There are two condos, side by side, overlooking a field where Little Leaguers play. One porch blooms with white petunias, pumpkins and pilgrims, wreaths, Santas, white glowing lights. Soon bats and helmets will spill from that porch and onto his drive, cluttered with skateboards and bikes. Sean, quiet, shy, in his late 30s, will park in the street on those evenings.
Sean’s job is to take care of both properties which his ex-father-in-law owns. And he does his job to do the job of raising his two young sons who live next door with their mother and her third husband.

Taking care of two condos isn't a whole lot of work, unless you consider the psychic damage.
He could grow mushrooms in the closet.

P.S. I'm glad that you're back on blooger, b.g.
Is this temporary, or have you wisely abandoned FaceHell for good?

There is a lot of self sacrifice to choose to work for you ex-FIL so you can be there for your kids. Must sting every time he sees the 3rd husband.

lol @ He could grow mushrooms in the closet.
thunder, my goal with this writing challenge is to get back to my writing/blogging daily! Woo hoo! (And yes, I've been off the Face of Hell for quite awhile now. Another: Woo hoo!)
fish, I know! That is a huge self sacrifice! I wonder if it stings. I imagine that it would, but maybe it doesn't at all!
