I arrive home from work and as if on cue, the washing machine starts clunking and whirring upstairs. SD13 knows to do her laundry on Friday because I handed her ass to her last weekend when, now say it with me....."She forgot..." She cut into MY time on the weekend, and I work all week long. I go to feed my dogs in the kitchen and SDog is upstairs with SD13 who has frantically just dumped her laundry into the machine, right when she heard the front door open. LOL SD13 then comes downstairs and I ask her to feed SDog and to check his diaper. She says, "Ok," and I start to feel evil. }:) This skid KNOWS what to do, she just NEVER fucking does it. So....

I ask her if she's checked his diaper since she's been home (for 2 hours)? Because it's not fair to have SDog sit in a wet diaper all day, and then still sit in it after you get home from school. SD13 says SDog "probably" needs his diaper changed. Well, either you checked it when you got home or you didn't. Either you put a fresh diaper on him when you got home or you didn't. I don't want wet diaper dog on my furniture, etc. (He marks in my house, so he's in a diaper.) I tell SD13 that it's her job to put him outside for a whizz when she gets home, let him empty out and change his diaper. We have a dog door but SDog will of course just go out and pee into his diaper all day, thus defeating the purpose, so usually he's wet when SD13 gets home. He should be DRY when there are people home. But SD13 and DH can't be bothered to monitor SDog. So he stays in a diaper until bedtime when he's in my room. NO, wait scratch that. A few nights ago he pissed up against my bedpost so I have insisted that he be in a diaper overnight now too.

Anyway, this is all happening, SDog is eating, SD13 is changing the diaper (because she's full of shit and has done nothing for the SDog in the 2 hours that she's been home.) Then the washing machine upstairs starts banging quite loudly and I got pissed. This is something I bite my tongue on ALL of the time. RIGHT when I get home, SD13 springs into action, acting like she's busy, doing laundry, fluffing pillows, putting the remote away...whatever. It's pathetic. So today, for the first time, I said to her. "I really CAN'T stand it when all of sudden you act like you're busy as soon as you hear the door open. You forgot to do your laundry until just now, didn't you? You dumped it all in, in one fell swoop and now the washer is off balance, clunking around and making all of that noise." SD13 mumbled some smart reply which means I hit the nail right on the head. I told her to go upstairs and move her clothes around to stop the clunking. }:) (Bwahahaha....) She goes up, and SDog now without his diaper on, follows her up. He leaves his bowl of food, which my dogs devour in mere seconds (Bwahahaha.....). }:) SD13 comes back down, sees that the bowl is empty (DUH....clueless as to which dog really ate the food) and lets SDog out to pee.

I go upstairs and all of the lights are on in the hall and the washing machine is open. Why did she just leave everything? I guess SD13 left it to go let SDog out to pee, since she thought he was done eating. }:) He got a few bites and that was it. He'll live. SDog used to be on one meal a day until I got him FT, so he's fine.

Later on, DH comes home and comically asks me where I found the package that was delivered to him? I told him it was on the table, rubber banded to my package that SD13 had brought in from the mail. DH goes on to explain that he had received an email that his package was delivered, called home to ask and SD13 said there was NO package. She's the one who carried it in from the mailbox! DH went as far as to call the vendor to get the originating city of the where the package was mailed from, so that he could file a claim with the postal service! Then DH called home again and had SD13 double-check in the mailbox to make sure she didn't miss anything, and she kept telling him there was nothing else out in the mailbox! (Bwahahahah......) DH was going nuts on the phone with her, right before I arrived, I think!

I told DH, SD13 is HIS kid, not mine, and we had a good laugh. I also told him how she was being pissy because I nailed her on not starting her laundry right after school. (Now it's sitting wet in the wash, and I'm not reminding her to move it to the dryer.)

DH said it was probably because he had SD13 checking the entire front of the house, the driveway and the mailbox for a good half hour for this small package, with some computer stuff in it! (Bwahahahahah......)

Love it when this happens! God forbid a skid has to get off of their ass and actually do something! Repeatedly! For 30 minutes!!! }:)
