I finally put my bedding in the washer. One day I'll wash myself.

Let's hope. 

[Knee Deep in Water Chloe]

I slept an hour later than I meant to this morning. 
DH decided we're golfing with DS#2 and his new girlfriend. 
We've met her a handful of times now. 
Can I start having actual conversations with her? I don't know if she's shy, if I'm annoying her, or if she actually doesn't want to talk. 
I had a couple of years of unintentionally annoying DS#1's now wife, so maybe I'm being too careful? 

The remainder of my day will be to do a final run through on the draft of my last dissertation chapter and send it off to my advisor.

I finished the kloster blocks on a hardanger doily I am trying to finish.

Everything lines up.

This is like buying a puzzle from a thrift shop, finding all the edge pieces, and getting them together.

Success!

I appreciate the link as that was quite a bit of gibberish to me.

And you don't think all this stuff would get him committed? If that isn't crazy or something off, I don't know what normal is. I would not put up with that at all and my hubs would not either. Not even from his own father. Damn, that's crazy sh** if I ever heard it.

I am TIRED. I finally got outside and worked in the yard. DIL helped for a bit. Guess where little guy is again, LOL! He wanted to come back to grandma's. We decided not to go out to dinner tonight but will tomorrow evening, non of us was in the mood.

Little guy and DD had a ham sandwich with ham, 2 slices of cheese, 2 slices of bread and filled them up. But now grandson just had a yogurt and another sandwich like that. I think he is starting a growth spurt.

We have a chain link fence and a wood fence behind it, you can't weedeat the weeds from behind it so I had to cut with shears and pull it out. A lot is dead but still looks awful, so I got 3/4's of it cut and cleaned. I hope to finish it tomorrow, going to get little guy out to help me. He needs to be away from the TV and phone that he wants to be on all the time. That is a battle.

DIL is telling me she is going to Russia next summer and leaving little guy with us for 3 months. She is worrying about the dogs, I said we will keep Basil but not sure about Yoshi. She is one of those shiba inu's and I'm not sure how she would do in the country down there. Hubs said she will be ok, but she thinks her sister can take care of her. At least she has now taken up with hubs and I. She wants to sit on our laps now which she never did before. I doubt if son wants her to go, but at least he may not say as much if she leaves little guy here. She may get there and get herself in a real mess. But again, I can't get involed in that either.

She is all depressed, I asked if she quit taking her meds, she said yes, she said they messed her all up. I said there are other kinds, she informed me she didn't want to hear about it anymore. She is getting back like she was before, so sad. Her only interest seems to be spending money and now son has cut back she is not happy.

She started taking about how son won't do this and that. I told her I was sorry, but I was not getting involved in marital problems. I can't change son, I have my own problems with his dad. I'm guessing he is tired of hearing, I want. She said he doesn't want her to go to work, I'm thinking it's more like who will care for little guy when he is gone for a week here and a couple of weeks there. Honestly, I can't see her keeping a job more than a few days, she just can't get along with people and is getting back to this person is a bitch and that person is. I wish I could say to her, you are the only one that can make you happy, spending money isn't going to do it. The poor girl wants to eat out every weekend, go shopping about every day and spend, spend, spend. I can't afford it all the time either. I feel sorry for her to be so unhappy. I can see her trying to leave, she has no idea what it is like to not have enough money to spend. I wonder if she thinks my world is ideal with hubs there and me here. I could try talking to son, but what do I say? No, I'm not getting involved in their problems cause somehow I could likely end up the bad guy. I will help where I can and help with grandson too and do the best I can, don't know what else to do.

I won't say it but she doesn't realize the duloxetine I take is really Cymbalta which is used to treat depression. Treating neuropathy is just one of the off label uses , but I'm sure it helps me too.

Your son has a huge part of this.  If she wants to work, even if it’s just a minimum wage job, for God’s sake let her!  She sounds bored out of her skull, and the sort of person who needs interaction with people.  Since she has never worked while married, her work interactions might be much different.  Spending is her way of getting attention from your son.  
There is absolutely no reason why she cannot work while her son is in school.  

