"dyk and OMG the registry - they registered as if they were a young fresh out of college or high school couple that HASn'T been living together for 4 years and didn't already buy a new house that is completely packed with stuff"
"dyk b/c it's how they do things and try and suck other people into it and I have a precarious line to walk with letting Sean still be invovled but protecting me and the family from their crap"
"DYK if M does lose band, are you able to replace it with something that kinda forces her to focus on school work? I assume her band practice is after school -- rather than band, is there a tutor she can go to, or an after school study group of some type?"
DYK I would love to do something like this, Sue?
DYK But at this point, it would have to be something that doesn't cost anything...or costs very little?
DYK We just cannot afford any of the tutors or services I have looked into in the past?
DYK But yes, if she loses band, we will probably be making her spend the equivalent time doing school work for us?
DYK What I will probably do is speak to all her teachers and try to get ideas from them as to what I can have Maegan doing in that extra time that will go along with their lesson plans?
DYK That is a very good suggestion, Sue...thank you very much.
DYK We certainly don't want that extra time to be spent idle?
"DYK well, get it right -- I was relieved when she graduated . . . . . no more calls to the principles office, no more bad reports. Uuuggghhhhh . . . . ."
DYK Oh Sue...that's horrible?
DYK I never had that trouble, but I can imagine how I would have felt if that happened to me?
DYK At least (and I keep hoping and praying it stays this way), Maegan is not a discipline problem at school?
DYK All her teachers always love her and tell us that she's very sweet and helpful?

DYK I wonder if the groom's family has tried to talk him out of marrying someone that has been married previously 5 times?
DYK My inclination would be to steer very far from this whole situation?
DYK I can definitely see why you have such a problem with all of it?
DYK Any news back from your friends about crashing at their house?
DYK If the friends said 'no', then I would certainly use that as an excuse not to go?

"dyk I think my book club is going to do The Help for September/October. We do a new book almost every 3 weeks.
dyk I am glad this is sticking!"
DYK Yeah!
DYK I'd say I would send you my copy, but I still haven't finished it yet!
DYK It's over 400 pages and I just passed the 300 page mark, I think?

"DYK it almost sounds like Maegan is afraid to succeed?"
DYK That may be a good bit of it, Joy?
DYK And if so, I have no idea how to deal with that?
DYK I do know that Maegan will do almost anything to be 'included' or feel like she fits in?
DYK I wish she wasn't so hung up on that?
DYK I just did a look through her room while she was gone to a special band practice this afternoon?
DYK I found a book she has no business reading (says she got it from Bruce's Mom) and the check I wrote for her band fees that was due on Friday?
DYK It really does no good to question her about these things since the answers we will get won't be the truth anyway?
DYK I guess it's just time for consequences since talking gets us nowhere?
