The Desser

So, after worrying about this whole Des thing Ricky talked w/ her again and had me come over....and anyways. She's changed her mind and wants us to get married. She wants me to help her with all the girly stuff "like make-up and putting on bras" (Ricky's words, not hers). We've been so busy the past couple of days that I haven't even been able to see her until she came in for music...I was really shocked at how much I'd missed her. I mean, obviously I missed Ricky (duh!) but I didn't realized how attached I'd gotten to her. It made me so happy when told me she wanted me to come watch her soccer game. Even though it meant sitting out in the cold on Tuesday....but they won! I'll post some pics soon.

Evil Stepmother

So, Ricky and I were talking last night, and now I'm kinda worried. I've heard Dessy say that she "hates living here" and stuff when she's angry with Ricky, but I figured that was just 'cus she's not used to having to do any chores and thinks if she lives with her mom that she won't have to do anything. Yeah I guess I was wrong. He said that she said it other times too. I finally got it out of him that she doesn't want to live there if we get married. At the same time, however, she wants us to get married because she's afraid if we don't that I'll give her 8th hours and send her to the office all the time.

So apparently despite the fact that she likes me (which Ricky said she told him) I am still going to be the wicked step-mother. I was all happy too b/c when I went over to their house the other day she came out and gave me a big hug and stuff...and she even left me a note in my classroom that said "I love Rhonda".

I'm gonna feel really craptastic if I make Ricky lose his daughter.
