KG's Hideaway

I've been running around this afternoon trying to get all my stuff done so Ryan and I can leave after her track meet tomorrow (to go and see DeMarcus) but I'm lagging behind. I woke up this morning with a sore throat and my head sort of feels like I'm under water. Kyra has been fighting the same symptons for almost a week so I guess it's just my turn. At least she finally seems to be feeling better. (remind me to write about what's going on with her and her mother.... and I THOUGHT we'd stopped all the crap between them!!!)

I snapped some quick ones of Kyra today in the front yard because she looked so cute today. I love the little outfit she had on! Now, for the backstory on her and her mom. Back in January, we sort of pushed Kyra to make amends with her mom, thinking that since her mom had gotten remarried in November- things might be a little better and will be easier to handle with someone else around (thinking that Kyra might feel a little less pressure on to be THE person in her mother's life) Well, as usual it didn't last long. Kyra started having "issues" and I'll pretty much leave it at that. I talked to Laura and told her that Kyra has become a "master manipulator." Imagine my surprise when Laura told me that Paul (her new husband) agreed! Now, I like Paul. He's young (only 27!!!!) but he's a good guy and I think his heart is in the right place. He's never been married and he doesn't have any kids but he's jumped in and is doing his best... BUT... he's known Kyra a VERY short time, so for him to make comments like that, bother me. But it seems stupid for it to bother me in this instance because he's right. I think it's bothering me because he believes that Laura never did ANYthing wrong and that we did everything wrong and attacked her and blah blah blah... you know the drill. And those and my feelings, not necessarily his words. Like I said, I like the guy. He seems to have a really good head on his shoulders but he's young and he just has no clue about the true history of this group. He might know what he's been TOLD, but we've already heard his version of what he's been told and we told him IN FRONT OF LAURA that it was a crock of shit and we had the court papers that he was more than welcome to read to prove it!

So, I get my new dishwasher, stovetop and double oven on Monday and Tuesday and I CAN'T WAIT!!! kdgr
