Was sitting here doing some reflecting on the week so far and found myself starting to smile. Didn't know if my face muscles remembered how to do that.

Here are my bright sides...

1. It is so wonderful to have my bathroom SD16 free. I actually put my things back in there and put them all over the shower. (SD hasn't showered in dad's bathroom since she got kicked out of mine.)

2. SD is leaving tomorrow. Need I say more?

I guess SD16 colored her hair blue-green which has now stained my tub. DH is mad (not sure if at me for making him aware or SD for causing it). I have not said anything about it because I am utterly and completely pissed off.

Now I know DH will probably play it off with SD as not a big deal so no expectations, no disappoinments. I will just give the cold shoulder and silent treatment for a couple days.

I will make sure she showers in his shower the rest of the visit.

I guess DH called Puke last night and BM announced to Puke while on the phone with DH that she has planned her Christmas with her kids the same weekend that Puke was supposed to come to DH's. This means that Puke will not be here for my family's Christmas.

Looking like DH may be going to get Puke on Christmas eve night. He originally told Puke he'd come get her Christmas morning to which I told him that I am not happy about that as I would like to he able to spend all day Christmas with him.

My family's Christmas has been scheduled.

Puke is supposed to be here for it. I really don't mind that she'll be here. I do have some ground rules because she has a tendency to push the envelope on things and lose any manners she may have had. That isn't going to fly when we are hosting my family.

DH will be responsible for keeping Puke in line. If he doesn't, I will be very disappointed in him and will be sure to tell him so in addition to Puke not being invited next year.
