in my bedroom. they're still here.

hubby gave them til friday. they have to be moved out on friday. and he made it quite clear that if they had to sleep at the "hopeless" shelter, they have to be out on friday and not a day later. (of course my son can stay if he's working full time, but since he hasn't bothered to look for a job, that's not likely to happen.) neither of them has anyplace to go. not my problem. if it were me they'd have been out of here this past weekend. i can't believe he's being this nice about it. but that's ok. i work the rest of the week, so i won't have to deal with it after today.

my bro is still bitching about "if i just had another $100 dollars i could blah blah blah". yeah, well, maybe if you hadn't bought that pot you'd have another $100.

blahblahblah.........and so it goes.

i bought a book last week that i thought was merely a trashy romance novel. i wanted a bit of fluff and easy reading to absorb myself in for a few days.

turns out it was about dark hunters and vampire-like creatures from another world. it was definitely an escape. i started reading it and thought 'oh gawd, what a piece of crap' but found myself totally absorbed in it.

so i bought another one yesterday. different author, same kind of crap.

and yes, i know it's crap, but it's my crap and i'm enjoying it.

*heh*

so today i have to go to the recycling center, pick my daughter up and go to the bank. easy day, huh? i wish i were working full time tho, and i know that's going to happen soon.

i told my hubby that as soon as the moochers move out they'll put me on full time at work. i've been home for 3 months and not had a single day to myself, but as soon as they move on i'll be going full time.

that's just the way things work out for me.

i can definitely use the money tho, so it's good.

i had a moment with my daughter last night.

she was dancing and singing and being totally goofy. and i thought to myself 'she's really growing up. not just the hormones and the attitude and the teenage stuff.' she's got boobs that seem to get bigger every day (dammit) and she's really starting to come into her own.

and she's completely lovely.

she's smart and funny and beautiful and clever and sweet, the whole package, if you will. everyone, and i mean everyone, who meets and knows this child loves her and goes on and on about what a wonderful kid she is.

she's driven by challenges, and has dreams and wants to achieve certain things already in her young life.

how can 2 kids from the same mom who were raised in the same way be so different???

if ya'll find the answer to that one, let me know, ok??? i can't figure it out.

****

and since my dyslexic typing skills are really pissing me off today, i'm gonna say buh-bye for now.

have a great monday if ya can, and if not, bitch about it later here!!!!!!
