We got a car when DS got his license as a car that they all could use (since OSS was just a few months later and DH talked to BM about it being a shared car with the skids since it's in their decree they have to agree on vehicles). Back then, a few months before buying the car, I asked DH about a car in BMs driveway (I was in our car when we dropped skids off after some trip). He and the skids said it was BMs for winter driving to far away work functions. She had an SUV but wanted to drive a smaller car during the winter? That didn't make sense.

DS and OSS are both starting college soon. DH has said he wants to plan a road trip to go see both of them (they are not at the same college, just do it in a loop). Now XH mentioned that he wants to go see DS in about two months.

I love, love, love my DS with my heart and soul. I will definitely miss him. I get a little weepy here and there; mostly I'm excited for him. I'm sure I will notice the void more after he is actually at school.

A relative got OSS and DS a bunch of school supplies two months ago for graduation. Same gift bag, same set of stuff. I looked through it when they were handed to me because relative was excited and wanted me to see.  

Today DH is in OSSs room and going through the bag to pack up some college crap. He asks me why my relative would get them a lighter. I said the relative did not get them lighters. He knows this person and he knows that’s true, it’s why he was confused as to that particular person giving the boys lighters as a gift. 

in about a month. He said he wanted to see if we all can go out to eat soon before DS and OSS are off to college. I said that would be nice. 

He made some other comment about OSS never coming around and being too busy every time DH asks. Or something like that. It was an Eeyore kind of comment and I have successfully disengaged to the point it barely registers.