It surprises me but probably shouldn't that everything Country judges her DIL for is exactly the same stuff that has made her depressed in her marriage to her husband.

This isn't 1950 where DIL should be expected to suck it up because it's what her husband wants.

He needs to get over it and work out a compromise. She's lonely, bored and depressed. There is no reason she shouldn't be allowed to work except his notion of what a wife should be.

Nowadays there are a lot of freelance and WFH options she can do that won't take her away from her wifely duties, especially when her kid is in school.

And back off on medication especially with as much as you complain. Not everyone can handle certain medications and many antidepressants and anxiety medications can come with nasty side effects.

A LOT of her depression would probably be fixed if your son actually paid attention to her and worked with her to find a way for her to have her own life.

You can't drug your way into being a happy housewife if that's not what you are.

Resting a bit after a long run and cleaning up. Watching Stage 9 of the Tour de France and getting my fluids.

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

Need to brag. For $15 I found a 10 piece ceramic 1991 Charles Dickens themed 10 piece village at the Salvation Army.

I'm always ogling those villages at Christmas stores but dang they can be expensive. I've never been able to justify the cost.

Now I finally have one! It has the Crachit house, Scrooge house and lending business.

It's really cool and not a single piece damaged.

It was either never opened or it was well loved and appreciated. I am happy to give it a new home.

DH less so.😉 I'm thinking he's worried I may make him sleep in the backyard so I have room for my Christmas display.

Still not at 450 individual trees like a couple on Facebook. That's the bar I use to argue I don't have a problem.

I found out earlier this week that Hand, Foot, Mouth disease was going around D2’s daycare. On Friday, DD2 was the only one in her class. Guess who has it now???

She also has a cold too so she’s has a rash on parts of her body (back of knees, over some of her knuckles on her hands, 1 of her elbow creases, and bumps on part of here-and-there on her legs), a cough and a runny nose. Overall, she could be better but much worse temperament too.

Oh no. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Today, she seems happier and more like herself. The rash has definitely became more than it was yesterday.

Hope she recovers quickly and doesn't share.

I was in Toronto when the Toddler had it.  Despite all of the handwashing and disinfecting, he shared it with all 3 adults.  

When she got it last year, it didn’t spread to the rest of us. Hopefully it doesn’t this time. 🤞

What I would like to find is something like one article proclaimed. A person found a 44 piece of Denby dinnerware for $220 which is amazing. I'd also like to find some Corelle and old Pyrex saucepans at a thrift store.

Managed to get today's necessary laundry done before the rain. Need to turn over Moon Shadow's cage, empty the dishwasher, etc. Cloudy and humid outside which is better than expected.

Rained around us yesterday, I wonder if we will have that happen for at least part of the day.

Sitting around with Kiddo and my sibling's dog.  Being lazy and looking up jam recipes.  I made peach freezer jam yesterday and it is quite tasty.  But, I don't have the time or energy to become a jam maker.

My sibling came over yesterday evening.  DH had to work this morning and took my sibling to the airport.  1 week work conference - sibling returning on Friday.  We are taking care of Dog until then.  Kiddo loves Dog.  He's a good dog and he is well trained.  Sometimes it is just hard having him around though because we are pet-less since our furbabies died last year.  

Temps are cooler today but it is because of cloud cover and rain.  Light rain on and off since I got up this morning.  A little thunder rumbling in the distance.  No way to do gardening or yard work with the rain.  About to get started on the laundry and other assorted Sunday chores to prepare for the week.  I do have a sewing project I need to work on this week.  A bag tag for Dog's bag.  Sibling currently has a piece of paper stapled on there.  I attempted to start that project last year, but I didn't have the right color embroidery thread.  I picked some up last month with the entire purpose of working on it this week.

Try antique stores or someplace that deals with estate commissions.

These places can't give glassware away.

I saw a shit ton of Fiesta ware at a local antique store. I'm considering going back to check the price.



My whole collection rarely comes out at once last year was an exception for obvious reasons. I rotate most of it to keep things interesting.

