DYK I figured I might have to ID that guy in the park so I tried to note a few unique things about him and the way he was dressed?

"dyk my kids participated in varsity sports and if they did't have the minimum grade requirement they couldn't particpate in sports. That was incentive enough for them."

DYK I am afraid of this too, June?

DYK Maegan's grades didn't go south until after marching season last year?

DYK Ellie's so cute, Jennie!

DYK But I can understand her reaction to avocado?

DYK I don't like it either?

DYK She must be saying, 'can't believe you all eat this stuff'?

DYK When I first started feeding Maegan solid foods, I would have to shovel a spoonful in, then follow that with her bottle so she would swallow it?

DYK If I didn't, it came back out, every time?

"dyk what will happen in the future if M doesn't learn repsonsibility now? If she's not motivated now to do better, do well, respect her talents and do what needs to be done to acheive.... then in life, she's going to miss out on bigger and more important things than band"

DYK That is exactly how I feel right now, Jennie? Torn between not wanting her to miss the experience, but wanting her to learn the bigger lesson?

"dyk and that's why you are not mean.

dyk it takes a LOT of love and discipline within the parent to restrict, guide and make those tough love decisions and stick with them"

DYK I want Maegan not to screw up her future by messing up the present?

DYK If only she would listen when I tell her that the grades she makes now will effect what she CAN do in the future?

DYK And that if she will just apply herself during the school year, she won't be spending her entire summer doing extra math or extra math plus English, Social Studies and Science?

DYK I haven't really made her do anything this summer, but Bruce has kept her busy doing 2 math lessons 6 days a week, without fail?

DYK She has only done some paragraphs for me on a book of Dickens Christmas stories I had her read...that she hated?

DYK But she did well on the math (overall), so that is why Bruce says she has redeemed herself?

DYK I'll have to agree...she is doing really well in math?

DYK I'm just really hoping she can get it together this year? But my fear is that when school starts back, the drama will too, and with all the drama, her grades will dive?

DYK Ahhhh, this time of the year just makes me want to run away?

"dyk prayers definitely going out for your sister, Rebekah, and espcially praying that things turn out the least bad as possible, if bad has to be a given"

DYK Thanks Nancy.

DYK Unfortunately, bad is already a given.
