Last night DH went to bed at ten and all the kids had been in bed since 9. I decided to go on the porch and smoke before bed. While I'm out there the door opens and SD is just staring at me. I asked what was wrong and didn't get an answer so I stopped what I was doing and asked again. Still no response and she starts to walk outside and towards the steps like she's just going to walk into the yard. I was a little weirded out by this so I turned her around and walked her back into the house. Upon walking in I noticed the carpet right outside her bedroom door was all wet.

So last night I was on my way to a New Moon ritual, and SS was playing in the court yard. I told him I was heading out, and that I'd be back in a few hours.

"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to my witch meeting."
"With pretend witches?"
"No honey, with real ones."

....

"There are real witches?"
"Yep."
"How do you know?"
"Because I am one."
"You're a witch!?"
"Yep."
"But,..."
"You can ask me all about it later kiddo, right now I've got to go."

Where we are in the world; it is just about time for the annual skids holiday... and once again I am faced with the usual thoughts regarding upheaval in my usually peaceful home...

And when I say upheaval folks I don't mean my step children... I mean the accompanying crazy that come from, yep you guessed it the children's mother...

Apparently they were fighting over laundry or something like that and ss17 told yuck that he understands why hus dad divorced her!

He told her that her verbal abuse and her raging fits is why dh left her and she is nuts.

Not saying it was right for him to say this but it sure was funny.

The sad part is that yuck kids see through her and don't like to be around her much. And yuck brought this on herself.
