He lost all sympathy on my end with that one.<br /><br />JohnW, it's supposed to be nice (sunny & lower 60s) Thursday & Friday, so I expect that the mellow people among us just might hang out on the patio with a nice little fire and beverages of choice!Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-68131779997928178022011-11-21T21:48:38.650-05:002011-11-21T21:48:38.650-05:00You do look nice with the two kids there.

Cussing is how I cope and it was such a screw up of a day and a big day for Wes. <br /><br />Plus... here I had tried to do something "normal" like meet a friend after work for a drink or two. Normal right? Not for me. My brother shows up at my work needing a ride and traffic is all fubared and then I get the call, "hello, Mom, you screwed up on the dates."<br /><br />Adult language in front of an adult. You saw how totall stressed I was about possibly screwing up wes' time with a friend during the Make a Wish deal... <br /><br />But yeah.. He did chide me and criticize me for it all. As my family said I don't see or get his pass/aggro ways. <br /><br />Thanks for still being my friend.

I think I would have let Wayne go postal on him and just cleaned up the mess. (That's what I tell DD's boyfriends: "She's old enough & mature enough to make her own decisions, so I don't have to threaten you. I just have to scrape up what's left if *she* decides to turf you.")<br /><br />Yeah, I thought "not cool" for zinging you about using adult language (in front of adults) when I was there. Like us, you've put up with too much for too long. Don't give him a week to pack, give him 2 hours and a ride to wherever it is he wants to go next. Hell, when he went barhopping, putting his stuff at the curb would have been a proper response.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-57949481455232839822011-11-21T12:03:26.059-05:002011-11-21T12:03:26.059-05:00Damn. That's some happy cuddling going on ther...Damn. That's some happy cuddling going on there :)<br /><br />We're having to have "teh talk" with my brother who was going to stay with us for a week or two 4 months ago. <br /><br />Turns out he's being a nasty wanker to Wes and being a total snotbucket to Danni. He does not have the right to talk down to my kids at all. "That's my job :)" I am becoming momma bear and last night had to keep Wayne from going positively postal on him. <br /><br />Was supposed to talk to him this weekend but he went barhopping and I was visited by my dance partner Mr. Vertigo. Barhopping? When you should be looking for a place, networking and finding another job... <br /><br />We might even have to have the talk on Turkey Day. But we did tell the kids last night that we were all on the same page about needing him to leave asap. I think they were scared hew as going to stay forever. Wes was very upset. <br /><br />Found out a little passive aggressive BS he pulled on Wes (who is autistic btw) He asked him if he wanted some of the garlic bread he was making. Wes LOVES bread. So he said, "Yes, Please." My brother then said, "how about a 'Yes, I would like some garlic bread you prepared Uncle Ryan, please'." NOT COOL. Danni and Wes told us but it was a few days later. We told them what to do next time. call us immediately.

Someone phoned in a threat to the local friend of the court in my old hometown last week… he was arrested almost immediately, but still. You should spotlight some of B2boy's antics some time. It's therapeutic if nothing else.<br /><br />Maria, there are compensations. Like Mason cuddles, and the opportunity to study conflict…Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-73021675463473038882011-11-21T07:38:05.841-05:002011-11-21T07:38:05.841-05:00Dude.
