I just spent 7 hours with Loca Grande. She was all buddy-buddy with me; Princess was so heavily medicated she was asleep most of the day. She actually bought us matching necklaces that say "Mom." "You've been such a good friend and good mom to the kids, I can never thank you enough for all you've done."

She wants to get together next week and have lunch.

Oh, my husband ows me when he gets home tonight. Now that Princess is more awake, she has been thankful I allowed Loca to be here, but she even admitted she was glad she left. "She talks so loud, and her perfume was filling up the room..."

Ah, the things I have done for my skids...
