The grandchild goes back to the Left coast this weekend so while I anticipate the return to normalcy, I must also prepare for the spousal unit going into a depression. While I've been there before I still do not enjoy having to survive another go round. I guess it has to do with the difference between women and men, moms and dads, irrational and rational. From my standpoint I will no longer have to provide clothing, food, entertainment, transportation, etc. to someone else's responsibility. I will have my days off back to myself to do what ever I please. Sounds selfish, maybe, but at my age I'm allowed to have some "me time".
We took said child out to eat last evening with the parent and significant other and something became very evident. The parent ONLY wants to have said child in their care when they have someone else there to help. It was also very evident that this same parent was putting on a show for the significant other. I say this because I have heard them say that their child "was so annoying". This did not happen in the presence of this other person and did not manifest itself last night. Another observation was that the tick is basically an idiot. They have the reading/comprehension level of a third grade child. Hopefully the grandchild got the intelligence of the other parent because the one on this side of the fence could not pour piss out of a boot with the directions on the heel.
On the way home last evening, the spouse said that we should figure out how much longer we are going to be here (in this house). This was followed with the statement that if we were to be here very long we should have a "radiant barrier" applied to the attic of the house. This would allegedly lower our electric bill during the hot summer months. On the face, this sounds logical. The little voice in the back of my skull is screaming something else. It wants to know what we are going to do with the tick and the money we are pouring into them? That would save us several thousand dollars a year alone but that never seems to come to the spouses mind. It always is up to me to cut my spending so as to make the budget work. Regarding this, I'm more than a little tired of giving until I bleed from my eyes so a parasite can enjoy the good life.
Today I get to finally get this mess on top of my head cut! I've been putting it off for over a month now due to my time getting hijacked. This was done so "someone" could watch someone else's child while they lived their life. Another great thing is that I get to go vent my spleen to the shrink. This guy is quite possibly the greatest thing since sliced bread when it comes to getting a handle on the stressors in my life.
Well, here goes another day. I have to go to the airport this afternoon to pickup the other parent. I guess I forgot to mention that we had to pay a large portion of the airfare just to get someone else's child back home. Think I'm not pissed about that? I'll leave you with this photo of what I wish to see and the end of each day for the rest of my life. Live long and prosper.
