Fridge is amazingly sparkley clean, cleaned bottom oven, next I will move on to the air purifier and the water purifier.....right after I go to HD to get a metal blade for the roto-zip, if I can't get that mailbox post cut I'll have to go stand by the road on one leg with one arm extended pretending to be a mailbox lol.

Chapter 3. So anyhow..DH really is an amazing man, I can't even tell you how much I love that man. I had just sold my business when I met DH and I was feeling lost. I had a little PUB that wasn't big, but big enough to support myself and my 2 sons. The hours were killer, and I swore that when my youngest graduated High School I would sell it and move somewhere peaceful, buy myself a little cottage and FINALLY have a life. Well my son did graduate, I put the PUB up for sale, thinking it'll take a couple of years on the market, I'll be darned if it didn't sell in a week! Here I was thinking that I had all this time to plan my next move I felt like Jello that hadn't set yet. So the dog is out walking me, and he's in his driveway just laughing at me...that's all she wrote, plans down the tubes, I was hooked. I had some time on my hands and started giving him a hand with the kids, there was no way you couldn't feel bad for this guy, and he really really needed help. SS2 was easy, he has an easy nature, and a big heart for a little guy. This was a kid that swore at EVERYBODY and was literally climbing the walls, within a year he learned the difference between what is, and what is not acceptable language for a 6yr old and.....given a little attention calmed right down. SS1 was actually SO jealous that he would stand in front of DH to keep him from looking at SS2...so you can only imagine how well I went over. I don't know what's wrong with SS1, I know he has an awful lot of problems, one being that if he could have crawled up his Dad's butt he would have. He just wanted to be the center of his Dad's universe. He did just about anything and everything to keep attention on himself, some good, most bad. Lot's of craziness from the ex, but I want to stay on track here. SS1 decided that he HATED us both and went to go live with BM, I personally was pretty happy about it, but kept my mouth shut. Fast forward another year, we get married, pool our funds and buy a little house on the water.....ahhhh bliss. As a SM my stance is that 'I am just the support team', I love the little guy but I am not his mother or his parent. I would always help, but DH understood that this was HIS responsibility. I've always expected respect and I've always gotten it. SS2 and I developed a healthy relationship and hung out together because we enjoyed each other's company.

Can I have the theme from Jaws please..............SS1 moves back in, and life just took on a heavy feeling. Having someone that gets up in the morning and the first thing he does is hit SS2, yell complain and demand. SS1 just needed so much and all of the time, it didn't matter what you gave him, it wasn't good enough. It was hell to go anywhere with him in the car he would kick the back of the seat, hit his brother, blame it on his brother, scream, broke both the door handles in the back seat, would just be as obnoxious and awful. Soon I began to refuse to go anywhere in the car with SS1. Home was almost as bad. It would take volumes to address it. DH (although he won't admit it) began working long hours in order to get away from it. I became depressed, lonely and stuck with SS1's abuse on a daily basis. SS2 began to regress....

This is way to sad.....I need to clean the air purifier
