without too many details, but we got some SCARY news from Princess 21 today. I'll try to keep this to the point. She has always had serious female troubles, from the time she started in 7th grade. Her cycles would sometimes last for 2 weeks at a time, and she actually went like that for about 2 years before finally telling someone, because she thought it was normal! Even before her period started, she would get UTIs a lot and yeast infections. We always figured it was a result of a not so nice experience that happened to her when she was much younger... ¿Comprendes?

The youngest of the skids graduates in 5 months! And 3 weeks after that, he leaves for boot camp. The other 2 skids have already decided to attend summer school, and won't be home much this summer. For the first time in 15 years, I will have a skid free summer! And the crazy ex will be out of my hair!

This has been a wonderful Thanksgiving for our family! "Other Son" got to come home for leave from the Navy! he graduated from his 6 months training on Tuesday, and has 10 days before he has to be at his new station. And he came to stay with us! "Other Son" is the best friend of my 2 SS. We found out last year when he and PITA were seniors how horrible his home life was, he was somewhat abused and abandoned by both of his parents, and we took him into our home. He made life pleasant and fun around here!

This past Wednesday, Loghead and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. It hasn't always been easy, but I am so glad I didn't listen to all those people who told me not to marry him or that our marriage would never last.

We work hard at it every damn day. And at least once a day, I want to strangle him. But he's the only person I want driving me crazy.

Princess 21 sent him a text message and wrote, "Daddy, Thank you so much for marrying Last Wife all those years ago. She is the best gift you could have ever given us kids."
