Happy Thanksgiving!

StickAFork's picture

In the last week, I've had THREE separate blogs not post. Once I've typed it all out, I've "vented" and the motivation to retype it all just evaporates.
So, suffice it to say, things have been rather colorful in my world, I'm frustrated, I'm spending my Thanksgiving sick as a dog, AND it's my son's 18th birthday.

O/T Tattoos - Question

I wasn't going to post about this, but then I saw a comment in the "recent comments" section, and thought...what the hell...

So, I'm a pretty straight lady. One ear piercing, no tattoos, can count the number of times I've been drunk on one hand, etc. I know very little (read:nothing) about tattoos.

So frustrated!!!!

Well, things have been pretty dramatic since SD's "big reveal." Not so much as "dramatic" as just plain frustrating and annoying for me, I guess.

With the site changes, I've tried posting different things a couple of times, but then they don't show up, and by then I've vented and don't feel like re-typing it all, kwim? It's just so exhausting.

Planned Parenthood, SD, and DH's "pride"

In light of today's events, this just cracks me up.

SD got a certificate for medical assisting. She "wants" front office, but we all know it's a minimum wage job emptying bedpans. Smile

She is and has been working at a fast food joint.

She apparently interviewed and turned down at job at Planned Parenthoo. (I'm not sure I believe there was an offer, but whatever."

I'm gonna be a freakin' grandmother!!!

So many dirty words wanting to spill out!!!!

I've been silently grumbling to myself because DH is going to give SD a gift for her "graduation" tonight. Kudos to him...he asked me if it was ok with me first. Combine that with MIL contacting us, which always just irritates me, and I thought this was my cross to bear this week.

If only.

DH just called... seems SD called him. (I thought for sure she was gonna bitch him out about not going tonight.)

If only.

SD19 is pregnant.

It's Halloween!! The "petty" blog got me thinking...

My steps are all adults now (woooo-hoooo!) and my bios are teens, so this isn't so exciting for me anymore.

For who-knows-what-reason, for years, BM was all about drama on these stupid, pseudo-holidays. When SD was little, she was with us one day a week and EOWe. Heaven forbid that one day landed on a "special" day. BM went all out making sure it was a nightmare for us!

O/T: Today is a good day!!

DH has a job. Thank God. Not only did he get a job, he got THREE job offers in two days. He got to pick and choose which he wanted, and THEN another department wanted him temporarily to help with a project that will keep him busy while he's waiting for all the background check crap to be handled.
Why is this a good day?

O/T - Total Mom Brag

I have 3 teens... DS17, DS14, DD13.
DS17 is having a bonfire/pool-spa party tonight with about a dozen HS seniors over.
He willingly invited his two younger siblings to join in.
They are all currently sitting in the spa playing a game of "telephone" and having good, clean fun.

With everything that happens with teens these days, I've got a group of half naked, hormonal, dingbats playing "telephone." No booze, no sex, no nothing bad.

Update to SD's "graduation" blog. SIGH.

I can honestly say that stepparenting is the hardest thing I've done.

We still haven't given SD an answer yet...but DH spoke with her the other day for various reasons. I don't care, didn't ask. Smile

In telling me about it later, he says he told her he wasn't sure yet if he could go, but if he did, he'd be coming alone.
