My daughter is officially one of us. I sat her down yesterday to talk to her about it; tell her that I'm a reincarnate too. Can't say it went over well. She blew up at me for keeping the truth from her, from her fatherfrom Lydia and stormed out of the house. Thankfully she just went to her father's instead of doing something rash. I've decided to let her stay there a few days, cool off a little, given that I have the distinct feeling that if I brought her home, I'd be getting the silent treatment anyway.

After everything that has happened, I had been hoping to regain some sense of normalcy-as normal as things will ever be now, that is. But life apparently isn't that kind.
Lucy's been having strange dreams and hearing a voice in her head. Either she's a reincarnate as well or she's become schizophrenic-as much as I've dreaded the possibility of this happening, I'm still forced to say the former is the preferable alternative.
I'm at a loss for what to do.

Lucy's slowly coming back to herself-at the very least, she's at least speaking a little. She's still in no condition to go back to school, however. I've taken a leave of absence and I'm just going to homeschool her for the remainder of the year. It seems to be the best option.

We buried my daughter yesterday. It was, without a doubt, the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I still can't believe she's gone.

Well, this is an interesting development: my ex-husband has apparently eloped. With the girlfriend that I previously mentioned is a former student of mine. After only dating her for two months. I don't know whether to laugh or shake my head sadly in disgust. Actually, I suppose that's a little hypocritical of me seeing how quickly I wound up walking down the aisle with him. Although our dating period still lasted longer than a mere two months.

I'm leaving for New Hampshire tomorrow to spend Thanksgiving with my father. It's only to be a small family event for a change-just him, the twins, and myself-as neither my brother nor my sister will be able to make it this year. I have to confess to being a little relieved in a way-even when they're there I usually end up doing most of the cooking. So, a few less mouths to feed isn't the worst thing in the world, although it would've been nice to see them.

Lucy and Lydia wanted to go to the midnight showing of the new Twilight movie this evening. I said absolutely not. It's a school night, after all. Now they're sulking and ignoring me other than to shoot the evil eye in my direction here and there. But I'm not caving.

It's only seven o' clock, two hours into the party, and I do believe I'm going to have a migrane by morning if those girls don't stop screaming . If it wouldn't humiliate Lucy and Lydia, I'd go right downstairs and tell them that they need to shut those horror movies off before they scare themselves senseless. Nightmares might not keep them up, but the headache I'm starting to get from their screeching is going to be keeping me awake, that's for certain.
Next year they can have the horror fest at their father's.

So I finally met my ex-husband's new girlfriend. And she used to be one of my students. Two years ago. Is this the part where I crawl into a hole and scream myself hoarse or do I just curl up and die? I don't believe I've ever felt more like a dried-up old hag.

My daughters have succumb to the mania surrounding the Twilight series. Not only is the incessant talk about it irritating, it upsets me because I've been very careful to instill them with the ability to tell a sound piece of literature from a piece of overly-hyped cult nonsense. Now it seems that it's all been for naught. I'm praying this phase won't last too long. I blame their father's new girlfriend-she apparently talked him into buying the books for them. I haven't even met the woman and she's already failing to make a good first-impression.
Might I add I use the term 'woman' loosely because, according to Lucy and Lydia, she's barely out of college, which makes her a child compared to my fifty-one-year-old ex-husband. I never would've pegged Dennis as one of those lecherous old men, but I learned some time ago that I don't know him as well as I had once thought I did.

Well, I know what I'm going to be spending my entire weekend doing-grading papers. Not that I actually mind it all that much. I enjoy seeing what directions students take with the prompts I give them. Although I'll never understand how some people can copy a paper word for word from another source and think I'm oblivious enough not to notice. Thankfully, that's only occured a handful of times, but it's still bothersome. Not to mention asinine, considering the fact that plagiarized papers don't exactly put me in the best mood for when classtime rolls around...

Once again, I find myself reminded of why I agreed to a divorce in the first place. My ex-husband is, to put it mildly, perhaps one of the most obsessive control-freaks I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. He's now expressed concern that I'm teaching too many classes and not spending enough time at home with the girls-which is hypocritical of him considering the fact that he's the one whose time, even on weekends when he has Lucy and Lydia, is all but entirely consummed by his patients. He seems to still think that just because I'm the mother in this situation, I'm not allowed to spend but a few hours a day outside of the home. I swear to God, this man is going to drive me insane if this reincarnate business doesn't get around to it first.

My girls are at their father's until tomorrow evening. I don't always know what to do with myself when they're not around and I'm not boggled down with papers to grade although I'll have plenty to go through soon enough. I'll probably just curl up with a good book in the end or watch a movie. Suggestions for the latter option, anyone? Preferably something where explosives or excessive violence aren't involved, if you please.

Well, I'm home from the hospital where I'd been confined since Friday evening after I collapsed Friday evening. I still have to put up with some lingering side effects, but I'll be back to teaching tomorrow. My ex-husband is insisting on keeping the girls with him until the end of the week, however, because he's afraid the house is still contaminated even though I've already washed everything down.

Had to cancel my classes for today. Nose bleeds and retching do not an effective professor make.
Now, if you all will excuse me I'm... starting to feel ...a little....faint........
current mood: nauseated
