Thanks everyone for checking on me. Nothing too new to report. Life just goes on. D15 is off school this week so she has been busy. I have been finishing my financials (yeah, me!) and helping my friend out with her new puppies.
D15 will be 16 on Tuesday. She is waiting to have a birthday party til summer so that she can have it at my friend's house (which is soooo much bigger than our house)and includes a tennis court and swimming pool.
H, trying to be the best Disneyland dad he can, got shot down twice this week. He asked D15 if she wanted to have her party at his condo. She said, "No, mom and friend are handling that."...
So then H asks her if she would like a car for her birthday and she said, "No, I'd really like a digital movie camera". I am so proud of her!!! You see, H informed me that he had made a unilateral decision to get D15 a car. I told him I didn't think it was a good idea, but he said he didn't care WHAT I thought. (What a typical MLC answer, don't you think?) The "MLC teenager" with money trying to buy off the real teenager.
Anyway, since Tuesday is a school day, both H and I are taking her out to dinner. She asked if she could bring one friend (I am sure this is her way of preventing a fight from breaking out between her parents).
I haven't seen H in a couple of weeks and that was only for a few minutes, so I don't know how this will play out. I will do my best to treat him kindly. He is such an alien now. Doesn't know what to do next. He will just have to find his way through the darkness. I can't help him anymore than I have already.
My biggest thrill is coming today! I am having a big storage shed delivered to my driveway. It's 8ft wide by 10 ft. high, by 20 ft. long. It's one of those things that they deliver, you fill it up and then they come and haul it to their storage facility. (like Pods, or Mobile Mimi).
I am NOT having it hauled away, just keeping it in my driveway for a month to completely empty our back rec room.(It's about 500 sq ft.) I have no where else to store the furniture, etc. that is in there while I repaint and recarpet.
I am letting D15 be very involved in choosing the colors, and in selecting the carpeting. We will probably hire someone to do the painting as it will take us forever and we probably wouldn't do a very good job anyway.
So that's all I know for now. Keeping up my PMA and praying a lot. Please know I include all of you in my prayers.
