Hey Mattie, You got a 16 year old that has to be reminded about school work also? Hmmm.... I thought I was the only one. If she put as much into her school work as her drill team practice she would be a straight A student. But, I'm still blessed she's a great girl.
I can see your point about not wanting to leave DD at home by herself. They may be "old" enough to stay by theirselves, but teenagers are known to have common sense lapses. I know from being a mother and high school teacher. They still need our guidance. It's a shame that you are having to worry about this. Divorce changes everything. I don't know about you, but I sure took my married life for granted. This single life has lots of hurdles to face, but we can do it.
Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. -- Bernice Johnson Reagon
