The Couch - CXII : The Tao of Couchies

Sorry, hun, but I know how teens are. I'm 18 and I hate kids my age. If I hate them, I'm sure it's ten times worse for you. We ARE brats!
I personally think you should be able to voice your anger or thought. And maybe annoyed is a better word.

Is this the oldest one who wants to move out?

And as for tyrant and embarrassment - I thought that was a given for parents at some point or other. Sorry it is rough on you.

Agreed. The Mets are no good to me except on days when Thor is pitching for my fantasy team.

Wow, they have good manners. Maybe they could do a home improvement project, under your direction, of course?

Thanks! But it wasn't a session, just a paperwork exchange (she wrote me up a receipt going back to January that I have to sign for some reason, and I filled out a form for her basically about my goals.) But I didn't end up going anyway, I got stuck on a call at work and texted her to tell her I couldn't make it til 15 minutes after the agreed upon time, and suddenly it didn't matter so much anymore seeing her today - it was weird, suddenly I felt completely freed from my recent crazy intense feelings - was already pretty much over them, but found in that moment that they're totally gone now - so I said we could just wait til my next session on the 14th and she agreed. I did of course have to make sure that we're ok (I wouldn't be me if I didn't) - because I've really been impossible lately and I know it - so I asked "We're ok, right? I promise I'm over my recent crazy intense stuff" and she said that yes, we are good. So I am settled again.

Well, no matter. It still ended up okay!

I re-read this when such things happen.

My son made this today at school in his manufacturing class. He and his friend designed it, then my son programmed the CNC machine or whatever it's called, and then he made it! I don't know what it is, but it's flipping COOL! I keep trying to steal it.

Yes, one and the same. Our house is currently occupied by her best friend (for many years now) and more recently her boyfriend (several months now) and 3 days ago a close friend from high school came to crash for a week or so (he's on the couch cuz I'm out of beds!) then yesterday the cousin of The Boy spent the night (came to hang for a couple hours!) and today she's still here accompanied by her boyfriend.

The house bursting at the seams after a stressful work day and the nonchalant "whatever" in response to their lack of communication (forget permission, just give me a heads-up) just struck me wrong.

So, yeah, two of the masses left. One more of the masses will be gone next week. Then I'm left with 2 non-blood related roommates on top of my nuclear family, and that's still too many. They don't do home improvement projects but one pays rent and the other does dishes, takes out the trash, and yard work. If they didn't contribute I'd really blow a gasket.

My Couchies get me. That's really something to be glad of. Thanks for allowing me to unload and be bratty myself.

That is awesome, I'd try to steal it myself. Looks like art, but it's probably highly functional as a whoozit in a thingamajig somewhere.

That's really amazing!! Your son is very gifted. He's an industrial artist. ??

I never thought of it that way! But yeah, I guess you could call it that. He's going into precision manufacturing/machining, currently is working on a project with his class making parts for a local company that will add $ to his scholarship.

He is very gifted and that is a blessing!!

I am not psychotic.T said he believed me when i said Iwasn't why does hhe keep asking the questions?

Anyone want to house me? I need to runaway form my life. Running away is better than not having one, right?

I have a really comfy loveseat if you're short. Sorry the couch is occupied for the next week. Come on over!

I'm only 5' even. Be there soon *closes eyes and wishes*

Sm, youre amazing! Sounds like the kids realized they were stretching things. Plus i think you can run into zoning or boarding house laws.

Hugs, Ellahmae. I'm sorry you feel so bad right now. I'd give you a place if I wasn't at my parents. I'm here for you.

Made it through the night, always do.
See T today, earlier than my normal appointment.
Then super busy tonight.
Distraction.

I'm really glad to have friends on the Couch! I think yesterday's temper tantrum is another indication that I'm backsliding. I usually have a better handle on my anger. Some triggering events this week and I'm just frustrated as all get out! Must keep closer eye on my mood, do not want to end up in a MDD situation again.

I'll house you - no guest room, but I could build a blanket fort extension on my balcony...

I could completely go for a blanket fort. Sounds divine.

Just told the spouse about something I've been scared to tell him for a few years now.
Nervously awaiting his reply.
Might spend my session on this today rather than what I should be spending it on.
Probably told him just so I could have something to talk about other than what T and I are talking about right now.
Slight of 'hand', ya know?

have you asked him that?
