They were just about finished when Sheila went to get the girls some clothes. But on her way back to the bathroom, Sheila got preoccupied. See, "American Idol" was on TV. Sheila stopped to watch . . . you know, just for a minute. Of course, Sheila got so wrapped up in the show she COMPLETELY FORGOT about her two young daughters in the bathtub. And by the time she finally remembered, Sirius had slipped underwater . . . and had started to drown. Sheila freaked. She pulled Sirius from the tub and began CPR while her brother . . . 38-year-old Darnell Wilson . . . called 911. An ambulance arrived and they rushed the girl to the hospital where she was revived. And while doctors think Sirius is going to be OK, Sheila still has some explaining to do. Apparently, the police who responded to the 911 call found Sheila's secret stash . . . which included more than an ounce of marijuana and a scale. Sheila hasn't been charged yet in the near drowning . . . but her five daughters have been taken from her and placed in protective custody.

CHEESE AFTER THEIR KIDS ARGUE OVER AN ARCADE GAME</span><br /><br />Don't you just love it when you see parents setting a good, solid example for their kids? Like these two ladies . . .<br /><br />Last Saturday, 38-year-old Catherine Aliaga of West Roxbury, Massachusetts, threw a birthday party for her nine-year old son at Chuck E. Cheese. While there, Catherine's son got into an argument with a 13-year-old boy. It seems the older boy was "hogging" a basketball arcade game and wouldn't let Catherine's son take a turn. Catherine told her son to wait patiently . . . but after the older boy shoved her son, Catherine intervened and told the older kid to get lost so her son could play the game. That didn't sit well with 33-year-old Tarsha Williams of Dorchester, Massachusetts . . . who is the older boy's mother . . . and she got up in Catherine's face. The ladies exchanged words . . . and the situation quickly escalated into an all-out fist fight . . . in front of all the kids . . . at Chuck E. Cheese. The cops showed up and arrested both ladies. They're now both waiting for their court dates.

She looks around and ignores all the children while the oldest of the 3 tries to babysit the other 2. She (oldest) runs after the other 2 all over the store, trying to keep them from playing in the racks and basically destroying the store. She comes to me and asks to use our restroom, we are only allowed to let one person in at a time and since we already have someone in there I tell her she will have to wait a few minutes, she says OK and walks away. A minute later, my manager calls me to the front to let me know the 2yr. old has peed all over the floor. It looked like she had walked in a circle while letting it all out shall we say. Oldest child is really <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">embarrassed</span> and asks for a mop so she can clean it up. I get the mop, clean it up and set out the "Wet Floor" signs. "MOM" has yet to acknowledge the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">situation</span> as she is too busy talking on the phone to realize what is going one w/ her own children. When she does figure out what is going on, instead of being <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">embarrassed</span>, or even apologizing, she yells at oldest and youngest for making the mess. I was dumbfounded! I would have been mortified first of all, and I would have volunteered to clean the mess and immediately left the store to change my poor child. Not this mom...there was shopping to be done...she stayed almost another hour in the store with the poor wet child crying the whole time that she wanted to changed clothes. We found out after she did leave that she had stolen a complete outfit....we found empty hangers where she had been standing in the corner that were not there before she came in. Class act!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Candidate #2</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Mom comes in w/ small boy (probably 2 or 3 yrs old) She asks if he can use the restroom because he is learning to "potty" and she doesn't want an accident while she shops. GREAT! Sounds like she is on top of things. They go to the restroom and then begin shopping. They are in the store a good hour just roaming around. The little boy starts saying he needs to go potty.....she tells him to wait....he says again he really needs to go potty....she gets angry and yells at him to wait...this goes on for about 20 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">mins</span>. I explain to her that I would be glad to let them in the restroom again if she needed. "No, he'll be fine...he just went" Now, before I explain what <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">happened</span> next...although I bet you can guess....let me just ask you, if he were potty training and was asking to go, shouldn't you take him <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">every time</span> he asked? Anyway, as I am sure you can guess the poor little guy had an accident. Mom laid into him like you wouldn't <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">believe</span>!

