MotoQueen 13195 | Subject: RE: GHOULIES moving towards the islands. givemashot - 2012-09-14 12:49 AM Wow, traveling dad or not, he should be there for the kids when he is home. I would have blown my top and had a major argument right then and there, not in front of your child of course. But yes, as two others have stated, you need to have a major talk.Melissa! dee! Robin! Ann! Hi again guys!
Well the homework saga continues... Dear Hubby arrived home this afternoon from his trip, just before I had to head to work for the night. The Boy had a big Book Report to write--plus a small spelling assignment, and a small math worksheet correction to do, plus review the poem he is supposed to memorize and pass off by tomorrow. All of this is written down, in the planner the school gives all of the kids. The teacher has them write down what needs to be done in the planner every day. Every. Day. The kid is in 5th grade. This is not new, he's had the same type of planner since 1st grade. Hubby actually looked at me and said "you have to teach me how to use his planner". I was dumbfounded. You just look at it and see what's written, then ask him to show you each item when it's done. It's not rocket science. Then when it's all done you sign off the bottom of the page where it says "parent signature". Needless to say, when I got home from work just before 11, The Boy was still up, by himself, trying to finish his homework. He barely got the rough draft of his report written. Hubby was holed up in the bedroom, surfing the internet. And the boy's dinner was still sitting on the counter, barely touched. Grrrr.
I've gotta say, I'm impressed with how seriously my boy is taking his work lately. He had even written me a note asking me to wake him up early in the morning so he can finish up the final draft of his report before school.

MotoQueen 13195 | Subject: RE: GHOULIES moving towards the islands. ironannekidd - 2012-09-12 5:42 PM I'm working on it. It is hard when you have worked one place for 23 years and you don't want them to know that you are looking to jump ship. And I am friends with the director here. I know that she would understand, and would love to ask her to be a reference, but then again...kns57 - 2012-09-12 5:37 PM deehtz - 2012-09-12 8:51 AM That and 12K more a year. We have had no raises for the past 5 years and it looks like this will be year 6 with no raise. That is also no cost of living increases also, and they have raised our expenses on health insureance and co-pays. So, 12K sounds really good to me. Plus being the big boss. It is a one building system, so it would be a nice segway into a larger system if I decided to go for something larger.kns57 - 2012-09-11 1:22 PM I'm getting excited about the job opportunity. I've been looking into the system and the requirements for the job. Plus I spoke with a director at another system who used to work for me. He was very positive about me trying for the position and will be one of my references. Now to just line up a couple of other references without giving away what I am up to. I think one of my fellow rotarians will be a reference for me. Even though she retired several years ago, we work in the same system and she knows me in Rotary. Now to come up with one more.
So if the commute is a drawback (at least it would be for me), then what are the advantages? The autonomy of being the director? That could be very cool. Did you come up with any more references? |

MotoQueen 13195 | Subject: RE: GHOULIES moving towards the islands. ironannekidd - 2012-09-13 6:48 AM similar experience happened to my son, except they put him on a business plan and not an individual plan. The phone company actually caught their mistake, gave him a call, and he basically did not have a phone bill to pay for about 3 months due to the credits. I had asked him why his bill was higher than mine when I had two phones and he only had one. LOL, shows he should have listened to mom.Do not be like me and blindly pay bills without really looking at them. My past 2 cell phone bills have been HIGH. The initial bill I thought was because I added Caleb's plan. Last month I wasn't sure, but I paid it. I just got my new bill and it was $203. I thought that wasn't right so I went online and actually looked at the bill. They were still charging me for my individual plan, which was supposed to have been dropped AND the shared plan. I have now been credited for the overages and the individual plan has been dropped. That will save me $$ every month. That's more play money for me!

Master 3479 Utah | Subject: RE: GHOULIES moving towards the islands. Guess what my hubby did now? He bought a jet boat. This after he brought it up at the end of June, and I told no way in h-e-double hockey sticks. I those were my exact words. I believe I even told him that if he bought it behnd my back, he'd better look for a new place to live. Not that I dislike boats, they're just a LOT of work, we have nowhere to store one, and he doesn't use or do all of the maintenance on the ATV, side-by-side UTV, camper trailer, or 12 plus mountain and road bikes we own. So he came clean today and told me that he and his business partner went in on the boat together. And he then took The Boy up to Idaho Falls to pick it up from the dealer that was doing some maintenance on it. Oh, and here's the kicker. He bought it a month ago. I'm livid. But I do love him, and hate being without him. But I'm so mad I don't want to see him. At. All. He'll be home tomorrow, probably after he should be getting The Boy home on a school night. Now what do I do? |

