Yeah! Now, enjoy life again!!!!

Moni

Good, Kathleen!

Yay!!! Now don't you start feeling one bit guilty!!!! Not one bit.

You and Sola can now enjoy yourselves and each other's company.

Doing the happy dance for you Kathy. It will be wonderful for you to have a peaceful household.

YAY!!! Ding Dong the brat is gone!!!! Yes, do not feel guilty!!

Now you can breathe easier, glad she's gone...

Man, she's a user until the bitter end! I'm glad you didn't give in. Now you can all relax and have the good times with Sola that Liza wouldn't allow.

Yay. I'm happy for you, Kath. For all of you!

I'm glad she is gone for you. I think people who take these children in are very special. I couldn't wouldn't do it.
I hope you've seen the last of her

You must feel relieved to have that over with! Glad it worked out to have her go elsewhere.

Like.

:-)

Later Sola came in to ask for help adding minutes to her Tracfone and I asked her if she felt sad about Liza going. She said, "uh....a little bit but a little happy". I think she was being nice and is a whole lot happy.

I just tried looking for tickets for a later date to Wicked and there are none, it's no longer in Cincinnati after this weekend. I'm so po'd! The only tickets available for this weekend or this week appear to be $300 seats.

It won't fix anything, but maybe Liza remembered her manners and was trying to be nice.

Wicked is awesome. You might check with the theater and see if you can get walk-up type tickets at the last minute for seats that haven't sold. I can't remember what I've heard about our local theater, but I think they have reduced rates at the last minute for tickets that haven't sold. If the thater is too far away from where you live, it might not be worth it.

I'm glad Kath... do NO feel guilty!

I'm sorry about Wicked!
you could come out here and watch NutCracker! lol

Abdella, it's about a 3 hour drive so don't think that will work. I may call the theater tomorrow and ask if there are tickets though. Ticketmaster does say there may be other tickets available with limited visibility...or there may be 5 seats that aren't all together. There was still going to be 5 of us because one of Lauren's friends asked to join us.

Kat, not sure the kids would want to see the Nutcracker. I thought about Celtic Christmas, it's in Cincinnati but only plays on a day I have to work. Alex would really like it, it likes that kind of music. Not sure about the other kids, though.

Good News! Now you can go back to enjoying your family & Sola without the stress of having that little instigator in your home. I bet ALL the kids are as much relieved as you are. In a couple of days, the bad memories of her will be replaced with the much happier ones you create :)

Ginger

YEAH!!!!!

YIPPEE!!!

Kath, I think you will sleep really good for the first time in a long time! I am really happy for you, you made a hard decision and triumphed in the end.

Many exchange students aren't in it for the experience, they are in it because they think all Americans are rich and will shower them with money.

Kath, what was the program you went through with the student exchange? Our students were from AFS.

Thank goodness.

Glad she is gone,whata relief for you. Wonder how she will make out with the new family when she shows her real self.

DD wound up with an exchange student last year when the girl wasn't getting along with the family's DD. Seems like the family's DD didn't think the student fit in with her and her friends. The exchange student had made friends with my GD, they were both seniors and as things progressed she asked GD if there was a chance she could stay with them. DD had never had an exchange student but said yes and did the paperwork and Maria came to stay with themthe last 4-5 months of the school year. She was from S. America and a really sweet girl. She even got her family to let her stay an extra month. Everyone really liked her and she really fit in well in the family.

good....

Just in time for Thanksgiving! Enjoy!

Gee! You got something to be thankful for on this coming Thursday.

There's a saying that fits. Good riddance!

And I definitely think you should tell the host organization about your experience, how she broke house rules, made messes, left wet towels around, etc. They could use the feedback.

Good riddance. You did her a favor by teaching her the lesson that rude behavior won't be tolerated, and people are not door mats. Hope the next person doesn't take her sh!t either.

Well now you have more to be thankful for tomorrow.Good for you for letting her go.As the saying goes,one bad apple can spoil the whole basket,and it sounds like she made your and Laurens life miserable.Glad for you that she's gone,and just a bad memory now.
Happy Thanksgiving,enjoy!!
Kathi

No Jannie, the saying is: "Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!"

Happy Thanksgiving, Kathleen, from our house to yours.

well I missed what happened but I'm guessing it was horrible...so glad she's gone and hopefully things will be better around your house!! You're a good egg for doing this Kathy...I could never do it...

Big sigh of relief for all of you, Kath, and Yippee! :)