That turned out to be a little exaggeration (I am not sure on whose part) Thankfully she is OK and so is the baby. She actually had a gall bladder attack as best the Dr. could tell. Evidently a box of Dominos' Hot wings wasn't the smartest idea for supper. She is to follow up with her Dr. and lay off the fried, greasy foods.<br /><br />In other stepmonster news, they (she and baby daddy) finally got an apt. of their own. We helped them move last weekend. <br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />Speaking of last weekend I hosted a "Things We Do For Love Night" at our church and we had the best turn out ever! We had 16 couples who enjoyed a great meal and then we played the "Not Really NewlyWed Game" Some of the questions were really hard but I think everyone had a great time. Sugarbritches and I had fun even though hosting kind of takes time away from him. Maybe some day someone else will host and I can just enjoy the night too. Don't get me wrong I love doing these kinds of things but I just realized recently how much SB just sort of has to go along for the ride and wait by the sidelines to spend any time with me. <br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />Valentine's Day was a quite but nice day. We went to dinner and while we were there SB gave me my present. I had asked him to get 2 of my necklaces repaired so I could wear them again, I guess he thought that wasn't enough because when I opened the jewelry box I found a beautiful heart shaped necklace w/ matching earrings. I have worn them everyday since! *G* I got him what he said he wanted.....his motorcycle serviced for Spring. How romantic! *LOL* Oh and to prove just how old we've gotten, after dinner we went to LOWE'S! He and I used to laugh at older couples who would walk around Lowe's on a Friday and Saturday night. Now we're that couple! *L* We picked out some new carpet that we want to save for and I think we decided on the vanity and sink for the bathroom so as soon as he can, SB will be starting to tear out the tile and, take the popcorn stuff off the ceiling (I can't wait for that to happen all through the house!)<br /><br />Well, if you aren't tired of my boring life yet, your life must be more even more boring! *L* Just kidding!!!<br /><br />Have a great day and give your sweetheart a kiss for me!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14838365.post-3708782163651606542008-01-24T23:49:00.000+00:002008-01-24T23:53:31.739+00:00Something else that made me laugh today...<span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000066;">This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company; Proctor and Gamble, regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph...<br /><br /> Dear Mr. Thatcher, </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000066;"> I have been a loyal user of your 'Always' maxi pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the Leak Guard Core or Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts.<br /> </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000066;"> But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.<br />Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from the curse'? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my time of the month is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call 'an inbred hillbilly with knife skills.' Isn't the human body amazing?<br /> </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000066;"> As Brand Manager in the Feminine-Hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo'. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying, jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it's a tough time for most women. In fact, only last week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her boyfriend's testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because he told her he thought Grey's Anatomy was written by drunken chimps. Crazy!<br /> </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:#000066;"> The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... Which brings me to the reason for my letter.<br />Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: 'Have a Happy Period.' Are you fu*ing kidding me? What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing happiness is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James?<br /></span><br /></span><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000066;"> FYI, unless you're some kind of sick S&M freak girl, there will never be anything 'happy' about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local Walgreen's armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory.<br /> </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000066;"> For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like 'Put down the Hammer' or 'Vehicular Manslaughter is Wrong', or are you just picking on us?<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000066;"> Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bull sh*t. And that's a promise I will keep. Always.</span><br /><p><span style="color:#000066;"></span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> </p><br /><span style="color:#000066;"> Best, Wendi Aarons Austin , TX </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">PC Magazine's 2007 editors' choice for best webmail-award-winning letter.</span></span><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14838365.post-30299935658857787862008-01-24T13:26:00.000+00:002008-01-24T13:31:15.296+00:00This is too funny!If you've seen the nutty Tom Cruise interview then you'll LOVE this!<br /><br /><a href="http://www2.funnyordie.com/public/flash/fodplayer.swf">http://www2.funnyordie.com/public/flash/fodplayer.swf</a>"Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14838365.post-43507303249954655902008-01-07T04:01:00.000+00:002008-01-07T04:22:42.125+00:00She's in serious need of an Intervention!<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13996305@N04/1470850719/"></a><br /><br />Have you seen the craziness that is Britney Spears life ya'll?

It's sort of a last minute thing, he found out about the trip in Oct. and rushed to get all his paperwork in order so he could go. They will be gone for 6 days. I know very little about Haiti except that they don't seem to like Americans. What makes me so proud of Big Dog (what I'll call him here) is not only is he doing this because he feels it's what God would have him do; but, it is sooooo far out of his comfort zone. #1 he is flying for the first time, something he has been afraid to do until now. #2 he will be teaching 70 local pastors 2 lessons next week. I can remember how much he struggled in school (so much so he never graduated H.S.) and to think that he will be <strong><em>teaching</em></strong> in front of so many just blows my mind. </span><br /><br />I went today to pick up a few cards for each of the guys going on the trip. I have told my brother I want him to give them out to the guys sometime while they are gone. I have been trying to think of what I want to write in his card but "I'm proud of you" just doesn't seem to be enough. I only have a few more days to figure it out though so I better get on it!<br /><br />If you are the praying type please say a little prayer for safety, wisdom and strength for this group as they leave on the 9th!<br /><br /><br />Thanks!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14838365.post-6958884042650978742008-01-02T01:14:00.000+00:002008-01-02T01:31:20.431+00:00HAPPY 2008 YA'LL!!!<span style="color:#3366ff;">WOW can you believe it's 2008 already?

