The parents are back at work! I have time to myself! My dad retires in 4 months. Mom will either kill him or divorce him whichever comes first (their 40th anniversary is this coming year). Dad can be a real pain in the ass. He doesn't want to DO anything and he expects you to want to sit around with him.
Case in point yesterday he knows mom and I are going shopping so he dragged his heels for 2 hours before plowing the snow off the drive so we couldn't get out. Then mom and I were going with her brother and his wife to the casino. Dad pouted and sniped the whole afternoon, bitched that no one was cooking his dinner (we DID cook it mind you he just didn't want to eat it alone) and did everything he could to keep us from leaving (we did another 2 hours late). THIS is why I don't get married.
As for the casino, I didn't win big (then again I only play nickel and quarter machines) then again I won enough to play for four hours and only lose 10$. It was fun.
