Yup still here....cannot find a place that is resonable-because with the salary
being chopped 40% it really does make a huge difference! So I need to get through the Holidays and then really hope that there will be a job waiting for me in January! Then on the house hunt again! Ughhh.....I love her been friends 27 years but it can be draining with all the divorce stuff/custody stuff going on!

Well, I have less posts than the both of yous.
I'm about to leave for the gym. Meeting with the trainer. Then school. Oh joy! But next week is finals and then I'm off for a MONTH! Party at TanHo's!
I hope your all having a great day.

Did I share with you when the teen lost her retainer the 1st time? I think so but here's a re-cap of the whole incident up until the present day situation:
She lost the retainer at the beginning of November. It's her bottom one, the one that she has to wear 24/7. Especially important since she's missing a permanent tooth to come in where the baby tooth was extracted. She claims to have removed the retainer to eat lunch, allegedly placed it in the case (something I've never actually witnessed here at home) and went to the bathroom Upon her return, she alleges that the Mexican kids (no disrespect to any Mexicans here whatsoever. I'm using it as an adjective) at the table next to theirs STOLE the slobbery retainer out of the case and left the case. Ummm hmm right. I don't believe this story, neither did Mr. GT, nor did the orthodontist.
She is grounded as of the moment we found out about the retainer.For an undetermined period of time. Plus, I made her hand over all of her baby sitting money to pay for the replacement. It cost $350!
So we get an appointment for the impressions... it takes 2-3 weeks to get the new one made. All the while her teeth that we have spent thousands on (even with insurance) are moving daily. They put a rush on it and we had it back in 2 weeks. They gave her a BRIGHT PINK CASE to keep it in so she wouldn't lose it.
This was Tuesday November 22 mind you. On Saturday November 26 after Mr. GT & I went to look for a kitchen table for the new house (we did get one. Used though I wanted new... this one is great. Perfect in fact until Mr. GT and my brother dropped it on it's edge and dinged it but that's another story) we came in with some of the chairs and the teen tells me to go read my facebook messages. I was like WHY? I don't have time, what happened... we're going o get Chinese after we unload the van. Guess what? Yes... she post the 2nd retainer!!! Not even 4 days after getting the replacement!!! She thinks it fell out of her pocket as she walked back from her friends house. She said they were eating pizza and that's why it was out of her mouth. I do not know why it didn't go right back in her mouth after her last chew :crazy.
She looked in her room, all up and down the street, had my brother look at the cemetery (don't ask... she went with a friend to visit someone's grave) and she even raked the whole front yard. The friend and her mother searched their house to no avail.
So... 2nd impressions taken the day before Thanksgiving. Still waiting for the 3rd retainer. Mr. GT took her to her appointment so I could go to the school for the boys T-day feast to help out before it happened. That must've been a fun ride... the teen and Mr. Gt . Perhaps this will make her think about not losing THIS one. He said the doctor could not believe it. He just was in total shock that she lost it so soon. I guess he felt some pity for us since he's only charging $175 this time. Buy one get the 2nd half off.
She is definitely grounded because of this incident. That means no friends, no mypace, no Facebook etc.
STILL WITH ME??? It gets better...
Sunday morning I turned my laptop on before going to yoga. It went right to her myspace page! She was on my computer while we were at the concert. She didn't even turn it off, was in sleep mode all night and she was still logged in.
I and Mr. GT were in disbelief at this. She totally disregarded what we said...and disrespectfully was sending out messages laughing about "not really being grounded".
I, in a fit of evilness decided to send out a bulletin using her account since it was still open (I don't know her pw)... knowing all of her friends would get it:
This is what I sent:
She said a bunch of people came up to her yesterday and told her about it. Saying I was ridiculous and they're glad their mothers are not like me and I'm a bitch. I think I accomplished my objective to totally mortify her -> And... I would do it again. In fact, I posted it on FB in case anyone missed it on myspace.
After all of this... can you believe she called after swim practice and asked to eat over her gf's house???
I said no. Be home in 20 seconds .
