My oldest daughter will be 15 in a few days and just graduated from 8th grade. Paige is growing up so fast and turning into a full-blown teenager right in front of my eyes. Overall, she is a great kid and has her moments just like everyone else.
The graduation will soon not be forgotten! We had tornado warnings as the ceremony started; then got ushered in and out 3x before it could get started. I even discovered that my former High School has a basement. I just can’t believe that I never discovered it when I use to trek around that school.
Here are photos of how pretty Paige looked!

There is only one thing worse than dealing with teenagers, dealing with the ex-husband! I try so hard not to let this “man-boy” get to me and try to remember deep inside there is a good person in there. He is more unreasonable to deal with than the kids! The funny thing is that he creates his own messes and I refuse to clean up. I think that is what makes him so mad; I won’t clean up after him. Then again, don’t be a dumbass and claim all the kids on your taxes even though the divorce papers state “who” you can claim. Yes, you will have to pay the government back; you took credits that you were not suppose too!!!!
Then get this…. After all I had to do to prove to the IRS who I was able to claim and who he was suppose to claim, he had the guts to ask me for a portion of stimulus check for the extra kid!!! It cost me more than that just to file my taxes…
The real “kicker” was when he called me a bunch of filthy names in front of the kids and decided to prove what a man he was by kicking my van. Nice!!! Happy Father’s Day!!!

Yeah, dealing with Ex's can be a real bitch. "Sybil" can have the "Man-Boy." We don't need either one of them. Good riddance!
