it's 11:47 am, have you had your daily dose of drama yet?

The remnants of last years drama are raising their very ugly heads again.

Stephanies house was egged Monday night. They called Hannah at four in the morning, then called the house, twice. It woke Larry up and he went to the front to watch the truck slowly drive down the street, then drive out.

It seems Stephanie and Hannah got into a really big fight a month ago. The fight was because Hannah found out Stephanie R. kissed Stephanie P.

Hannah had liked Stephanie P last year during the height of the drama at school with Ashley.

Now, Stephanie P is dating Ashley M. My Ashley lived with Ashley M during one of her outings. Ashley M is the one who kept her guitar. She has no life of her own so she must impale herself into everyone else's.

I can tell you exactly how this happened. School starts, they are all together again, Ashley M starts whipping up drama, the fight between Hannah and Stephanie R. happens, Ashley M sees an opportunity, and the drama ensues.

It is funny to me, I am not even home yet the drama continues.

It's reassuring to me that I am not and was not the source of the drama, like I was once led to believe. It reassures me that I am not, in fact, "crazy".

I had a thirty minute conversation with Trish, Stephanie R's mom this morning. She is not being allowed to go to Homecoming this weekend. Not my punishment, and tried to assure her as much as I could they would be watched (she & Stephanie's Dad will be out of town).

Most of the crowd Ashley hung out with has moved on, there are only a few that remain. This was exactly the reason I did not want Ashley back before she left. The drama would have started much, much sooner.

I shake my head, I have no idea how this will shake out. Stephanie P's parents turned her over to aunt & uncle when she was five, drug addicts. Ashley M's mom comes home to her vodka and smokes watching the soaps she has taped during the day.

Larry says the one common thread, bad parents. I ask, then what happened to OUR Ashley? No answer.

I found out last night our Ashley called him upon arriving in Chicago. She chastised him for not seeing her before she left. Stated he had all kinds of chances. Told him she would never come back and he no longer had a daughter. She was crying, then hung up on him.

He had not told me that. He then went on to say he did what I wanted him to do, not ever see or talk to her. Umm, Dr. Who? Wake up.

I NEVER, ever said that. My only point of contention with the trio was for him to support me in our decisions. For him not to shift the blame to me. For him to make sure she understood what he was saying, which she clearly did not.

We have much to discuss ..... a lot ...... If he truly thinks this is the source of our problems, there is no short answer to reconciliation.

I am hoping to have dinner with him Saturday night while Homecoming is going on.

We need to talk.