I am not thrilled w/ the pregnancy or with the "Baby Daddy" (ex-neighbor) but I can't hold the baby at fault for her parents stupidity.

But I do have an excuse.....not a good one but an excuse non the less. Yesterday I did some things that have been neglected around the house this week, like laundry, dishes, you know important stuff. Then I had to work at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Chunky's</span> last night. This was the first night that the Mgr. let me do the closing paperwork all by myself. I think I did <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">OK</span>, I did somethings out of the normal order but she said whatever I was comfortable with was fine. I didn't tell her that I didn't mean to do it out of order I just forgot a couple of steps along the way...although, I am sure she noticed the dazed and confused look on my face but she chose not to s<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ay</span> anything. *G* <br /><br />Today was technically my day off but here it is 6:30 and I am exhausted. I left the house this morning at 10am to get my check from Job #1, go by the bank, then I had to come home pick up the pooch for her day at the puppy spa (more on that later) Then, I went to get my hair done.....<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">shhhh</span> don't tell anybody but I changed the color of my hair today! And <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Sugarbritches</span> didn't even notice! *L* Well, he did notice that it was cut differently and his exact words were.."<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Something's</span> different right?" Bless him! I also had to go by the grocery store before I <br />finally went back to pick up the pooch and even after 4 1/2 hours she STILL was not ready! I was kinda ticked off!! I mean I was told it would take 2 hours when I dropped her off at 1pm!! I won't be taking her back there. It was a new place, actually the same girl who had been grooming her just opened her new shop and asked that we give her a try. She told me that she would be cheaper than I was paying now since I would be driving about 10 more miles to her shop. Well, when I dropped her off she asked me how much I had paid at shop #1. Thinking she just wanted to know so she could be lower, I said "$40" She said OK and I left. Well, when I pick her up she tells me that she will MATCH their price for her old customers but the new customers would pay more. Well, I won't be paying more and I won't be going back. Pooch does look fabulous in her little yellow bows but her cut was almost as much as mine today!<br /><br />Oh well, live and learn I guess. I still need to price things for the Yard Sale and fix something to eat for Supper. <br /><br />Feel sorry for me yet?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14838365.post-6566187369347432232007-05-30T13:12:00.000+00:002007-05-30T13:17:51.168+00:00Top Ten TuesdayIn keeping with the whole "Posting everyday until something exciting happens" Theme I give you the Top Ten Blogs I read almost daily!

I decided that the only way I was going to be able to get out of this credit card hole I had dug for myself was to get a second job. I only worked part-time as it was and I have had 2 jobs several times during the last 10 years so it wasn't that hard to think about. I only applied at one place. A women's store very close to my first job. The rationale was that since it was so close I could leave job 1 & go to job 2 on my way home. I went in for an interview a few days after applying and started that week. I'll call the store "Chunky's" which is close to the real name but not so close as to get me in trouble (HOPEFULLY) I really like working there! For the most part everyone I work with is very nice and the management team all seem to like me. I was told that I would only get about 10 hours a week.....that lasted a few weeks. I started slowly picking up shifts when people called out and soon I was working 20-25 hours a week. <br /><br />As I said, I really enjoy working there and almost everyone there is great. ALMOST. There are 2 Co-Managers and an Asst. Mgr. Asst. Mgr is 25, lives at home and will tell you all about her life...even if you ask her not to. *G* She is incredibly lazy and seems to work very hard to get out of work. Just a few examples, one day she was re-stocking our jewelry counter (which sits in front of the registers) and I was on the other end of the store putting out that week's shipment. She called me 4 times to come check out customers. The last guy asked why she wouldn't wait on him since she was standing right there! I told him I didn't know. He had been in the store long enough to see her call me over at least 2 times before him though so I hope he didn't think it was personal. On the first night I closed with her, I worked 4.5 hours. In that length of time she took<strong> 4</strong> 15 min. breaks and I only really saw her check out 1 customer. I didn't say anything to the other managers because I still think I am new and maybe they are close friends and who wants to rock the boat ya know? But then I start hearing that the store manager is having problems getting anyone to work w/ her because she is so lazy. Apparently she was doing this to everyone...and this also explained how I was getting so many hours, if she was the Mgr. on Duty (MOD for short) then most people just called in or tried to switch w/ someone so they wouldn't have to work w/ her. Well, when people started speaking up, the Mgr. started looking into it and she was given a written warning. Fast forward a few months, Asst. Mgr is sent to help out a store in another state. She doesn't know anyone there but proceeds to tell them things about her personal life that...let's just say were pretty shocking to those ladies and again our Mgr. had to write her