Now what do I do? Amy, I am so sorry. It seems like your hubbie is not living the same marriage as you. He sure isn't living the same level of home responsibility as you. I have seen it before. I call it the "primary bread winner syndrome" meaning, I make big bucks so you get to do the rest. I said the other day that you two need to talk, I change that. He isn't going to listen and you don't' want to throw threats around you don't want to have to back up. You two need counseling STAT. I am sending you non-infected ((((((((((((((GGGGGGGGGGGGGGHOULIEHUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))

My response sounds a liitle harsh. Sorry for that. Though, I really think counseling would be the best for the long term I hope you two talk when he gets home today. Really talk. I am still sending Ghoulie Hugs. |

Champion 16743 Somewhere I can be nekidd | Subject: RE: GHOULIES moving towards the islands. Good morning Ghoulies! WHAT A WEEKEND! Saturday - Ended up spending most of the day at the soccer fields watching my nieces and a nephew. I did run to the ATM between games to get money for the baseball game Saturday night. Pulled out $40 which I promptly lost somewhere. Had to stop on the way home and get more money. Had a good time at the game. Caleb threw out one of the ceremonial first pitches. He was so nervous. He did good though. Sunday Keri had 2 softball games in the afternoon. They won the first, lost the second. Keri played well in both games though. She had several hits, threw a few runners out, and did a pretty good job holding runners on base so they couldn't run.

Champion 16743 Somewhere I can be nekidd | Subject: RE: GHOULIES moving towards the islands. Now for the WTF part of the weekend. I have an aunt, my mother's sister (my mom is 1 of 7 kids, she has 3 brothers, 3 sisters) she is a horrible, wretched, self-centered, greedy, dishonest, hypochondriac of a woman. She does nothing but complain about her health issues. She has to go down into MD to see doctors because no local doctors will see her anymore. She, and her husband, have sued people 7 times that we are aware of. She, and her husband, built an addition on to their house and went around telling people they were going to pay off the loan with the money they would get from this one lawsuit. Fortunatly they did not win that suit. Saturday morning at soccer my MIL asked me how my aunt was doing. I said "I don't know". She said well XXX is your aunt, right? I said yes. She said well she's in the hospital, her heart stopped twice last night. I said I hadn't heard anything, and I really didn't care. (I know that's mean, but I really DON'T care). I sent my mom a text about it, and didn't think about it anymore. Later on a soccer a friend of mine starts texting me, she's at an away soccer game. We were going back and forth for awhile, and eventually we end up that she's dropping her son, Caleb's best friend, off at my house on the way home from soccer. I offered to get him a ticket and take him to the game so he could hang out with Caleb. Before Caleb's friend gets there I talk to my mom, and she told me - what she heard was my aunt was at the fire hall, she left, sometime later someone else left and they found my aunt face down in the parking lot in cardiac arrest. She was flown to the hospital, they did emergency bypass on 1 artery. They didn't close the incision because there were 2 other blockages and they may go back in if it is determined that she was going to make it. But my mom got that from bits and pieces from other family members, no one really knew. My friend drops her son off, we talk, she leaves. A short time later she sends me a text and I call her. She told me right after she dropped her son off her phone dinged that she had an email. She checked the email and it was from the school superintendent. He sent out an email to the school board, my aunt and friend are both members, that my aunt had passed away. I had just gotten off of the phone with my mom and she was not aware of this. My parents were going to the game Saturday night, too, so I didn't want to tell my mom. My friend thought I should so I called her back. I told my mom, and she said ok, she'd see me at the game. I called my sister, mom had called the friends they were going to the game with, and they all started scouring facebook because apparently my aunt's daughter was putting updates on facebook (none of us are fb friends with other family members, no none in the family really gets along). No one can find anything. Everyone goes to the game, has a good time. When my mom gets home she has voicemails from a sister of hers, and a nephew. They both wanted to know if she knew what was going on. She called them, told them what I told her. As of yesterday my mom, and one of her other sisters still haven't heard anything about what is going on with their older sister. My mom's family is FUBR. My grandmother was a more horrible wretched woman than my aunt. She had 7 kids to I think 6 different men. My one aunt, isn't even sure who her dad is. My mom barely knew her dad. We no longer go to the few family functions they have because everyone stays in their own little family groups, it's more stressful than enjoyable. When I broke both arms a few back I never heard anything from that side of the family. No card. No phone call. Nothing. That's when I said enough is enough. I kind of feel bad for all of them, but I don't need that kind of negativity in my life, so I stay as far away from it as I can. |