The exception is the nativity which always goes up.

Then now two trees. It's nice because I can display ones on the sun room tree I normally can't because of stupid dogs.

DH ended up enjoying the second tree it brought some novelty to sitting at his desk all day.

I spent entirely too long trying to figure out how I was supposed to do a stitch. In the end I didn't like how my thread laid.

I know I'm supposed to care how my back looks, but, no one is going to come over to my house, pick up a doily, and then try to decide if my back looks *exactly* like my front.

I do believe life is too short for that nonsense.

(Now, if I was entering a piece for the state fair, that's something else.)

I have a quilting person I watch tutorials on YouTube.  For quilting, you have to press your seams on the back to get everything to lay flat.  She said, it doesn't matter which way or how you press them, just get it flat.  She then proceeded to say, none of your friends care which way you press your seams.  And if one of your friends looks at the back and complains about how you pressed your seams then they aren't your friend anyways!  She's not wrong 

My hand stitching is less than stellar.  I can get stitches done, but, yeah, nobody better be dumb enough to look at the back!  If it looks right on the front and doesn't unravel it counts as a win.

I see the money issues with countrygirl2 's DIL slightly differently, based on observations from this board, and having lived in a university community with lots of people from other countries and lots of students.  

I think it was cawiau who once mentioned that when people from other countries move to the US, they see a whole array of stuff from nice clothes to fancy houses and cars that they could never get in their native country.  And it's all so shiny and new, and they see people originally from their native country who are buying that shiny new stuff here. So they see it as obtainable, and feel deprived if they don't get it.  Saving money is not on the radar because there was never any money to save back home.  And here it's easy to obtain CCs, car loans, mortgages, etc., so they want it all.  

Same with students.  They come to the big campus, mix in with students whose families are better off than their own families, and no one is telling them they can't do certain things like when they lived with their parents.  And then during orientation they walk by a booth hawking credit cards, they fill out an application and get the free t-shirt or two-liter bottle of Coke, and they've got the means to spend and do things they never did before.  

Credit cards get maxed, so they obtain new cards, and soon it escalates into taking out cash advances on the newest card to make minimum payments on the maxed cards.  Didn't we all know people who thought they could afford something if they could buy it without exceeding the credit limit? 

So with the DIL, she sees all this and doesn't fully understand her DH's desire to pay down the mortgage. 

DIL has some problems interacting with other people she doesn't know, or does not know well  She may think she wants a job, but her DH knows her vulnerabilities and frustrations and can see that working for pay is not a good idea. I see how f'ing rude the public can be to people at pharmacy and food counters,  check-outs, front desks, etc.  Those are not jobs for people like DIL.  If she's good at crafts and enjoys them, maybe she should join a MeetUp group or two that get together and do crafts.  Stitch-and-bitch type MeetUps are good. Get together socially at parks/playgrounds, for picnics, or for coffee with other women who have children the same age as her child.  International women's groups, even informal, would be good. Heck, even bunco is good!

I disagree that her husband is intent on not paying attention to her, keeping her home, or not wanting her to have her own life.  Happy wife, happy life...right?  No one wants to be married to a spouse who is miserable.  The key is to find things to do that make her happy, that don't involve spending a lot of money, and don't get her into a forward-facing work situation she is not hard-wired for.  Even remote work isn't the best for someone like her.  She wants and needs to get out of the house.  

Seriously, check out the MeetUp website (meetup.org), narrow it down to your area, and see what is offered.  When I moved to a town where I knew someone, I joined several of them.  It can be hit or miss, but it is a good way to narrow down the search for people with similar interests.

Son has indulged her and bought anything and everything for her crafts and hobbies. She has a bedroom full and now says she is not in the mood to paint or anything. He has encouraged her to do what she does best. He said he would set up websites and market them for her. Like hubs said do it under a different name if she thinks she might fail so she won't feel vulnerable.

