and "Hamilton" was everything it is cracked up to be and more!

DH and I had a great long weekend.  The weather was super shitty, so that part sucked, BUT we had a great anniversary dinner on the river Thursday night, spent Friday at the Museum of Science and Industry plus DH got my personal tour of the remnants of the Columbian Exposition tour (history degree pays off - lol) and saw "Hamilton" Friday night.  

Oh, for crying out loud, DH

Today is my anniversary.  DH and I are headed to Chicago Thursday for a long weekend.  I loved living there and wish I had never left, but now that Thing1 is there, I have a good reason to return to my old stomping grounds.

I was mentioning to DH this morning that I really want to see Hamilton while we are there.  Even though it's coming to Detroit soon, the only way to get tickets is to purchase the season, and I am just not that crazy about the upcoming season, other than Hamilton. 

I found some decent tickets that weren't super crazy expensive and texted DH -

Looks like someone filed her taxes...

On Saturday morning, I was out running some errands.  The following conversation takes place between DH and me via text: (Lexi is the skids' cousin, and her mother is Medusa's very erratic sister, Auntie Addict, who is now recovered but still unstable, and with whom Medusa has no contact)

Scene from the WOB kitchen this morning...

Backstory - DH loves those damn cereal keeper tupperware like things.  And, I mean loves them.  As in, he scoured the interwebs for just the right ones like he was finding a cure for cancer.  Me?  I don't really care because I don't eat cereal.  My kids always went through the box before anything could go stale.  

Well, well, well - another ASS update

Maybe the boy is figuring things out as he gets older....

Background - my SM, Linda, is totally great and super awesome when it comes to birthdays, anniversaries, all that stuff.  She sends the skids birthday cards with cash in them and buys them Christmas gifts - things my mom doesn't do anymore because she got tired of being ignored and not thanked for the gifts (and I am totally okay with the fact that she doesn't).

Ugh - get out of my way!!

I am at a divisional office for a jury selection.  My boss, who I generally like, came up today to help out because we brought in more jurors than we usually would AND this case has been a clusterf*ck  from the jump.  We tried to pick it last month, but ended up having a mistrial because one of the defendants acted the fool in front of the jury panel, anyway, that's a different story.

So. I have my groove.  I know my sh*t!  I am a badass!  She is TOTALLY GETTING IN MY WAY!

Pretty uneventful - lol!

We mostly talked about how I am back to feeling that DH doesn't have my back and is doing a piss poor job of parenting Smile

Jeanette told him two things - making excuses for your kids is a good way to cripple them AND not having your wife's back will not end well for him.
