To be over it
Hello,
could you please tell me what "get over it " means in this context?
Does it mean "angry"?
Thank you
Andrea Collier, a 51-year-old writer in Lansing, Mich., was elated when her kids finally moved out of the house. She'd loved raising them, she says, but she was more than ready to start focusing on her relationship with her husband again: "It was wonderful to really get a chance to get to know each other again as a couple—not a couple with kids, but a couple." They went out together more, bought grown-up furniture and recharged the romance that'd tapered off a little in the hubbub of childrearing. But that ended abruptly when both adult children, now 19 and 23, came home to save money on rent. Now Collier and her husband have stains on their velvet couch and can't schedule as many dates. "I'm so over it, I can't even stand it," she says.

Does it mean "angry"? You might think so, but it seems to have its usual meaning of 'be reconciled to it'. There is not quite enough context to be sure.
