They have made up. GW2 gave GW1 the silent treatment until GW1 apologized for accusing her of eating the cake. And no food has gone missing since

Yay - They worked it out on their own! Now let's all eat cake. I'll take the chocolate.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

It's nice to see that you're providing the stability in these girls' lives that they were lacking elsewhere.
And they're acting like sibs.
The positive influence you're giving them is doing them both a world of good. Glad your little family's all meshing well and things are going smoothly. Sounds like GW1 & 2 have their sights on making their way in the world, as far as University and career choices. Wishing you all well.

Nope. They had another disagreement the other day. They weren't talking for about 24 hours. I told them to work it out or they were both going to sleep in the shed. They worked it out

The girl wonders are not only learning from you, later, they're learning from each other! Good job!

GW2 has been sick since she moved in at the beginning of July. (longer from what she tells me) Pain when she breathes and at night. I took her to the hospital twice and her doctor once. She went back to her doctor yesterday and they finally identified she has kidney stones! Poor kid!!! She goes back Tuesday and we will see how they are going to get rid of them.

Being sick with kidney stones certainly isn't helping her actions. I don't act the best when I feel sick.
Hope they get the kidney stones resolved and she can feel better.

If this is her at her worst, her best must be pretty incredible.

Aww, the poor kid! That's gotta hurt! Hopefully, the docs can get those nasties out of there in short order.

GW1 just got her first job with a pay cheque. She has baby sat a lot but this one involves shifts and taxes! She has been putting out resumes online, this is the first interview she got and she got it! It's a fast food restaurant. I'm so proud of her!

Congrats GW1.
My mother had kidney stones and she said it was worse than child birth. I've never given birth or had a kidney stone so I don't know if she was exaggerating. She was hospitalized until it passed.

She was hospitalized until it passed. Congrats, GW1! And everyone (well, every female) I know who has had kidney stones says the same thing. My uncle says they're worse than the back surgery he had.

The fast food job proved to be really awkward to get to with our public transit so GW1 found a job in retail that she likes much better and is much easier to get back and forth from. GW2 has been taking pills to disolve the kidney stones and they seem to be working really well. Boredom is kicking in being home alone all day so she is making noises again about getting a job. I'm letting boredom and lack of money motivate her. She is working on her correspondance courses for her upgrading.
I went away on a girls weekend last weekend (hot tubs, facial, massage, pedicure, lots of laughs, it was great) and I left them alone from Friday until Sunday. The house was still standing and the dog was alive when I got home. I'm counting that as a success

My dad always said that why they call it "work." I imagine FF must be pretty bad but some people like it. They say they are always so busy time flies. Plus, the schedules work with real life.

Ok, how to explain this succintly...I have paid for a cell phone for GW1 since she moved in with me. At first it was in lieur of having a house phone. When LGW moved in I got a house phone so now I was paying for an extra phone. So for Christmas I upgraded GW1's phone to a Samsung Galaxy with the keyboard (she said she wanted that) and told her I would pay for the plan for a year as her Christmas gift. When GW2 moved in with no phone I got her an IPhone phone with plan for her 18th birthday. GW1 got jealous that GW2 got a better phone. I told her she would have to deal, not everything in life is identical. (GW1 has a history of being very hard on electronics)
Last week GW1 was complaining about her "ghetto" phone and how embarrassing it is for the other kids to see her with this phone. I explained to her that it was my Christmas gift to her and how she was carrying on hurt my feelings. Instead of apologising she dares me to go through a whole day in front of people using that phone. I told her she needed to go away now, and I mean right now.
It turns out that she had dropped her phone this summer and something is rattling around inside it and it is not working properly. To get it fixed will not be covered under warranty. I said I'm not paying to get it fixed since she doesn't like the phone anyway.
After giving myself time to calm down I told her I will pay the plan for the rest of the year as I gifted her, but if she wants a new phone she will have to buy it.
Anyone want to buy a teenager?

You said GW1 was hard on electronics and she's trying to get you to replace her broken phone. She broke it, she has a job. She buys her next phone.

GW1 has a boyfriend now. And a job and I think is maintaining her honour roll status. I am so proud of her! The boyfriend seems like a really nice kid. He comes over once or twice a week and hang out downstairs. I do laundry those days GW2 is trying to do her upgrading through correspondance and that isn't really working well. I keep talking up the trades to her. There is a real shortage here and she is very good with her hands. I think she would be a great mechanic. But she has a prejudice about being "sped" (apparently that is the derogatory term for special education these days) I'm working on making her realise that mechanical talents are very legitimate and as valuable, if not more valuable, than many academic skills. She has also had 3 job interviews. They are opening a Target here and she feels really good about that interview. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her. She will be dressing up and handing out candy tonight. My mom was visitting last week and kept pulling these feasts out of our refrigerator that the girls and I didn't know were in there. They want her to move in. It doesn't hurt that she takes their side in EVERY debate and buys them stuff. Life is good at Casa Bloomer
