He came home last night. He wouldn't talk to anybody, except to say that he's only home because he wants the money he needs for school.

Hubby was so disappointed that he couldn't talk to him - he says he needs to wait a day to sit down and tell him how things are going to be.

Myself? I was raging mad. I told hubby to grow some nerve (used another word instead ) and talk to his son. That if he is only here for money, and NOT to be part of the family he can just leave. He's 21. He can get himself a loan. Why does he need to have his hand in our bank account? Hubby was shocked when our youngest daughter agreed with me. She didn't even hear what I had to say, she told hubby what her impressions were and they were word-for-word what I said.

Sooo... he went to bed last night without any reprimand. I woke him up at 8:30 and told him he had ONE job to do today. The bathroom. But seriously, is that job fair for me to give him? You see, we're having our bathroom ripped out next Monday and a new one put in. The bathroom right now is a disgusting mess. Mold everywhere. I told him I want him to take everything out of all the cabinets and leave nothing but soap and shampoo i the bathroom. I told him to scrub in every recess and corner so that when the guys come that we're not embarassed at lost dust bunnies. I told him it'll be a hard job and he has til 11:00 to get it done because I'll need a shower for work. All he did the whole time was say "yup. ah-huh." He wasn't listening. I told him he can't go for a run til its done (thats insuring he DOES the job because he knows I won't let him leave the house for a run.)

I just checked up on him. He's royally cranky, to put it politely and told me I don't have to check up on him a hundred times (that was the first check.) I told him that he has no choice, that if he's here just for money then I'm the manager of his new job and he's got to earn his money. Technically, cleaning this bathroom is earning quite a staggering hourly rate. This project will probably end up costing me $200

*sigh* No wonder I've been in a fog the past few days. I made a bunch of stupid ---STUPID!--- mistakes at work. Thank goodness my manager checks paperwork and caught one mistake and another was a personal friend who was supposed to get her furniture yesterday - I wrote down her cell number wrong Anyone else other than my friend would have been screaming and threatening to cancel their furniture. All my mistakes were simple "not paying attention" mistakes. I have an understandable excuse (I hate excuses) right now but I'm going to work hard to focus myself so these stupid mistakes don't keep occurring... thank goodness I have not made any little mistakes like this before, so they'll be readily forgiven by my bosses.
