KG's Hideaway

5-15-05 10:43pm

I did basically nothing today. I didn't wake up until 1:30, but I didn't feel bad about that because I didn't go to sleep until almost 6am. Craig's snoring is getting bad and I can't sleep very well when he's snoring. He also has sleep apnea and was prescibed a CPAP (continuous positive air pressure) but it bothers him so he won't use it. Great.

So anyway, we watched a little bull riding, and channel surfed waiting on the finale for Survivor. We were pulling for Tom so we were happy when he won it. I couldn't do it. Not even for 100 million. They kept showing those huge ass rats, and there is no way I'd go to sleep with those things running around. Blech.

So now, I'm ready to go back to bed. I've got a cold on top of having severe allergies so I feel like shit, mostly. I hope I feel better tomorrow because Craig is taking me to the Colonial. He got grounds passes for the whole thing but I guess he's only going tomorrow and Thursday when he has to host some of his clients on the veranda. He can't go this weekend because of graduation and Ryan's basketball tournament. I kinda feel bad for him, but he refuses to miss a single event of the kids' if he can make it.

I also need to set up a time with a counselor at Tarleton. We've got to get all our ducks in a row before he heads off to college. Tarleton is just an hour away so I can get to him quick if I need to. My mom was going to get him a mini fridge and a microwave for his dorm but all of the dorms there have them so I guess she's going to get his bedding. He's enjoying the excitement leading up to Friday night.

Kyra, on the other hand, appears to be nonexistant in this house. I've gotten where I just let her be alone. Her counselor says we shouldn't react to that behavior because she will see the rest of the family talking and cutting up and she'll eventually want to be a part of it. Yeah right. I personally think that this behavior is a manifestation of her hurt, anger and lack of feeling important to Laura, but I've had enough of it. She's still refusing to see Laura which pisses me off. I agree with her that Laura needs to 'fess up to everyone about the lie she told after she slapped Kyra. That's really all Kyra wants. Laura's mother called Kyra a liar, so Kyra refuses to talk to her and blames Laura (rightfully so) for ruining her relationship with her grandmother. Don't get me wrong, Laura's mother was WRONG WRONG WRONG to call Kyra that, whether she was lying or not. She could have told Kyra that she was sorry that the two of them were not getting along and could have found a way to support both Kyra and Laura. She's a f'ing bitch... just ask jet.

Alright, I'm off to la la land! Nighty night! kdgr
