So while we had Miss B with us last weekend I had a blast with her.  She acted like her old self and I was happy being around her.

Crazy called and asked if instead of bringing her home if George could just bring her to school.  Not a problem.

So, George told Miss B and it was fine with her.  BUT, she wanted him to take her to her uncle’s house to get some clothes for school.  George told her she could just wear something she had with us.  But, then George started to wonder- why does she need to go to her uncle’s house to pick up her clothes.  And then the story came out.  Apparently her clothes are at her uncle’s house because that’s where she lives.

Nothing like having NO idea that your daughter has been living somewhere else for several weeks to make you just a little bit mad.

So, Miss B said the reason is that she can not get along with her mother anymore.  Totally understandable.  Miss B also has a younger step sister who has also moved out to go live with another family member because she can’t get along either.  And I don’t really know Crazy all that well, but I can tell that she can be pretty evil.

Of course, Crazy’s story was pretty different.  And I’m sure there is truth being told by both Miss B and Crazy.

When we bought my car in 2004 I was so excited to be owning a new car.  I have never had a brand new car before, so it was just thrilling.  It came with the usual warranty- 3 years or 36,000 miles.  At the time we were doing a lot of driving to see Miss B and we put on the 36,000 miles very quickly.

Now 5 years later I don’t worry about it much.  We live in the area were our family is.  Plus my car has been very good for us.  We took of it, and it took care of us.  I just hope that it lasts a few more years, that would be great.  With the economy as bad as it is, we all need to take care of our stuff.

When I was a teenager the only thing I wanted for my birthday and for Christmas was clothes.  Now Miss B is 17 and she usually wants clothes too.  The problem with that is that she has 2 sets of parents, 4 sets of grandparents and all sorts of aunts and uncles.  It might be hard to imagine, but she can only use so many different outfits.

We don’t see Miss B as often as we used to, and if you read my blog then you know things have not been very great lately with her.  But, I do not believe in giving Christmas presents based on behavior, so I am still planning to spoil Miss B just like I always do.
