A Mother's Day to remember... (A happy SM story!)
I'll always remember today, because it ended with one of the funniest things that has ever happened to me! Not to make anyone fell bad, but I had a great Mother's Day. I ended up sleeping on the couch last night (long story, but nothing bad) and somehow, we all managed to sleep in till after 8 am. Gibby, my BS 9, came in kissed me and wished me happy day, and he went back to his room to watch movies. later I finally got up and crawled back in bed with Loghead, and we watched the news and our Sunday morning favorite- Yard Crashers.

Update on Princess
Yes, she's home. Yes, her hair is purple. Yes, she's probably flunking out of school. Yes, she spent all the first day back at home texting and facebooking.
Loghead was pissed at her Friday night, because she'd called and asked to stay in her college town for the summer, then posted inappropriate pictures on FB, and wouldn't answer her phone. He left his temp job to go find her since she wouldn't answer her phone. Shortly before arriving to campus, he remembered he had her roommate's cell number, so he called that girl. Yes, the roommate and Princess were up, both packing.

YES, disengaging works... (Sorry to blog hog on a rainy morning!)
This seems to be a big topic lately, so let me give my opinion. Yes it works. I know it does because I'm still married. i found Step Talk 2 years ago, when I started noticing my life was unraveling. I lurked and read other people's advice and stories for awhile, and then jumped on. But i wasn't convinced about this whole concept of "disengagement."
FB profiles and hurt feelings
Facebook is slowly moving into MOY territory. Lots of skids will be posting pictures of their mothers to show how wonderful they think BM is...
I'm dying to see if Princess will change her profile. I doubt the boys will. I'm hoping Princess would be smart, and maybe post a picture of her, me and Loca Grande, from Graduation or something. I could share the spot light. But if she only posted Loca Grande, or the two of them together, i know I will feel heart-broken.
My mantra for the next 48 hours is, "I've been the REAL mom."

Kinda pissed- should I do anything about it?
On Princess's FB page this morning, I can see Loca Grande's profile picture, and it's a photo I took a month ago! It's of Princess and Lazy Boye, the only two children she acknowledges right now. But I didn't give it to her. I haven't shared any pictures with Loca Grande since Christmas, because she got mad in January when I called her out on some bad behavior of hers...

Hours till she arrives?
Princess should be home from college for the entire summer in less than 2 hours.
Or will she? The child seems to be spiraling of of control again. This afternoon she calls me around 4 pm and tells me she has decided to stay up there this summer and go to summer school after all. I start asking her all kinds of questions about her financial aid, where would she live, is it too late to register for classes, etc. (Summer session starts in 3 weeks.)

Drama Train about to arrive...
Princess 19 will be home from college in 5 days. She decided not to go to summer school, and to get a job at a local tourist attraction.
To prepare for her arrival, I spent the day cleaning her room on Saturday. We had pretty much taken over her room as a storage/office space. Oh, and I'm making sure I have my happy pill prescription filled! I haven't needed them in almost 9 months, but I spoke to my doctor this week, and he said it would be a good idea to start taking them again to help with anxiety as she moves back in...

Who is this skid?!
PITA 16 gave me a HUG before he left for prom tonight! I was pretty much staying out of the way as he was getting ready. No date, just small town, and several of the older guys on the basketball team decided to take the younger team members and just go have a guy night... I snapped a few photos while Loghead helped him with the cuff links. Loghead left to go get ready, since he also had prom tonight-chaperoning for the school where he works. PITA asked me to help with the tie, so I did, and Loghead came out just in time to get a few photos.

"Hey, Mom..."
Friday morning, these words were music to my ears! I was busy cleaning the kitchen, when PITA 16 came in and began helping out. WITHOUT BEING ASKED. I didn't want to ruin the moment, so I didn't say anything. I couldn't help but wonder what he wanted, but we continued to work side by side in silence. After a while, he asked if his sister was coming home from college for the weekend. I told him she wasn't sure because of studying, and hadn't decided if she'd be home for Easter. He said his friend's sister goes to a college closer to here, and is home every weekend.
