I went home just a bit early, put on a sparkly top, did my makeup and just generally looked awesome (wink). Even had time for some hijinx.

Munchkin SD did what I thought she would and texted everyone that she "needed a dress, could we bring one". I put two dresses plus some lack boots, and a pair of my pants in a bag for her, as it was a black-white theme. We get there a little late, the parking was clogged, and Munchkin was waiting anxiously for us so she could change from her ripped jeans into something nice. We were all super excited for her and she was excited and happy. 

In the middle-school gymn there was standing room only available, so we just hung on the sidelines, after we caught her eye so she would know where we were standing. We moved around a bit, and at the very last moment Toxic Troll and her Spawn Toxic Feral eldest came in the door which was completely opposite across from us. There was no way she did not see us. Toxic Feral had bright GREEN hair, so there was no missing that one either. 

Munchkin played guitar with 3 others while a 5th sang, and then she joined the orchestra with her violin. They sounded so AWESOME!!! Last year the beginners just sounded so bad, it was all I could to do not cover my ears. But this! was literally music to my ears. When the orchestra finished, the chorus went up to do their singing, and suddently POOF.

The electricity went out. 

Thusly, no electric piano. The orchestra part was over. Toxic Troll and Toxic Feral left immediately. They didnt even stay to greet Munchkin. Oh well! We heard an announcement from the music teacher that the chorus would continue in the music room where there is a piano. We headed there to get a backpack, and ended up hearing the kidlings sing their little hearts out. Classics like Leonard Cohen's Halleluja and the Titanic hit the heart still goes on. Very stirring and heartfelt. 

Just goes to show you - when you leave early, you miss out! Just like Toxic Troll left her marriage to a good man, and Toxic Feral leaving her father. They rightly deserve each other. 

I prepared a nice meal of steak - USDA choice Beef rib, with rice and green beans. A wonderfule end to a wonderful evening!

Just to give you a picture in your head of what Toxic Troll actually looks like, she reminded me of the Cowardly Lion, from wizard of Oz. All I could do, when I spared her a thought, last night was recall how she had called me a "non working c@nt" , and an "effing b!tch", and mentioned that she "gives better blowjobs than me and does her hair and makeup better than me..." And how she hoped DH would get rid of me.

And then just had to smile when these recollections were replaced with how things are now...we married soon after her comments. We are in the process of buying the 3 bdrm/2 ba/2 living rm house we live in. I have recently gotten a FABULOUS job, with fabulous pay to start and fabulous benefits. Munchkin SD12 tells me and other people that I am like her second Mom. My husband is attractive, sweet, funny, and really into me. He also has a great job. Our combined income puts us in the 6 figure bracket!!!! I never imagined I would be so blessed and so happy with my life like this. Things have really turned around for me, and the future is getting better and better through my once-broken windshield.

She, Toxic Troll, however is jobless, manless, living in a disgusting dirty little 2 bedrm apartment, with her Spawn. And she looks like the Cowardly Lion.
