High School Drama Queen

I have one word of advise for all of you:

DO NOT EVER LET A HIGH SCHOOL AGED FEMALE RESIDE IN YOUR HOUSE, IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN SANE!

No really, I mean EVER!

They may look cute and seem to have very good manners and even may appear interesting. Well, they’re not. It’s a scam! They are very good at tricking people into thinking they are lovely little creatures, then SLAM-O, they unleash an avalanche of tears, hormones and hatred.

Teenagers SUCK! I’ve said it before and I will probably say it a million more times. I am just at the beginnings. Tal is only 14, but Lula is right on her heels at almost 11.

I’m not sure I can make it. If you don’t hear from me for any length of time, please send help.

Yesterday, I got the crankiness from her because when I woke her up at 7am, she asked me to wake her up again in 1 minute…and I didn’t. Are you freaking kidding me? I gotta get ready for work, girlfriend! Then when I got home, she bombarded me the second I pulled in the drive way about taking her some where the next night that is an hour from our house. Um…no. I am not about to drive home from work for 1 hour, pick her up, drive and hour to get to her destination, wait an hour and drive an hour back home…ON A SCHOOL/WORK NIGHT!

To top it off this morning, I got the full on teenager from HELL treatment. I didn’t wake her up on time (which is HER freaking responsibility to begin with!), the argument from last night was still on the top of her mind, and she just can’t understand why I loose my shit because she is forever stealing borrowing my stuff (hair brush, eyeliner, perfume, etc.) without permission, removing it from MY bathroom and NOT returning it.

She will make a great lawyer someday, but I am not having the arguments that she so desperately wants to engage me in. So, I said what I had to say and then ignored her. At which point, I swear to God!, she said “MOM” for the next 10 minutes straight, trying to get me to joust with her. Nope, not gonna happen. Thank God I had to leave for work.

She is SO grounded when I get home!
