We were doing our quarterly financial discussion yesterday.  I reminded DH86 that when he passes,  I will no longer be able to subsidize SD62's shelter expense since it's coming from his Social Security which will stop.  I often tell him this, hoping he will discuss with her so she can begin to plan.  He doesn't usually respond.

So I am home working , yup gotta work on Good Friday. All the kids are home ( driving me nuts) and DD 1 is sick with hand/foot mouth disease so she is misresable . The baby is been screaming at night for about 3 night ( most likely due the her mouth hurting ) she is extremely clinging and on top of that we are trying to keep the other kiddos away so they don't catch it . We think the baby caught it from another baby she was around last weekend because our daughter doesn't go to daycare and she was fine before and got sick about a few days after being around this other baby.

It's an SS13 week -- more than half over, thank goodness. He's never been the most pleasant kid, but now we have teen attitude. He ignores my existence, so none of it is aimed at me, but it drives DH crazy.

Anyway, SS has gotten into a pattern of making himself scrambled eggs every morning before catching the bus. Fine. Good that he's learned to make something for himself.

I have nothing to do with bm , mutual hatred.

Today I've been to see a consultant, awaiting not so great tests,  and ordered dd a food delivery for our return home.

Dh failed to clarify with ss whether he will be staying or not, assumed not.

Myself and dd arrived home and awaited her food delivery. So a car pulls up and I dutifully went to door/outside. To come face to face with ss and bm. Felt surprised, awkward, upset , she obviously felt the same!

Etc etc.
