Some time I have to make up
So, the last post was a few days ago. I had a work thing to attend that was out of town in Ohio, so I wasn't able to post.
What I can say is that, even though I was sick as a dog during the couple of days away, I actually enjoyed the silence and the no factor of both the kids and grand kids had on my time away. Although I did miss my wife and wanted to have her with me enjoying the silence, that wasn't possible.
I am now back and will be able to continue my posting as usual.

What a bust of a day
First day back to work was a total bust for me. I am in sales and depend on sales for my living.
I had to first go a double check work that was completed for 2 customers that weren't happy. This took 2 appointment slots. The next slot, the person no showed me, then the next appointment, my co-worker had already been to, so nothing for me there.
I get back to my work place and had to go through a total 4 of complaints, so I guess the good part is, I was able to fix issues, but didn't get paid for the day.
I had also noticed that I was possibly shorted pay and will have to talk to the girl who does payroll at the branch, to see what happened, tomorrow.
So I get home around 4:30 and my son takes his girlfriend to work, so lets see how today ends. If I need to update this post I will tonight.

Last day of vacation
Here it is the last night, before going back to work tomorrow. The wife and I had told the kids, that we wanted to get out of the house and wanted to get away, which they agreed was a god idea.
My wife gets home at about 12:30, and once again we don't get to leave the home until about 5:30. Had to watch the kids while my son was doing whatever in the basement, he did go and get his oldest lunch from McDonalds, but after lunch he took him down stairs for his nap. Again, we told them we wanted to get out of the house, but we didn't get to leave because of course, my son falls asleep down stairs with his son, when he took him down for his nap.
Now we cannot leave the little one alone, of course, so we had to wait for him to come back up stairs, which after 2 1/2 hours he finally emerged. Then we were finally able to leave the house.
Once out of the house, we found it funny that we didn't have much to actually do, because a lot of shops and stores close early on Sundays, So we went to Meijer and Menards just to be out of the house. We did stop for dinner, which was nice to sit down and eat together and talk like normal humans again.
Unfortunately, during dinner, my wife starts to not feel well. Her throat was starting to get real sore and her sinuses plugged up while eating. We left dinner and she just wanted to come home and go to bed, which when we got home, it was about 8 pm.
My son hadn't fed the oldest child yet, so when his girlfriend got off at 9, he went to get her and pick up food for them. They get home and the parent feed the oldest then disappear back down stairs, so my wife didn't get to go to bed until about 9:30 when all said was done.
I finally get a bit of quiet time after 9:30 and now I get to write this before heading to bed. Tomorrow brings another day.

Day 3 of vacation continued..
So my son finally gets up around 1pm then takes a shower, after he is done, he heads back down stairs again, not to be seen until about 2:30pm. He then comes back up stairs and asks if his older son has taken his nap yet, which I responded with a no. He then proceeds to change his diaper and takes him down stairs to take his nap. We don't see my son until about 4 or so.
When he comes up he is complaining that he has to get his pay check from his work. He works via a 1099, so he basically gets paid cash by his boss, who lives about 25 mins away. He tells us how his boss was asking him how he got so many hours and my son bitches of course about this, almost yelling at us about what his boss was doing (I have always told him to get a regular job, that way there is no real mix ups like he always has with this current job).
We decided that we needed to go to the store to do some shopping, get groceries and stuff, but of course we have to wait until his older son gets up from his nap because when he laid him down for his nap, he laid him in his bed and couldn't leave him alone out of fear of him falling off the bed. So we don't get to leave until almost 6:30 to do our shopping.
While we are at the store, for about an hour, my son calls my wife on messenger and asks when we will be home, because he needs to get his check, I had told him we were in line at Walmart and would be home soon.
Of course, we always have to change our plans to make sure he can get his stuff done, otherwise he always bitches about it. This is always the case all the time. We may have plans made, then all of a sudden he has something he HAS TO DO, so we have to change our plans to accommodate him for what he needs to do.
So here it is almost 8:30, have dinner made and my son is gone to get his check, his girlfriend is due to be off work at 9 and we are feeding his older son and ourselves, babysitting as usual.
Now my wife is upset because she has to get up earlier than usual tomorrow morning and she won't be able to go to bed when she wanted to, because we are watching the kids and have to wait for their parents to get home.
This is part of the reason why I enjoy drinking at night when the kids are down for the night. It's quiet and I can play my game (Eve Online), to help free my mind and get away from reality for awhile.

Day 3 of my 4 day weekend
I usually wake up at a reasonable time on Saturday mornings. I do just stay in bed because I know if I do, I wont have to deal with what happens in my home when my wife is working in the mornings I am off.
So this morning, I wake to the sounds of the little baby screaming and the other older child crying as well, but like I said, I stayed in bed and tried to ignore it. I also heard the shower going, so someone was in the shower.
After a bit of time, I did eventually get up, because I had to use the bathroom so bad, when I come out of my room, the girlfriend has a towel around her head as if she was just in the shower. She handed me my work phone saying that it had gotten wet from the older child puking right by it, which was right on my side of the couch where I normally sit. She then explains the smallest child was asleep when she went in to take her shower, because she had to work at noon today. I go to the bathroom real fast, then I work on settling the smallest child, to get him from crying and screaming, while she changed the older one out of his diaper and puke covered clothes.
After things seem well, I ask her if my son was home and she said he had just gone to bed not too long before I got up. I just shake my head knowing this happens all the time.
Mind you, my son knew she had to work at noon, knew my wife would be home between 11am and 12pm. He still elected to stay up all night and drink, knowing this and went to bed. I also have a thought he may have done coke again, because when he stays up all night, that is usually the reason.
Now, my son usually complains the most when he doesn't get his way, when there isn't enough food in the house when he wants some. He also is the last to offer to pay for anything with the home, including possible rent for him and his gf and kids, or help with groceries or utilities.
His gf got paid also last night, which she had to pay back her weed person, because they owed him $120, then my son tells his gf, that he needs to bother the other $80 from her and will give it back to her today, which we all know what will happen, yep, let's see if that happens.
His gf tries to do the right things, tries to save money and of course always takes care of their kids, we really dont have anything against her, other than she is with my son.

First day off from work on a 4 day weekend
So here it is, a 4 day weekend. Something we all that work cherish because we don't have to go to work.
My First day off consists of having to get p early to still get reports in from the previous day, so my boss doesn't loose his mind. So, no sleeping in the first day. Also broke, so I couldn't even drink the night before, as most people would do - because they don't have to work the next day.
The other thing really affecting my day, is my son's girlfriend is here and they have 2 kids. Both are sick and always in a state of crying to in a really bad mood. Trying to watch a movie when this is going on is super fun, let me tell ya.
So a bit of back story now on why my son's girlfriend is here with the kids. She is 26, he is 25. They have 2 kids and my son and her live with us still. A bit of further back story, my son was also involved with another relationship, which he had 3 kids. Twins and the third. Of course they had a falling out and no longer are together, matter of fact his ex got married and they are doing well, but they have the other 3 kids living with them. My son is supposed to be giving child support, but hasn't been able to because he can;t hold a stable job, thus the reason why he is still with us.
Now when he was with his ex, they had moved out and were on their own, but one things got rocky, they split and pretty much hate each other now. She always complain about the child support and complains that he doesn't spend time with them except the weekends he has custody of them for. This is all actually true, but of course his excuse for at least not calling them on the off week, is he doesn't want to get into a fight with his ex, which she has said so many times, that she wouldn't because of the kids.