up. Basically the company has a 3 strike and your out kind of rule. So she was on her last leg the beginning of May... the Mgr. called me at home one Sat. afternoon and asked me to consider going into management. (I gotta say that the second week I worked there Sugarbritches told me I would be in management within 6 months. I laughed but told Mgr. what he said!) Evidently she had remembered what I told her and wanted to know if I would seriously consider it. She gave me a little info about the job, pay and benefits and told me to let her know...no rush but she was trying to replace asst.mgr before she lost all her other associates. I talked to SB and then I told her I would do it. Fast forward a few weeks, all this time Mgr. has been looking for something, anything to give the girl her 3rd strike. She finally gets it last week while I was on vacation & I was officially offered the position last Weds. I started training yesterday and I gotta say if I get the paperwork aspect down I think I am really going to like it!<br /><br />As a special bonus, I can get health ins. in 90 days...so in 91 days I am going to call about having the gastric bypass surgery! I am very excited!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14838365.post-27030134960047101242007-05-28T12:45:00.000+00:002007-05-28T12:48:56.236+00:00Has it ever...been so long between posts that you just don't know how to catch everyone up? It gets that way for me here. I want to tell you all about the stepmonster drama, my new job and our adventures at bike week but I really don't know where to begin. I think I'll leave out the stepmonster drama because it's just too pathetic really; but, I'm going to make myself post something everyday even if it's just a "To-Do" list until I get back in the groove of posting.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14838365.post-33305380527401723022007-04-21T23:52:00.000+00:002007-04-22T00:06:16.422+00:00100 years...Today the town I work in celebrated their 100<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> year! It's a small town...population < class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">fliers</span> to hand out for different ministries in the church. I am sure you're thinking 2 things...1. She goes to church? and 2. Why wait so late to work on those <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">fliers</span>? Well, I must say I am offended by your first question! *L* And your second question gets me a little touchy as well. You see I would not have been up at 4:30 in the AM if certain people who shall remain nameless would have turned in their info in a timely manner! UGH! Oh well, I was able to put a little something together and everyone seemed happy with it. <br /><br />As far as small town celebrations go, this one was even smaller than you can imagine! There were only 7 booths and 4 of those were churches! *<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">LOL</span>* The best thing I can say about the day was that the weather was AWESOME! High 70's w/ a slight breeze. Perfect Festival weather. <br /><br /><br />I was hoping to come home and take a nap but had no such luck. The manager from my Second Job called and asked me to come in for another lady whose mother had been taken to the hospital yesterday. SAINT that I am I decided to go. I get there and who do I see? Lady I am working for! Could someone have called me? NOPE. #3 Manager (whom I don't like working with) asked me to stay and send other lady home...other lady didn't want to go home...#3 Mgr. only wanted me to stay because she knows other lady is new and she would have to actually work if I didn't stay. I left 2 hrs. later and now I am ready to crash! <br /><br />I am going to pull on my pj's and curl up on the sofa and pray there is nothing good on TV so I will fall right to sleep! *<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">LOL</span>*<br /><br />Have a great weekend <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">y'all</span>!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14838365.post-31035859381498102852007-04-17T23:24:00.000+00:002007-04-17T23:38:13.457+00:00Senseless Tragedy<span style="font-family:lucida grande;">I have been watching the news the last few days and I can't help but wonder why? Why would this guy choose to handle whatever disappointment life sent his way by going on a killing spree? I also wonder when did people lose their coping mechanism? Does that question make sense? What I mean is when did our society start to think that the best way to handle, being made fun of, dumped, or just having an all around sucky life, is start shooting innocent people? I could almost understand if these shooters were targeting the people who hurt them, but in most instances the victims never knew the attacker. </span><br /><br />On the flip side you have people who have truly suffered at the hands of those who supposedly love them. I think of those children who were locked up in cages, lived in their own excrement, etc. Most of those people go on to lead extraordinarily normal lives. Where did their strength come from? Maybe we should come up with video games like that. The object of the game would be to SURVIVE without doing harm to others! Imagine the concept! Maybe then people wouldn't look at killing innocent people as just another way to deal with their problems.<br /><br />Remember to say a prayer for the families of all the victims in this tragedy as well as the parents of the shooter. I can only imagine the shame and pain they must feel.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14838365.post-64393688614091693692007-04-12T00:01:00.000+00:002007-04-12T00:12:56.481+00:00Give me 3 words, give me 3 words mister......The rule of this meme is simple, answer each thing on the list with no more and no less than three words:<br /><br />01.

