This has been a horrible week. I hate house guests, and it is worse when one keeps having childish temper tantrums every day:flare: :flare: :flare: I am sorry that our buddy is leaving tomorrow, but his girlfriend is lucky I haven't tossed her out of my house. I've heard no "Thank You" or even a "goodnight" in the entire time she has been here. Like every other morning they are back in my son's room arguing, again, about whatever she is butt-hurt over now. I think it is more she doesn't like having to share attention, since we've been catching up and our friend also plays with my kids a bunch. I have no excuse for the rudeness. Last night, I cooked an exceptional dinner of homemade parmesean garlic bread, salad, and clams steamed in garlic, white wine, and butter. My husband thanks me, or friend thanks me in front of her and she remains quiet. She has had the nerve to complain about the bed they used, I know it is a futon and not very comfortable, but come on... it is a free place to stay. Plus it isn't that bad, I've slept there a time or two when my husband and I have had a bad fight. She has had an all expense paid vacation at the hands of our friend and us and all she can do is complain. I spent more than a $100 over what I normally spend in groceries and I've yet to hear a thank you for free food and a place to stay. Now I don't know about everyone else, but the way we were raised is that this is just common courtesy and I'm not used to having someone disregard this social standard. Basic rudeness combined with the fighting is driving me crazy, so I'm ready to see them go.

On a more positive note, Harry Potter releases tomorrow and I can't wait. I've shuffled school and everything so that I can spend time this weekend reading the book. Otherwise I'll dawdle on writing my final for my class next week and read the book instead. Other than that there isn't much going on in life. I've still found no time to write and I think I'll hold off until after I take my final. Then I have two weeks of no school, and I hope that will be enough time to pick up the thread of my story. My main problem is that I was working on the third chapter when everything went crazy. Now I've lost the picture in my head of the world and people I was writing about so I am going to have to put that in the trash and start over. This time, I'm going to try and write the details down so it is easier to pick up. The keeping it in my head method has failed so I need something different. I hope to find more time soon.

Take Care,
Meg
