Wow! I can't believe I haven't updated my thread in more than a week! What's the world coming to?
Really, there is very little happening. I haven't heard from Match Lady at all since I posted last. I'm not bothered by it so much anymore. I took a look at Match a couple nights ago, for the first time since the "incident", but didn't feel compelled to contact anyone. Saved a few to look at later, but that was it.
S20 was down from school last weekend. He realized he hadn't packed any warm clothes when he went up in August. So he and five friends came down for the weekend. The three guys stayed at my house, the three girls at tbxw's. She got the better end of the deal. The guys left a mess, my understanding is the girls didn't! I went out SUnday afternoon to do saome shopping. Before I left I mentioned that we actually had trash cans, and they were welcome to used them for various remains of what they had eaten... takeout boxes, cups, bones from wings... I got home, the kids were gone, all the crap was still out. I think I may tell him he needs to stay in a motel next time! On his dime, which I don't think he has!
The older boys' room is a complete disaster area. They each blame the other. I told them they should figure it out over Christmas. I suggested that after that I was going in with two bags. One for trash, and one for stuff I wanted! Somehow, I don't think they were listening! I am the master of clutter, but they've taken it to a new level.
Tbxw took the required Parent Education class Monday. She said it wasn't too bad. I take it tomorrow evening. That's the last thing that has to be done other than the calendar creeping along. I may hold off on getting things signed off until near the end of December. She says that her company won't change insurance except on the beginning of the month. And mine won't let me carry her after the D. I don't understand how her's can do that, I would have thought it would be handled similarly to having a baby, effective when it happens. She's already signed up to be covered at the first of the year. I might ask her to look into a month long policy to get her by, she's healthy, so unless something happens she would probably be fine.
It seems that the new meds my doc gave me might be helping. It's hard to tell yet, since it's kind of an intermittent thing to begin with, but I think I am having fewer coughing fits. That's a good thing!
Next project... clean the garage! There are trains out there asking to be worked on!
