My 18 year old man child...
He blew a tire last month. Hes been immobile for a while and FINALLY got into the shop and activated the insurance and got it replaced. Only they noted he now had a cracked rim. Probably from blowing the tire and pulling over. OR the rim caused the cracked tire ( more likely but deny deny deny, or they dont honor the warrenty) So this child. Got his new tire. He KNEW his rim was cracked. He was TOLD if he drove it a lot it could blow...
So what does this paragon of brilliance do?
He picks up a girl ( friend) and drives 200 miles away on a "joy ride" I mean its his car so its not like he stole it.
And what happens next... He blows a tire. BLOWS it so bad...
T has to get up at 1 am. Drive 200 miles one way. Try to air up the tire. But its exploded. So they swap it for B's spare.. Thank GOD it fit. Then they have to limp back home because they cant drive fast. They roll in right before I went to work.
And now, his warrenty is void. So he paid extra for it again. And nope. He knew. They arent replacing it. now he needs a new tire ( and those were stupid expensive) and rim... the rims arent even for his model and are discontinued so how the hell to find another one... Junk yards?
He dosent have a JOB.
And then Ch... My brilliant AuHDer... Decided his new ADHD meds were not working "fast enough" so got stoned... At school. And got caught. Because his brain wouldent shut up... so has been suspended for 5 days. Have you ever been stuck with an extremely social AuHDer who is crawling out of his skin because he has no phone, no laptop, no friends.. Just his work from home dad....
It got so bad I told T to let him use his damn computer this weekend. 7 days without and IM crawling. He had a melt down because i didnt have work for him to do at my job. I broke... He dosent have his phone. But hes playing a game at least and keeps coming out every half hour to talk to the parrot and make jokes...
Little girl is in Matilda at school. Shes an extra ( her choice) Shes "parents and kids" lol. 4 days a week practice for 1 hour. Im picking her up. Shes having fun but it means I have to leave work ON TIME and not when im wrapped up lol. Pros and cons?
Lets see. B is working and doing well. Did I mention he got another tarantula? probably not. He has two, one purple and pink, one pink and aqua. Pretty cool. Hes starting to hang out with a girl, shes 20, so just a bit younger then him. Which is good shes age appropriate.
L is doing fine. That 14 yo is now 6 ft 2 and over 320 lbs. My boy is a BEAST. Hes HUGE. My youngest boy...
Next year ill have a 6th grader, a sophomore and a senior. And the older two are done.. I cant believe Ch is just a year from graduating.... That is scary.
T and I are doing ok. Well pretty good post freak out. Im still really tired. Like im not bouncing back. I guess being in your 40s and having panic attacks takes more out of you then when you were younger...Or its just a really busy week at work... Both? Probably both.
T got a 4th 3d printer recently. One of the ogs is dying so he preemptively got a new one. We are ALMOST caught up on Black Friday and Christmas sales... Its taken THIS long to get mostly caught up. We are about 15 days out and only 18 orders to go, but we get a new one almost every day. At the start of the month we had 40-45. And kept getting multiples per day. Its slow down now and we are catching up.
Fuck im tired. It was a long day.
I had like 6 incidences to deal with client issues, 3 hours of meetings with interns. I forgot to email our psychologists paystub. I send his manually because he dosent "get" our payroll software. I said Ill have to send it on Monday. He emailed me after I left for the day.
I want to craft, and I want to read. I just dont have energy. Maybe ill go doom scroll on tiktok and take a shower. Im glad its a weekend but my bird dosent believe in sleeping in and wakes up at 7 am. Last weekend, part of the fight stuff, I had gotten up with the bird after we fought, And I was laying on the couch with her, so she could play in my hair and cuddle and NOT be noisy. So T could sleep. He got up and started making a ruckus with his printers. And I was so damn mad that he couldent at least be kind enough to let ME rest. Its not like the printers HAD to be changed RIGHT at that time. He just was thoughtless and it made me really upset, considering our previous days fight. It was compounded and escalated SO far. In any event. I think im just a bit wiped out. Maybe tomorrow Ill do something other then clean house and food shopping. Buuuuut probably not lol.
