She got her driver's license! Shocking! But didn't come over that entire weekend because of the driving test. She's not exited at all about it, or at least around us. I told her now she can go to the beach or to the store whenever she wants to. "Yeah, I guess."

She also broke our toaster, said nothing (as she does) and we discovered it two days later. DH went and got a new one.

So my sister was divorced, a GREAT thing since she was with an abuser, 2 years ago (divorce was final a year ago, but they split a year earlier). She got her own place and my niece finished up high school then, she's now 19.5.  And she's now got issues that we are all familiar with and I'm advising her as best I can, with as much honesty as I can from an outside perspective!

Ok, so DH did it AGAIN!  DH said something about being "loco" and YSD, almost 17, two years of spanish taken now, asked, "What does that mean?"  I said, two years into spanish and you don't know - and kind of laughed. I then asked, say something in spanish....she said "Whaaaa...?" and squirmed. Like she does with most direct questions. "Say something in Spanish, anything!" I wasn't being mean or anything, just trying to get her involved LIKE DH WANTS ME TO DO.

So YSD16 is here the first time in well over a month. DH was exited. Great! He gets a bunch of stuff from the store (things he only makes when she's here because I don't cook then, and a whole bunch of comfort food and treats for himself. Of course I'm not factored in again. He did get more milk.). And cooks dinner instead of picking up something, admittedly hard to do now that she's pretty much vegan. I won't wait that long again, it's my earliest day and I was very hungry and tired by dinner.
