KG's Hideaway

Ok, today was just a waste of time. I'm so pissed off at all of the kid right now that I could just gnaw my own arm off!!!

I guess I should have known it wouldn't go well. Ryan had just gotten out of practice and Austin just came in from work. Lovely! At least Craig was happy with his Philadelphi@ Eagles jersey!

Today is Craig's birthday so I planned a family dinner at a restaurant where they all like things (you'd be surprised how hard this is to accomplish!). Towards the end of the meal Austin and Ryan started arguing like 1st graders and just pissed me off so bad... and I was already pissed off at Kyra for just sitting there and litterally saying NOTHING for the full hour before they started bickering. I was seriously pissed and I hated it that Craig's birthday was (semi) ruined. I mean, it wasn't bad but their bitching is really annoying and they both say the stuff that they KNOW will piss the other off!

And I really thought today would be good. We got the official notice that Craig's exwife is moving to Midland (blech!!!) at the end of the month. It shouldn't have any effect on us, really, because Kyra doesn't see her mother at all. But, both before we moved back here from California and as soon as we got back here we had to endure two custody battles that ended up costing nearly $25,000 between the California attorney and the Texas one. The only reason her move affects us at all is just that feeling that another custody battle is not ever going to happen because she's gone. I guess it's never really over but she'd never have a leg to stand on to fight us again. It may not seem like it should be a big deal, but if you knew all the trouble she caused by LYING to the court (thank GOD they didn't believe her!) you'd understand.

I really did think it was going to be a great day. Ah well, I guess you can't win them all!
