X Bitches

Miss Katie is in Seattle visiting the X, and if I could, I’d drive out there right now and rescue her from the X’s evil clutches. The X is an awful person, and she and Miss Katie don’t get along at all. The X is a selfish, self-centered, egotistical, BITCH – can I use any other adjectives? Nope, BITCH just about sums it up. A rose by any other name would still be a BITCH if it was referring to the X. The X couldn't even be bothered to take time off work to spend with her daughter - she had burned up all her vacation time flying cross country last month to attend a concert. Bitch.

I hope Miss Katie makes it through this visit unscathed – so far she’s spent most of her time babysitting the X’s sister’s two little brats. For free. Funny, I thought Miss Katie was a child, not her indentured servant. The X rented out Miss Katie's bedroom to a friend of hers, so Miss Katie is stuck sleeping on the floor. Doesn't this sound like Cinderella's family? (Only Cinderella's stepsisters were better looking than the X is...)

Deep breath, Thomas. Must remain calm. Must keep reminding myself that there’s a reason the X and I live so far apart. Must remember that we all know who Miss Katie really likes living with (most of the time). Must remember that come October, both Miss Katie and I won’t have to deal with the X BITCH much more.

Ah, that’s much better. I’ll be rescuing Miss Katie in about 2 ½ weeks, and then she’ll turn 18 in October. There’s no turning back then. For those of you stuck with an X BITCH like I have, my sincerest sympathy. Especially if your kids are involved.

Hang in there, Miss Katie. Vati will rescue you shortly.
