For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.  The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.       Song of Solomon 2:  11,12

dyk, ugh, don't remind me

dyk, funny how everyone who was so against higher tolls/higher gas taxes are suddenly mad that they got their way

dyk, and by everyone, I mean the 'numbers' people I work with. NOW they realize that they would have gotten off 'cheaper' had the tolls and/or gas tax gone through instead

DYK I have had one horrendous day today?

DYK It started with a phone call from Maegan's English teacher at 10am?

DYK She's failing English..she has a 58 in her class right now?

DYK We discussed what could be her problem...this teacher has no ideas/suggestions?

DYK We talked about the possibility of summer school and if she could possibly squeak out a D in English?

DYK The teacher says only if she does really well on her last exam?

DYK What do you do with a child that no amount of grounding/taking away privileges works for?

DYK We have canceled the NYC trip and we hope maybe we can get part of our money back, but we've already paid $900 towards the trip?

DYK Vacation plans will also have to be canceled if Maegan has to go to summer school?

DYK Not to mention the cost of summer school and the fact that the nearest school that will be holding summer school is 46 minutes away...one way?

DYK Ugh...can I just dig a hole for myself now?

DYK It's going to take a miracle this time, Nancy?

DYK I'll have to work really hard to come back from the state of mind I'm in right now?

DYK I can understand the strangeness?

DYK We will be getting together at my sister's house tomorrow to celebrate Mother's Day?

DYK Nothing really strange about that...but I really am not in the celebratory mood right now?

DYK I really have always had trouble hiding something that is bother me..especially from my Mother?

DYK She will know instantly that something is wrong, but from past experience, I cannot talk with her because in her eyes, Maegan does no wrong?

DYK And I am always the bad person in this?

DYK And I just cannot take that right now?

DYK So tomorrow will be hard?

dyk, first of all, I'm sorry you've had such a bad day

dyk, 2nd of all, I've taken 2 Tylenol PM's and we all know that makes me a little woozy.

dyk, I hate to say this...and don't take it the wrong way...but...I don't think she's completely the one to blame. Not that she shouldn't take the majority of the responsibility, but...

dyk, why is the teacher telling you NOW that she's failing?

dyk, I get that they are trying to make the kids more responsible, etc., but if you've been in contact with the school (or at least I *think* you've been in contact), she's been a good student in the past, and now she's not as good - that SHOULD raise a few flags

dyk, and if the school isn't sending home progress reports and decides that May 8th is the opportune time to say something about her grades...well, is she really the only one at fault? She's seen her grades all year, the same as her teacher, so if the teacher isn't saying anything it's easy to pretend/believe nothing is really wrong - regardless of what you and Bruce have been saying, remember parent's don't know jack :-).

dyk, the part that is really bugging me is that if you've been in touch asking about her grades and all...why is it NOW that they've decided to tell you that she's in serious trouble of failing?

dyk, maybe I was spoiled because I had teachers that were always on top of us. Sure, kids still failed but it wasn't due to lack of communication on the teacher's part. Even in my senior year English class, we still had to bring home progress reports and have them signed...by the end of the year, some of the students were legal adults and they still had to do it.

DYK I will be spending Sunday afternoon at the movies...alone?

DYK Bruce & Maegan are taking me out to eat first, but Maegan isn't allowed to go to movies, so Bruce will take her back home?

DYK And Bruce told me today that I should pick a place to spend a few days..and just go?

DYK I really don't feel like I can right now, tho?

DYK Major work stuff going on right now and I'd rather not be away during all that..but it's very tempting and as soon as I figure out where I want to go, I probably will plan a trip?

DYK Has to be somewhere I can drive to tho...so I'm limited as to what I can do?
