The next time I am stupid enough to 'volunteer' to baby sit a 13 year old with an attitude... please remind me of how STUPID of an idea it is.

One more day then SO gets to deal with his darling son all weekend.

I swear to god, if the child was female, I would be tempted to lace all food items with Midol to see if that helped.

Clothes- Check and thanks to you ladies for the layered look idea, we worked with it and she has new 'high school' clothes that do not make her look like a stripper but these same clothes are 'cool' enough she is walking around here with an ear to ear grin. FSD and DD kinda bonded over back to school shopping. FSD is a wanna be fashion queen so she could give DD pointers on what was cool to wear in HS and what was too young. The too young didn't matter when it came to Animal though, she found a t-shirt with that Muppet on it and it was a had to have in her book!

Sorry for blog hogging. First blog was just a mini vent regarding fskids BM. This blog I need you ladies help with.

For those who don't know the history, I recently became the guardian for a 13 almost 14 yo girl. Her parents died in a car wreck and their wills named me to care for her. Me, the woman who had no kids and both maternal and paternal sides of the family were fine with that.

For ease of posting from this point forward in all posts "S" is now DD. That abbreviation seems to mean Darling/ Dear Daughter and that is a good way to describe her.

There is a reason that beauty companies make hair products for different races. And last evening I figured out why...

I am taking S to get her hair done today. Braiding lady said to run pink lotion through her hair and let it set. So, FSD, S and myself all did mini make overs last night while the boys went to see transformers. Hair, nails, face masks.
