SDs leave in two hours! I think DP and I have New Year alone together! It's been a fun, exhausting, annoying holiday. Overall pretty good.

Now to deal with:

1) one of the SDs stood on a drawer of the kitchen cabinets ripping out the top drawer, partially the second and damaging the shelf below. Neither one will come clean. I suspect SD12 but DP suspects SD9 and her TF. I actually THREW the top drawer partway across the kitchen, yelling, "I am SICK of sh!t breaking and getting lost in this house!" DP immediately promised to help me repair it and I'll hold him to that next weekend when I have time. He's not getting out of it and the repair will be on MY terms. Of course I suggested SDs help us fix it but Noooooo that's too much.

2) SDs room is gross again. Where are all the cereal bowls and tall glasses? Yep "no food rule" still blatently disregarded because DP doesn't want to deal with it. So tomorrow when I get home from work I will trash bag everything, literally, and leave them in the garage. DP or SD12 can sort it. I will not discuss it any longer after last months issues.

Gift giving went ok. SD9 broke something in a set of things I gave her within ONE minute of opening (seriously), she was messing with it and I had told her not to do it and she did it anyway. DP said, "Honest mistake." BS.

SD12 gave me a book I really wanted (thanks DP!) and I truly thanked her. She then said under her breath, "Oh my god..." I said, WHAT did you say?" SD12, "Nothing." Me, "No, you clearly said, Oh my god. What exactly did you mean?" SD12, "I didn't." After DP stepped in and flailed around she finally admitted she said it and sometimes says things accidentally that she's thinking." So she was being a b!tch. Thanks. And I was so done with gifts at that point and just tended the fire. Glad I only got them a couple small things each.
