I woke up this morning with this thought running through my mind....
When did i become a fireman/policeman/banker/cook/baker/candlestick maker for everyone else?
When did being responsible and paying your bills, and taking care of your home, and obeying the law, and not being a general shitbum, go out of style?
It continues to mystify me and cause me uknown amounts of grief and angst that i believe in these ideals, and am ridiculed and chastised for them. I am labelled as cold hearted, heartless, mean, unforgiving, selfish, elitist. WTF

I am terribly sorry that it has been almost 9 months since my last post. Things got busy, I got married, kids are still driving me fucking crazy, and on top of it all.....I work for one of the big firms involved in the whole financial meltdown.
Now fortunately, i don't work on the financial side of things, I am on the support side of the house. Essentially, I am an in-house consultant for loss prevention activities. But suffice it to say, we all have to endure the same shit and public opinion barrages that the entire company goes through. So, it has been a bit hectic and I haven't felt like posting. I also found myself using this forum to let loose my frustrations and the venom I feel about my "now" stepdaughter and her irresponsible behavior and lack of intelligence when it comes to making life choices.
OK...in a nutshell and without all the drama and cursing that I usually save for my wife, here has what has happened with the stepdaughter since August
1 Broke up with the stalker, called the police, has a restraining order posted against him.
2 Got a job and worked through the Christmas season. While it did help financially, emotionally it caused lost of problems for L and I since we had to be responsible for the Lil' bastard.
3. Baby's daddy got out of the Pen and began to try and make amends for being a general dickhead and scumbag.
4. Baby's daddy hasn't changed a bit and is still a controlling asshole, a drug addict, alcoholic, drug dealer and generally a worthless piece of flesh.
5 Stepdaughter and Baby's daddy have split the sheets and are not together anymore. Much to my displeasure, this means she lives with us for the foreseeable future, rather than moving out. DAMMIT.
6. Stepdaughter finally is back on her meds and seems to finally understand the simple concept of keeping her mouth shut, not calling dickhead, and stirring the pot, and moving forward to get her on head out of her ass and start building a life for her and Lil bastard.
OK.. in the mean time, through all that, L and I have had to try and plan a wedding, blend two families, pay bills, find her a new job, cause the Nigerian assholes that she works for are screwing her over royally, and just generally keep the wheels from falling completely off the wagon.
Speaking of the Nigerians.....INS has already been called once and will be called again very soon.
SO to get back to the theme of this post......today, we had to spend about $300 to fix L's van. Seems like we can not go one week and sometimes even one day without some surprise expense or steaming pile of shit that we have to deal with.
WELCOME TO MY WORLD.Hopefully, i will be more regular about posting.. comments are always welcome.
