Thanks for thoughts all.
MidwestMom, your words are my current thoughts! May I email you and talk more direct? How do you do that on this board?
Her birthday is in late Nov and she graduates (if we can keep her in school that long) will be mid-Jan. At that point (if I can handle it 4 more months) it will be my way or highway. I so want to keep her in school for that diploma. Working with At-Risk couselor and her Dean at school today to come to some "modifications" to make it work. Whew! I thought High School in my days was tough.
Funny comment from GFGd today: Mom, I think I will call into work sick today (said about 1230pm).
I said: I said, umm, no. You have reponsibility to your kids (she works at daycare) in class and to your boss and other people working there. Be responsible and hold up your agreement to working there.
GFGd says: I know, but......................(ARE YOU ALL READY FOR THIS ONE----->>
I have worked 7 days without missing a day this past week and a half. Can't I take a break?
I NEARLY FELL OVER THE RAIL ON THE STAIRWAY I WAS STANDING ON!!!!
I said as I was laughing & trying to talk: No, GFGd, life doesn't work that way. Now go get ready.
(how i wish i could work 7 days and get some 'time off'.......!)
