PITA 19 has patched things up with his father- still ignoring me. Fine I can deal with that. He did apologize for his rude behavior to me when he was home about 3 weeks ago, but hasn't talked to me since. I can live with that.

What I can't live with is him being here, and all his girlfriend and all their friends.

Loghead had two deaths in his family in the last five days, due to illness and old age. Loca Grande posted on HER Facebook page to "Pray for my family this week as we deal with our sadness." Someone asked her what was wrong, and she said two family members out in (BLANK) state passed away. SHE'S TALKING ABOUT HIS FRICKIN FAMILY!!!! They've been divorced nearly 17 years! They aren't your family anymore, bitch. Gosh, what an attention whore! Man, I am so pissed...

PITA 19 left for college on Thursday. Due to a change of plans, I did not go as part of the move-in process, and he was out all night before with his girlfriend. So I didn't even truly get to say good bye...

But in the days right before he left, PITA asked many times to sit with me, and asked my advice on things, even just silly stuff like, "When should I do my laundry?"

He asked me how to spell my maiden name, and I asked him why. He said one of the school forms asked for "mother's maiden name." "You're my mom. Not her," he said.

I just realized that in 10 days, Lazy Boye will be 18 years old. I will have gotten all the skids to the age of 18, mostly safe and sound. AND I CAN BE DONE WITH LOCA!

In 9 days, I deliver PITA 19 to his college dorm. I don't expect him to visit home much. Once he realizes there is a big world out there, I doubt he'll be back for his HS sweetie.

So really, other than maybe planning Christmas around the skids possibly wanting to visit her (doubtful), I really only have to deal with Loca next May, when Lazy Boye graduates HS.
