thank you!

Thank you all so very much for listening to me...yesterday.  I knew my feelings were hurt  in my head. I knew I should should just let this go, but your input helped.  You filled in very well for my mom!

My kid also put some things in perceptive regarding her stepbrothers, she said that they should understand that their dad changed because it was time for him to change, and it took being away from their mother to do it.  She also said that if I wasn't controlling we probably wouldn't have our house or any of the bills paid!  Nice...this kid is wise beyond her years.

Now I am sitting in my home all alone...and I LOVE IT!  My husband has been off work since Monday, we had major storms, but he is going back tomorrow.  YAY!  He is golfing right now with his son who lives here.  Jim loves to golf and gave Mark his old golf clubs, bought him golf shoes for his birthday and now he has a partner.  Good exercise too.

Tomorrow I have a court date to see if the state of Illinois allows the custodial parent to receive child support for their children in college, or at least orders the other parent to pay 1/2 of college.  My boys dad paid half, but he is responsible.  I am not afraid of court, I went many times with Mark and his ex...I even helped him try & get custody of his youngest, this without a lawyer!

Liz's graduation party is Saturday.   We are having it at Jeremy and Tracey's house.  I still have to buy a few things for the picnic.  She wants things simple, which makes me happy.  Liz is working at Target now, overnights, from 10 pm until 6 am.  She has been working 3 days only and they are in a row so she can adjust her sleep.  She's a night owl anyway.  She will have to change this schedule in the fall, but Target wants her on days anyway.  Guess they think she friendly.

I think she's pretty special!
