Is it bad that I'm looking forward to work tomorrow so I don't have to deal with him much?
Nope! Totally normal parenting impulse.

So this whole "we're going to cut the power off but we don't know when" thing is extremely frustrating.

Tomorrow Step-dad is getting hearth catherization and loop thingy inserted after passing out at home. Sister is getting esophagus opened with some balloon procedure and then botox'd open since it collapsed or some such. Going to be with my sister and other sister is taking care of step-dad.

There is an assisted living home associated with ltc's school, and the kids went for a visit today. ltc was a big hit sitting with the residents instead of her class and singing to them.
