Blah! Sunday!
Well, blogger.com is down, so I can't post anything.
So I'm writing this in my text editor. It's probably better this way, as it does syntax highlighting, so I know if my "s are balanced and what not.
Garfield and I had a fight today. He's been an absolute asshole to everybody in the house. He claims he hasn't, but my experience is that he has been. I told him I wanted him out of the house, which as far as I was concerned meant, get the hell out of my face. He thought I meant like out, permanently. I also told him that he was acting just like his brother Sparx. He claimed I was too. I do nothing but bitch. That's a quote. I've already had these arguments with his brother. He really doesn't want to see what happens if I really do nothing.
That fact of the matter is that things between his mother and myself are exactly that, between the two of us. They are not any of his business. He sticks his nose into plenty of stuff that he has no business getting into. I know Deb has told him so, repeatedly. Talking to him at times is like talking to a brick wall. He bosses the little ones around, despite the fact that The_Rose and I have repeatedly told him not to. He's decided that he can be a better or more attentive parent than what we seem to be.
Monday
I found out that he went crying to Deb yesterday, and she hung up on him. We've been getting along better since the fight. He still didn't get his chores done like he was asked. I had to get the garbage out to the street myself this morning despite having been told to do it last night. It didn't get out last Thursday, so it had to get out today.1 My mood is better, but I'm sure it could get ugly with the right amount of pressure.

1 Here in Florida, trash is picked up twice a week. In my case, it's Monday and Thursday mornings. Recycling is Monday morning only. Yard waste pickup is Wednesday morning. My tax dollars at work.
