jb - it was partially the 'nati part of your name, but also you mentioned Kings Island and the Bengals.
lc - thanks for your input as usual.
Last night was a pretty horrible night. I stopped by the W's apartment to pick up our D and when I got there, D was doing fine and seemed to be in a good mood. I hung out for about 15 minutes and when it was time to leave, I said something about homework and she had a meltdown that lasted about 45-60 minutes. She cried, yelled, kicked, and complained about several items. Most notably was her being stressed about moving AGAIN in the near future.
(I can't remember if I mentioned it earlier, but the W announced the other day that they are moving into a new apartment soon after only being in their current apartment for 3 weeks!)
D was also upset about her grades falling. She has been a straight "A" student until this year and now she's not doing so well.
And the D complained that she hates us all being apart.
We tried to calm her down and eventually I got her out of there and we ended up having a GREAT evening at the house. She was very affectionate this morning and gave me several hugs. I think she enjoyed being back at the house for one night and perhaps my strong, steady, upbeat demeanor helped as well.