He spent $1000 for a green house for her, they got a really nice one on sale, it has windows that open and close on the top automatically, she has 2 now, one we gave her. Last week he put a floor in it for her she wanted. She does like to work in it and he has also bought above ground planters for her too but it never ends. She bought sewing machines she wanted and I don't think she has used them. I bought her one for Christmas one year too. Once she gets the things she wants she is off to something else. I hope she is going to come over and let me help her learn to sew. We ordered a pattern she wanted, its very easy so its a good one to begin with. And she is small so sewing for her is easier, I don't think a lot of fitting and adjustments.

She hated Korea, but once she got here Korea was wonderful. We helped pay for the house in NY, it had been completely redone on an acre, a beautiful, very nice home. She wanted it and then complained it was too big. She wouldn't rest till son moved out here so she could be closer to her sister. Now she is here I hear how the house is a and its to little. I told her organize your things and then it will seem bigger, it was so pretty when they moved in. She didn't like the countertop, it had been refinished and she started scrapping it off instead of waiting to see when they could replace the cabinets, now it looks awful. I offered to help refinish them all until they can do what they want with it.

She had told son she didn't want a big house, its about 1800 sq ft. She has taken english classes when in Indiana, they were not good enough so she quit. Took them in NY, not sure the issue there. Has taken them twice here. She had boob implants in Korea and they caused her all kinds of health issues, she admitted worst mistake she ever made. Son spent $10,000 out of pocket having them removed. I know the 6 months she was here with us while he was getting things moved back, I overheard him on the phone more than once saying Honey, you are spending more than I'm making. I know it sounds like I'm just holding up for him. But he buys himself nothing. I gave him a good price on my truck so he would have a decent vehicle to drive. It was ok with hubs. He knows he will have a decent pension or should, but he is wondering about SS. And he sees what it costs us to have a nice life in retirement, plus he still has grandsons education to pay for. And like he said its just a few years away from needing cars, so he is also forward looking. Believe me he has spent money for anything and everything she wants to do. For awhile she was gunho on getting a dental hygenist certificate. All she saw was dollar signs and we started talking about what she had to deal with doing it and she changed her mind. She wanted to spend $70,000 to get it! She has no idea what she wants to do. Son told her work at McD's for a bit to just get a feel for working, but she doesn't want to do that. She wants to walk into a good office job with no experience, and honestly no idea that every job can be frustrating.

I'm not putting her down, she just has no idea what she wants to do, just isn't happy doing what she is doing, so I don't know.

But I think he is getting tired, he never complains, but her wants are endless. Now she wants to travel because her friends are traveling, of course most of them have no kids or they are grown.

I see both sides, he travels all the time for work and wants to be home, she is home and wants to go. I have been there and done that. Also he is 10 years older than her.

It's still something they have to work out. I just listen 95% of the time, once in awhile I say something and should not. I just hate to see people unhappy. My husband sure never indulged me like that so I do think he is trying, but also think he is tired of seeing his earnings wasted.

I told him sit down with her and explain how much he makes and where its going, she said he has, I thought that would help.

I just don't want to see them divorced and sure hope it won't come to that. Noone is perfect and I know my son isn't nor am I but I sure try.

Ok, grandson and I are going out to pull weeds. I told him this week we are making chocolate chip cookies, he is all excited. So good idea Soup.

It's not sunny out. Perfect day to mow the 5 billion square foot yard. Did I think about the 100° humidity or however high it is? Of course I didn't. I'm melting and I'm only a quarter of the way through. The goddamm groundhog in the shed giving me a heart attack didn't help either. Asshole was hiding under the lawnmower. I need to finish and drown myself in the blow up bathtub.

My Grandmomma is just gon have to reach down and slap the shit outta me because I’m bout to cuss this man clean the fuck out. The whole fucking house is in an uproar because of him and he’s still picking at Mister and being a smart ass. I’ve said something once, if I have to say something again, it’s gon be with a bunch of cussing. And I mean that.

That was me earlier. I was leaving the house and there were several large flying insects flying around. One of them buzzed me and I got to practice my karate moves. Then once I got outside my gate, there was a cat there that I didn't see. I just saw a grey blur dart out in front of me. I was so frazzled by the time I got to my car.
