Kids’ cruise to Alaska in July turned into a December trip to Mexico. They’ll be there for their 15th birthday. D14 will be thrilled. S14…not so much. He’s not a beach person. But he does love being at a resort where he can eat ice cream three times a day so that might make up for it…lol.
Had a text from D yesterday. He wanted to tell me that he was listening to his coworker go on about her son’s “arrogant a-hole of a teacher” that she complained to the principal about … XH apparently. That actually surprises me because he can be really charming when he wants to be and parents used to love him. But I think his dislike of his job and the school he is at has bled over into his teaching. He really loved his old school and his coworkers (one of them was an affair I know now) and this one has never measured up even though he managed to have an affair there too. I noticed a distinct decline in his attitude toward teaching just before we split. I guess that hasn’t improved. Kind of a shame. His teaching was always such a source of pride for him before. Ah well… not my circus, not my monkeys.
