I haven't mentioned our house guest... Back in September, my SSs came to Loghead and I and told us about a friend of theirs that was being beaten and verbally abused by his dad and stepmom. Long story short (one which involved a gun and the county sherriff); the boy now lives with us. He's 18, so he was able to make that choice...

His father has spread the rumor around town that all the boys are gay, and we allow unspeakable things to go on under our roof. How lovely!

This past Tuesday was our 14th wedding anniversary! On that day, I became a wife, mother and friend. I got an ex wife to take care of too, whether I wanted to or not; and we've survived. In many ways, we are stronger for all the trials and roadblocks we've been through.

The best part was when Loghead said this morning, "They'll be gone in 18 more months; do you realize that?"

Yes, dear. It's been on my calendar for about 4 years now... But glad you are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel too!

In 14 years, Loca Grande has told me at least 5 times that she "might have cancer." She's even taken to saying it to the kids when they are ignoring her, so they will spend time with her...

Well, in the last week, she has had a D&C and a hysterectomy. Waiting to hear results. Princess 20 is done with it... Lazy Boye 17 said he can't drop everything everytime she says "cancer." and amazingly enough PITA 18 went to see her over the weekend, and called her 3 times the day of her surgery!

There, I said it. A recent post of mine had a lot of people commenting because they couldn't believe I let Loca Grande in our house. Let me explain why I let that crazy bitch in...
