My DD decided to go out in the lovely winter snowy weather we have tonight! Just a dusting so far but our private road is solid ice from the entry way all the way to my front door. Which by the way is about 1 mile long.

~~~ edited to add ~~~ my lovely DD also ended up in the ditch at the 90 degree turn which cause us to have 2 trucks hookup chains to pull her out. Neither truck could do it till my neighbor and I laid down on roof of van with legs up on the trees that were .2 cm away from van and push. Luckily I have the strength of the HULK when I’m mad … so little to say the van is out.

Then lovely most darling daughter decided she just HAD to go back over to her ex husband’s house and deal with the paternity papers for my granddaughter.

Now she IS my daughter so I will hold my tongue. But I made it very clear that she will pull her own self out if she gets stuck again!

But for the record … I’d like to slap her square upside her head at this point!

Congrats to my step daughter who swore this taught her a lesson. Apparently not, she is back in jail. Just turned 18 on the 29th of November and it took her less than 30 days to steal, lie and manipulate her foster mom and steal money from her.

How very sad! All I can say is “I told you so!” to her social worker. That’s not mean either, if you knew the story. In short, nobody would listen to me and get her admitted to residential care instead removed any boundaries and gave her free will. Well free will led her to burglary of a home and now theft of monies from her foster mom.

I hate it when the system doesn’t listen and puts these kids up for sacrifice. Which is exactly what has happened in this case. The social worker runs a little program called the challenge program and he didn’t want a “failure of his methods” on the books. So now Mr. Social Worker, you have finally succeeded. You didn’t get my step daughter the real help she needed instead you felt I was the vendictive evil step mother and you could repair this child with your “perfect” program. Clearly, you overstepped your mark and had no clue what you were facing. This girl needed residential care to save her life.

Now you just handed her the nuse!

I am counting down the hours till vacation. It’s not really a vacation but dang close enough. I originally took 1 week then due to having a houseful this weekend I believe if my figure is right, I will be moving DD into her home by middle of the week. YEAH! Seriously, I’m happy to see her go. Not because she’s annoying or anything … well maybe just a little.

There is a bit of a mama power struggle going on in the house. Hopefully, once she’s in her own she will see how hard it really is. Plus we will go from 9 people down to 5. And if Kyle goes with it’ll be 5 gone and 4 here. Everything should eventually cut in half. The electric bill, food bill, screaming bill … argument bill … the I’m right bill … the list goes on.

But just knowing I could give her this, makes my day. Its not much, but it is a totally remodeled 14 x 70 trailer. The entire inside was gutted and drywalled. New floors, paint, her dad made her kitchen and bathroom cabinets … and her own freedom with her two children. She owes her papa a huge thank you too. If it wasn’t for his will to make sure all his kids and grandkids are taken care of she wouldn’t have a pot to piss in or a window to launch it out of.

I can’t wait. Maybe things will get better around here. Quiet time with hubby, is so muchly needed.