Management at 107.9 The End earlier said the Morning Rave show had been taken off the air indefinitely. <br /><br />The station would not name those who had lost their jobs over the contest, but issued the following statement: <br /><br />"Effective immediately, the Morning Rave program is cancelled and 10 employees are no longer with the station," John Geary, Vice President Entercom Sacramento. <br /><br />Jennifer Strange, 28, died Friday after she took part in a station competition in an effort to win a Nintendo Wii video game system. <br /><br />Strange, a mother of three, did not win. But later that afternoon, she was found dead at her Rancho Cordova home. A preliminary report said she showed signs of water intoxication. <br /><br />Contestants signed a waiver before taking part in the competition, but the winner of the game said participants were never alerted to the dangers. <br /><br />A listener who said she is a nurse called the show and warned the deejays on air of the risks of the game. <br /><br />Timothy O'Connor, a personal injury attorney, called the waiver "meaningless" and said the radio station still shares some responsibility. <br /><br />"Waivers deal with the risk of an activity," O'Connor said. "Nobody drinks a glass of water and thinks, 'This can kill me'." <br /><br /><br />I know I would not have thought so....would you?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14838365.post-18119952656723888042007-01-06T14:59:00.000+00:002007-01-06T15:24:52.104+00:00Releasing Stepmonster out into the Wild!I have hestiated writing this post for fear it may not come true....but maybe by putting it out there in the universe I can will it into existence!<br /><br />A little background...<br /><br /> We came home from the Fabulous Vacation to an email from "The (ex-)neighbor's" mom. She just wanted to thank us for her vacation. It seems that while we were away we had allowed her son to come "shack-up" (that's a southern term for living together while not married...just in case you needed a translation *G*) w/ stepmonster. Oh and he got to bring his yapping dog too! We are too kind! I was 6 levels of pissed off before I even finshed the email. I told SB who was also angry but not as mad as me. UNTIL....while talking to Stepmonster (SM here on out) I mention that he could have taken anything in the house while we were gone. SB runs to our room and starts yelling "Oh Hell no!" I am almost laughing and say "You're kidding..he really didn't take something" Oh but he did....SB's shotgun was missing! We looked all over the house but could not find it. I emailed the mother and told her that we called the police to file a report and to expect a visit from the sherriff's office. I was shocked to get an email back from her saying that although the gun was not at her house she had no doubts he probably took it. She also began telling us, through SEVERAL emails over the next few days, that her son was no good and SM should "run not walk as far away from him as she could!" That's nice of a mom to say huh? We also spoke to her closest friend who just happened to be home on leave from the Air Force while we were gone. She told us that Boyfriend drove our vehicles w/out our permission. Even if we had known he was at our home we would not have allowed that because he <strong>HAS NO LICENSE DUE TO A DWI! </strong><br /> I spoke to several family members on both sides of the famiy and our preacher about what we should do. EVERY ONE of them said "You need to make her find a place of her own" So I went to SB and said that's what we're going to do. He was less than thrilled but after telling him that I wasn't going to compromise on <em><strong>IF</strong></em> she could stay but only on <em><strong>HOW LONG </strong></em>she could stay, he came around.<br /> We sat her down and explained to her that we could no longer trust her to be alone in our home and among other things we were making her responsible for replacing the gun...she should get Boyfriend to help pay...but ultimately it was up to her. She needed to get her car put in her name and get her own insrance. She also had until the end of April to save up for a place to live and <em><em><strong>GET OUT!</strong></em></em> In case you think we are kicking out a child...let me just say she will be 22 next month. She should already be gone as far as I am concerned but SB is a softy when it comes to his only daughter. <br /> So, as of April 30th SB & I will be alone at the Bay!
