Damn that "mom" thing
Having maternal feelings sure can take a toll. I had a pretty good day, did some laundry, had a long hot shower, I looked fresher than usual - I think eating balanced meals for a couple of days has taken the "junk food droop" out of my skin and face muscles.
Gin came around and had Stephen help her burn a CD, somehow she can suck the energy out of me temporarily just by being here. I guess I keep wondering when some drama will start - she sure can conjure it up. No real drama happened, though and when she got the girls for the weekend she brought them by for a few and that was nice. =)
I took Stephen to pick up a few friends and took them to the movie, went to WalMart and when I got home Pookie had the door locked and his attitude on. After a bit of verbal fighting I picked the guys up at the theater and that wound down my day.
It really stresses me when Stevie and Toree fight because I feel like I see what the deal is and I'm sure that they aren't experienced enough to express themselves really well. They will go back and forth with being pissed off and withdrawing being part of the strategy just from their personalities and age appropriate behavior. I like Toree (not just because you can read this, either) and Stephen likes her too, but there are a lot of complicating factors that make things not-so-peachy for them. I need to keep out of it I guess so they can figure it out.
Good night/morning'
