might have gotten from DH.

Did DH just ask me to help in planning Beaver's vacation....

Answer is yes...and he does not appear to appreciate my humor in this one.

On the heels of DH once again not remembering or facting in the fact that I have to be at my desk working by 7 a.m. and he doesn't have to be working 9 a.m. which I got profoundly pissed off about, he send me the following:

 

Hey Beaver told SD that she needs to schedule vacation and where did she want to go.  SD said beach like always and Beaver said to something cheap.  So SD has no clue what is cheap to her.  Gatlinburg is out.  You got any ideas?

Nothing sounds as good as a DH that teaches his kids respect

Ah the sweet sound of my DH educating SD on how NOT to leave the kitchen after you cook something.

I have alway maintained with the kids..I don't care what you cook just follow some basic rules.

1. Ask before you use ingrediants that in short supply.  I may need them for a meal so as please ask if there is only 1 pepper left, etc.  Items that I have a crap ton of...go for it.

2.  Clean up after you are done.

3. Don't burn the house down.  Don't leave the stove or the oven unattended.  

Simple rules right...

all Aboard the Beaver Pity Train..

Wow..Beaver is certainly riding the pity train these days.

Another school day off and another drama.

Friday is good Friday..and thus SD has no school.  DH trying to lessen the amount of time that SD misses from school scheduled her dentist appointment for Friday morning.  SD is with Beaver this week, after being with use for 3 weeks and comes back to our house at 8 a.m. on Friday morning.  The dentist appointment is set for 8:00 a.m.  

SD..on my last NERVE....even DH is ready for her to leave

Due to spring break, etc...SD has been with us for 3 weeks.  

I cannot tell you how ready I am for her to LEAVE.  DH even said..is it sad that I will be ready for her to leave tomorrow.  

Between the job requirements, the endless talk of eye lashes (Sweet Baby Jehsus enough with the eye lashes), the endless teenage drama, the ever present jammie pants (put on some freaking regular pants on once in a while) ..I'm spent.

So..SD basically you are going to work no where

SD is turning 16 in a month......We are now in the home stretch.

SD has decided she wants to get a job for the summer.  Ok cool..we told her that we would help get her to and from if she does.

Except....she has some specific requirements..

1.  She will not work with food.

2.  She will not work anywhere her friends might see her

3.  She doesn't want to work with kids

4.  She won't work anywhere that smells like old people.

 

Well..well....well...GWR aka SS may be going to community college

Seem GWR has applied to the local community college.  Interesting since the last we heard GWR though college as a waste of time and only idiots go to college.  What he is going for, unknown.  I do know, however, based on his lack of performance in high school he will need to take remedial courses as first just to get the level of a college course.  So that shall prove to be interesting......since it will take longer and cost more.

Spring Break ploy for sympathy and the birthday of "he who shall not be named" aka GWR

Ah..spring is in the air..or it was till my lovely state reentered the artic zone.  Seriously, I enjoyed the 70F degree weather only turn around a few days later to.....26F degrees.  WT....pick a damn season mother nature.  I'm tired of the cold..so could we just move on to spring now.

OH SD....your entitlement is astounding

halo1998's picture

SD is 60 days from turning 16. She isn't a youngin anymore and can certainly understand more adult things.  AH....apparently not.

DH works in IT...he usually works for small startup companies. Now, there are risks with startups...but there are also great rewards.  We know this and plan accordingly.  In the last 2 weeks DH went from winning award at work to being laid off along with the other 30 percent of the company.  Its a startup and their sales were down and they didn't get another round of funding. So....yep...30% layed off in one day.
