Oh, LadyM that is scary - and, in agreement with you, he shouldna'. Beyond how unhappy he himself is, for another thing, it scares those who love him. Dd25 stood up at work from under a metal cabinet yesterday when she had been bent over working at the counter. She whammed the back of her head, causing a bump but didn't break the skin and her hair is very thick. She said she could hardly believe how much pain just that moment was, so I'm sure your dh was hurting if he actually bled AND can't prove whether he was knocked out. I'm so sorry.
Not as funny now that your dh actually is hurt and your ds15 sort of had to rescue him. BUT I'm still going to tell you I thought of a funny about (for?) your ds15. I had recently read a study that the fence hopping made me remember. Although what ds15 did was not so bad for him to do, he didn't realize he was being an example. And he has caused one of the little ones to go astray.
Twins' will attend a surprise bday party, but the one I'll attend today for dmil is not. Only her oldest living brother will be surprised, because his dd says she has to surprise him with any event, or he'll think about it so much he'll talk himself out of going. (smile! I understand that thinking!) Hard to believe it (although I know ya'll will, since it's about me), but I made her a bookmark at the last minute. "no gifts" at the party, so I'll partially hide it in the card.
Procrastination - check.
Perfectionism - check.
Consistency - check.
I really donwanna go. But, a whole lot of folks who really donwanna actually aren't, so that settles it for me. This apathy for visiting/calling dmil makes me sad for her. She is not an easy person to be around, I know. In fact, she has some antagonistic history with most. But nobody ever promised us a rose garden - we have to expect a spectrum, I think.
Moving of the little storage building may have been put on hold - we've heard nothing. HRH says he feels the need to be here because it still might happen, but doesn't want to call either son, since they are both already trying as hard as they can and have asked us to trust they can accomplish... ..
