- NEVER a dull moment. As in...don't blink or something crazy could happen.
The weekend included a runaway, a curse, a showdown, and the last shred of my sanity going right down the drain.
I swear...someone should follow us around with a camera....there is some great real reality tv happening every moment at our house.
The Runaway
Renee's friend ran away from home. To our house. Is she nutz? Our house? Most days I want to run away FROM our house...not TO it. I didn't really know what to do....not wanting to be in the middle of whatever dysfunctional situation is happening over there,when I have enuf of my own going on...but unable to say no you can't come here when the kid is clearly in need of a place to be. It all worked out in the end though. I hope.
The Curse
There is a new woman in the house. Lil' Miss Can't Be Wrong got the dreaded womanly curse Friday evening. We were watching TV in our room, when the door erupted in knocks. All kids knocking at once. I thought the sky may have fallen, or someone got stabbed. We were informed of the event. I sang a song I made up, "You're a Woman Now" and Apple reminded me of when I offered to make her a red velvet cake and have a party when she became womanly last year. I offered the same to Lil' Miss, but much like Apple she didn't go for it. I don't get it. :(
Then they ALL...all 5 of them went into the bathroom for a demonstration of Always with Wings. Angel or Devil, whom is 8 said she wanted to have her period too. I told her she didn't.
Since we were all synced up, and also Runaway whom was spending the night also had hers, Ripley was in a house of 4 hormonal, menstrating women. He slept with one eye open and wisesly didn't say much.
It was like a science experiment.
The Showdown
The morning following The Curse was met with shrieks and fighting. Lil Miss had a fit of hormonal rage, and decided that the mirror adorning the wall on her side of the room, needed to be removed immediately. At 9 a.m.
It was, after all, HER wall.
And it was, after all Apples mirror.
This could not be.
So they argued and fought about this.
They were also on dish duty for the week and hadn't done them the previous night. They were informed they needed to get those done before the parental units returned from working, at noon.
This caused MORE fighting.
There were some dreadful words spoken, some ganging up, an un-friending on Facebook and a frantic, upset call to myself.
This is when I lost it.
If it were a documentary I'm sure some ominous music would have played as I walked into the house to remove Apple and Runaway from the situation.
If it were a documentary, Ripley would have said in his interview portion, "I'm not sure what happened. I was at work. The Lady of the House seemed to have handled it just fine!"
Cue to my head completely spinning around a few times.
It took 2 days but, an apology was issued and they are 'back together' (as described to us over dinner by Devil or Angel..."Look, Look...they are back together now! They made up" )
I think this will be an on-again/off-again relationship.
Anyway, the weekend is over, and things have returned to 'normal.'
Normal.... meaning absolute and complete chaos continues.
;) The Lady of the House
