Princess spent the first part of her college Spring Break with my parents. It was kinda like boot camp, cause Dad got her up every morning, and had her doing chores and school work. He and Mom made a deal with her that if she shows them her grades each month, that as long as they are Cs and higher, she can earn $50. Dad is also going to look into getting her an internship at his company for the summer. She got a full tank of gas, and a huge paycheck for all the work she did!

She seemed to take the news from Loca Grande in stride, after her mother bailed on her Wednesday night. Loca Grande then posted on FB about how she was taking time for herself now, and she couldn't worry about her kids- "they don't need me anymore, so now I'm free" she wrote.

Princess spent Thursday volunteering in my classroom and visiting Gibby at his school. When we got home Thursday night, she discovered that Loca Grande planned to come get Lazy Boye and take him to see a chiropractor the next day... She was pissed!

So the woman has money to drive an hour and half here to get him and take him to a doctor but can't meet her daughter for an eye appointment and the spa visit they planned? Nice.

And when she brought Lazy boye back this morning, she didn't even come in to see Princess, whose birthday is Tuesday.

I heard her talking to a friend last night, and she was saying how glad she was that she had so much family who cared about her. She was saying how she listens to her college friends' horror stories of steps and halfs, and how glad she is that her dad married me, and how nice it was that my parents love her and accept her and don't treat her any different than they would Gibby. "Sometimes they're more like my grandparents than my "real" grandparents!"

I keep going, because I love my husband, and I know its for the kids...
