"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I wouldn't go that far. It seemed at the time like it could work out OK. Just because it didn't, doesn't mean it was destined not to.

I've seen so many of these situations go south in a hurry. In fact, Suzi had a similar issue when K-Bug was in high school and her friend needed a place to stay.

Not to be all critical of Suzi. I do admire the impulse to extend yourself and help people.

And yet - some people don't have their shit together and will just take and take in those circumstances.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The friend in high school was different and I'm the one who offered that time. We were going to be her legal guardians. It didn't work out but I don't regret any of that.

This time. I probably should have said no at the start. But I didn't. I am going to need to make her take time away from him to talk with me. Or I may need to just lay it out to him directly. I'm just so annoyed with their behavior this afternoon. K is a mutual friend. We had planned this afternoon as a way to spend time with her and it might as well have just been K and me. I don't think the bf spoke to K directly even once. Again my frustration level is high right now. I will talk with them when I can be a bit more level headed.

Added argggggg. She came out of her room for the potty and I beckoned her over when she was done. I started to bring up some of the issues and low and behold, he comes out to sit with us. A few minutes later I said I had something to show her in my room so I could finish my thoughts. Who knows where it will go from here but I don't think my issues were new ideas for her

Because she's been avoiding this inevitable conversation.

Good lord, a thunderstorm. I don't think I've ever heard one in December.

But I'm very glad it's not snow out there, we'd be talking in the feet. Lord, the mountains--but that's where feet of snow need to be.

Good lord, a thunderstorm. I don't think I've ever heard one in December.

It's going to be 68 here tomorrow. That's CRAZY.

After I bought snow boots at the beginning of January, we didn't get any snow for the rest of the winter.

I bought a new winter coat about a month ago. And it's going to be 68 on December 3.

I think I've found my superpower. I can manipulate the weather through shopping.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Can you come shop in my town?

What weather do you want? Tim really wants snow, so he's decided I should buy a swimsuit.

Warmth. Always warmth.
