H is still sick. Actually, he sounds worse. He was in a foul humor all weekend and left for a one night business trip on Sunday night.
Friday - we went to a Christmas concert where H acted like an azz - he felt the music was too loud, that it was bothering the baby,complained that there were no concessions available at the venue. He acted like he had ADD - took the baby and left the concert about four times. The other two kids and their friends and I had a great time. DD 2 was not at all bothered by the noise - H was projecting. He is very sensitive to environmental stuff - noise, smells, tastes - really bother him. I was mildly pissed.
Saturday - H and DS14 were at it all day. H was pissed bec DS14 had procrastinated his homework all week and was now doing on Saturday when H had counted on his help getting Christmas decorations up in the bitter cold (while he was sick), also DS14 had lost his retainer. He has done a good job holding on to it - he has lost it one other time - our deal is that we pay for the first time it gets lost, we pay for 1/2 the second time, the kid pays 100% any subsequent time. Well apparently DS was not properly repentant in H's eyes - he was in mine and the consequence was already established so what is the big deal? DS14 then was also acting like an azz because he knew H was pissed but couldn't understand what the deal was. DS14 did bear personal responsibility in the issues but I think H was also just in general bad humor and it wasn't entirely DS's fault.
Sunday - more of the same but DS and H finally seemed to make up. I was glad when he left in the afternoon for his trip. I hope he and his internet porn were very happy together last night. As for me, I enjoyed my evening with the kids.

PS I did try to lighten the mood - my alma mater and H's are playing each other for the National Championship in football. I went to UF, he went to Ohio State. I offered a private wager to be discussed later. We'll see if he takes me up on it. Of course, I have something sexual in mind which I'm sure he knows. He'll probably ignore the whole thing.
