Sher, you forgot a verse...
Try to remember before all the whining
When life was hard and we weren’t mellow
Try to remember the grumbling and pining
By every gal and every fellow
Try to remember before all the whining
The Aisle 6 cleanups and kids that bellowed
Try to remember and if you remember
Then Whine On!
Whine On, Whine On, Whine On, Whine On, Whine On
Whine On, Whine On, Whine On, Whine On!

Got a letter from dk's school stating that she will not graduate next spring unless she does x, y, and z - and takes a course during her study hall and passes it with an A.... I will of course show her this letter when she gets home... if she comes home, that it... she often goes somewhere else and calls me later if she feels like it. I've asked an attorney friend what kind of money is needed to file "unruly" charges against my kid. Haven't heard from him yet, but am afraid I'll be looking at money I don't have to make her do as she "should"... "should", as in, getting thru her last year of school long enough to turn 18, graduate, and move the hell out of here.
She really already knows this stuff. She's been told by me and her dad that she has to do x, y, and z or she'll be in high school five years... But so far that hasn't scared her into action.
I'm really upset that it will likely cost me big money, which I don't have, to haul her unruly @ss in front of a judge just to get her to listen to me!!!
I'm trying hard to stay in the moment and be thankful for what I have, but it's hard when I've felt depressed and anxious since getting today's mail. I don't WANT her here for a fifth year of school. I want her out on her own next summer. I am praying about this, since it's out of my league, but am depressed and anxious all the same.
I need your prayers, for my sanity and patience and the ability to let God handle this... which right now, I'm really lacking.
sent an email/fax of this letter to her dad and he essentially told me to "blow it off"... so he wants to be the parent of choice, fine. too bad she doesn't want him to be her 'parent of choice'. I am praying about this even now...

I sure could use my own private lawyer to get her to do things she's supposed to do... either that, or an armed guard...
I can see a ride to school happening this morning, she's not even out of bed and the bus comes in ten minutes...
I hope the rest of the day goes better than this....
the bus just came and went and dk wasnt' on it, she hasn't even gotten out of bed yet!

Good one Least 
Our condo exterior is being painted, I have painters outside my windows most of the day and am beginning to feel like I live in a fishbowl. Hope they're done soon, I don't like men looking in my window.
