Yay house not burning down!

Checked out a possible co-working space today and was there for a few hours. If/when I'm not traveling anymore it might be worth it--$175 a month to have a place to go any/every day? That is not a coffee shop (and therefore I can bring my own food OR go buy some) AND that allows dogs, so some people bring them in??

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

so mac has decided on day 4 of no electronics (because he is failing a class), that he is DONE with it/me. he was humanish Sat, human Sun, humanish yesterday (even with Dr visit with shots), ok this morning, grumpy this afternoon when picked up to mopey when I left for yoga and apparently the whole time I was at yoga he did something to work himself up to mumbling mad (also he did not eat which of course makes the mood worse).

This is when I am not comfortable in my home. he is just on the other side of some doors mumbling so I can hear that he is there, he has brought the dog into my room to let me know without saying anything he is NOT taking care of anything/being responsible for anything/being a part of this family/house. And the whole thing could shift either way, he could tire out from all the anger energy and actually just got to bed OR he could continue to work himself up and decide he REALLY wants to get me mad to see all that anger energy on someone else/have an excuse to fully blow up. He might start hitting the walls/door, he might make a big show of leaving the house, he might get up in my face because I react/or don't react/exist.

Got a marriage proposal from hottest and most age appropriate life guard at the pool for my cookies."Just enjoy the benefits, no strings attached, no complicated life shit." He laughed " Best refusal ever. Now I'm going to go eat cookies." But I'm still on his shortlist:) Wait until he gets the chocolate espresso bourbon cookies....

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'll cheat with him by us both swimming at the city pool in the summer, that's as complex as I'll let my Y relationships get! No matter how pretty or a good pacer he is.

...though I'm also looking out for roommate situations for one of the instructors who unloaded on me about her housing issues before TG. Yeah, I'm a fixer.

Our wings are not tired.

I like sarameg's day more than msbelle's. Wish I could say there wasn't fists through walls and broken stuff in my history of raising boys. Sucks mightily. DH is still convinced that my rule against throwing them against the wall wasn't a good one. So, quite a lot of gray hair, but we lived through it. They are still grumpy and moody too frequently, but not nearly as obnoxious as they were at Mac's age.

Kids, man.

I just ran through Intercontinental to catch my connecting flight. I hope my checked bag makes it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh Rebecca, that sucks. And it sucks even more that you already know how this goes.
