DH finally got home from his business trip last night. It was late, and he was tired, but I asked him how the drive out to Frank's house went. He didn't really want to talk about it, and I was more curious than actually interested, so I dropped it.

This morning, as we were getting ready for work, he started talking about it. He said that there was lots of silence at first, but then ASS started talking about how he was going to find a job, make 10K before he had to leave Frank's house and blah blah blah. DH waited for break in the action and they started discussing whether or not ASS's financial expectations were realistic (um, nope) and what he was going to do when he had to leave Frank's.

ASS said, "what would you think if I tracked down Mom?" DH told him exactly what he thought about that idea - lol! ASS said, and this totally surprised DH (and me when it was relayed to me) that "it wouldn't be good for BabyVoice and Karate Kid, because they don't need the drama." :jawdrop:

DH told me that he has been texting with ASS about looking for a job, inquiring about where he has or might apply, but that ASS's responses were his usual immature and very juvenile normal response. I asked for a little clarification, and he said that when he asked if ASS went out looking for a job, he responded with "job? what's a job?" and when he asked if he was all settled in at Frank's house, he responded with, "Frank, who is Frank?" The maturity level of this kid is about age 12 or 13.

In other news, I have decided that I don't really love any of the sample colors I put on the walls of my office, so it's back to the paint store for me. I am picking up a cool daybed this weekend, and am still looking for a new desk and a bookcase.

Carry on
