I traveled out of town this weekend to a funeral, leaving DH and SS alone to their own devices. Not really the smartest thing in the world, but hey, I needed to be there for my best friend. On my way home I get a phone call from DH asking how I was doing and saying that they had stopped into Game Stop while waiting on the movie to start and SS found this card game he really wanted. My first thought was "OMFG HOW MUCH MONEY DID YOU JUST SPEND??" Luckily the next words out of his mouth were "I didn't spend any money." He was spared my wrath.

And SS13 is a little scared. Brand new school in a brand new state, with all new people. Plus a lot of new rules at the school that he's not used to. I honestly think the only part he's liking about this right now is that he loves his school clothes. I mean seriously loves them, to the point that we've had to ask him to stop wearing them and wear his regular clothes.

I'm so not ready for the bedtime fight tonight. Or the 5:45 am wake up fight tomorrow, and the homework fight tomorrow afternoon. At least his dad will be here to help with the homework fight.

So the skid has greatly stepped up when it has come to helping me with things I need due to my broken foot and not being able to walk.

But doing his own chores...ohemgee. Right now there's a basket of his laundry sitting right beside him. When he brought it up from the basement (several hours agao) his dad told him to fold/hang the clothes up. "I'll do it in a minute." Then right back on his computer.

So we're downtown today, visiting a store doing a promotion for free school supplies and to see about getting SO and SS new phones. (They went swimming with thiers last month) There was some serious confusion between us and the store manager on the different promotions going on, so since he was nearby (all the stores in the area were doing the give away today), the district manager was going to come in and speak with us.
