dyk although I am dreading much of this trip, I am very excited to see my friend Pam (from high school) tomorrow

dyk she is taking most of the day off work and meeting me at the Met

dyk and I am looking forward to seeing my dad and stepmom, even though I know this will not be dad at his best. I can't believe that it has been almost 2 years since I last saw them.

"dyk I know coworker is up at the school at least once a week b/c of his DD. She is a handful. And they have blinders on."

DYK It's definitely not normal to need to be at school that much?

DYK I don't think it is normal to need to have contact with your child's teachers more than a few times a year?

DYK At least that is what I would like?

DYK We decided last night that Maegan's consequences for not studying and making such a poor grade on her science test will be to have to sit out the football game on Friday night?

DYK We won't take her out of Saturday's competition because we feel it wouldn't be fair to the rest of the band?

"dyk, a silver lining of sorts - at least the teachers have started communicating with you. Maybe this combined with the therapy appointments will help get her in line.

dyk, I can only imagain how bad things are for you and Bruce"

DYK Yes, I seem to have cooperation from her English teacher as well as her Science teacher, but I have yet to have any cooperation from Social Studies, Algebra, or PE? Her other classes I don't really care that much about?

DYK And I don't know what her missing the football game tomorrow night will do for her band grade, but at this point, I think it is important that she understands that the consequences are real?

DYK And as to how bad things are here...you have no idea...

DYK There are even a few things going on that I don't feel like I can talk about just yet...but it only cements the fact that I think we're on the right track seeking professional help for her?

DYK Needless to say, Bruce & I are both beside ourselves about all this...

"dyk I have to find a way to enjoy the enjoyable parts and still do the mouring that I am going for. "

DYK Please don't worry about finding that balance, Jamie.

DYK It will happen...naturally...
