Got home from work, man things are challenging me right now.

One of my favourite students did a real stupid thing. He was on my Vb team and the captain and was amazing as I was falling apart, thats when i found out about the A. Anyway, jsut the other day, he was at a track meet and at night , skipped curfew, went downtown to a bar. Then tried to stiff the cabbie for the fare at 3 am.

Since I am the athletic director, this has fallen on my lap for the discipline. It has me so upset. He is such a nice kid but has gotten in with the wrong crowd lately. I just got back an hour ago to visit him. He is devestated by his behavior and has been suspended from school sports for six months.

I used to talk to my Wife about stuff like this but no one to really confide in now. Miss that as well.

Sitting at home trying to figure out how to get my oldest son to do his homework. He has shut down and doesnt care about school. I have taken away privledges but he doesnt care. Refuses council of any kind.

And my pump for the pool wont work. Damn what a day! Could be much worse though, my wife could have left me, oh yeah, she did.


She did text me today about the guitar she bought for upcoming bday for oldest son. She didnt really consult me about it as I told her that my buddy thought it wasnt a good buy. Old me would have said, " I cant believe you bought the guitar despite me telling you that it wasnt a good buy".. New me: " I hope he likes the guitar, it doesnt have a whammy bar which he likes but im sure he will love it" Maybe not even mention whammy bar. Just be positive. She wants the 200 bucks, ( my half) as soon as possible. Could money be that tight?


Tomorrow will be better
