When Miss B was 10 we bought her an amazing doll house for Christmas.  It was one of the ones you build, paint, decorate, etc. everything by yourself and it was really expensive.  George had these great plans of how he and Miss B were going to build the house together.  He got the walls put up.  Now Miss B is about to turn 17 and other than the walls being up not much else happened with it.  Miss B loves to tease George about it. 

Maybe by the time Peanut is old enough to play with that kind of doll house it will be done.  I think I’m going to start stocking up on Miniature Accessories to go with the house.  I love the choices available at Zoolabees- they have the cutest bedroom and kitchen sets.  Actually of their stuff is really cute and reasonably priced too.

Maybe if I bug George to work on it he’ll have it done in the next 10 years or so

The day I had a real eye opener about Miss B was at her 16th birthday party.  Now I knew what she had become and I had my suspicions about how she was acting.  But, to really see it was an eye opener.  I don’t know why it was a surprise- I knew it in my head.  I guess seeing it was what broke my heart a little bit.  The way she acted, the way she was all over her boyfriend.  I knew if she could act like that in front of everyone- us, my parents- that I could only imagine what went on when no one was around.  Now Crazy is either in complete denial or thinks we are completely stupid.  But Miss B is either on a path to really messing up her life… or learning some hard lessons early that will hopefully turn her around.

You know who is really hard to buy for?  Miss B is pretty hard to buy for.  Like a typical teenage girl she loves clothes.  But I do not love the same clothes that she loves.  So that makes it hard to buy them for her.  And since we don’t get to see her a whole lot it is kind of hard to take her shopping.  She did email me some things that she wants for Christmas which I will be getting for her.  But I am thinking about also getting her Visa gift cards.  That way she will have the money to spend whenever and wherever she wants.  Sounds great to me!

So the other day I told you about how Miss B told us that she is no longer living with Crazy.

Of course Crazy has a different story than Miss B does.  According to Crazy, Miss B is still living with her but is spending several nights each week at her Uncle’s house.  There are all sorts of problems with Miss B.  She is failing at school.  She is sneaking out at night.  Crazy doesn’t have any control over her and doesn’t know what to do with her.  Miss B is smoking now too.  Part of the reason Miss B is spending so much time at her uncle’s house is because Crazy wants her away from a bad news boyfriend too.

I am sure there are true aspects coming from both Miss B and from Crazy.  Whatever the entire truth is, Miss B needs to be living with us.  We need to move back to our home town so she can come live with us without completely uprooting her life.  Or maybe uprooting her life would be a good thing.  Something needs to change.
