Princess left this morning. she announces last night that she has decided to spend her last few days of her college break with her mother and "Lil Granma."

And she knew Loghead and I had plans to spend Saturday with her and take her to a big local event, and out to dinner, and getting last minute things she needs for back to school.

Loghead went back to work Monday; the skids, Gibby and I went back to school/work today. Things are ALMOST back to normal. Princess can't get back into the dorm until Sunday...

She's been really cranky all through break. I'm almost glad she took off to her mother's today, even though that makes her comes home in an even worse mood. The "air" at Loca Grande's house has a weird affect on her...

I will not let the drama of others create drama for me.

Easier said than done when you are a step-mom, but it worked pretty well for me, so I am going with it again this year.

I also hope to gain a better relationship with PITA 16. That skid seems to be floatly aimlessly since he decided he didn't want Loca Grande to be his mom anymore. Well, that's biology, he can't change that, but hopefully I can help him remember he always has had a mom right here...

She sent me a message today, whining about health insurance and paying $240 for the skids' school lunches this last month, and how since she's paying so much for them now, she and her husband hardly ever eat...

Yea, ya fat cow. i can tell from the looks of it you never eat. and you want me to be sorry for you, spending for 2 teenage boys' lunch bills? Who do you think paid for their lunches for the last 12 years, ya frickin' b%^&*$. And their school clothes, and school supplies, and daily personal needs, and, and, and...

She got on my last nerve...
