Hello! It's been a long time since I had anything to post about. That was a good thing...things were much better around here for a while. Here comes the BUT!! I am beginning to get annoyed with SD15 again. Sometimes, I really don't even know why. Just the thought of her annoys me sometimes. She is still lying to me about things, mostly little things now, which is an enormous improvement...but it still bothers me, I can't stand it...just tell me the friggin' truth already! Also, I have decided to keep my bath stuff in a caddy and tote it back and forth with me.

but yesterday showed signs of patterns repeating themselves. SD15's bf just moved back to the states. We went out of our way to make sure she got to spend time with him every day the week before he left. We talked to her about how they could still IM and email and skype...even told her she could call him once a week for 30 minutes. I think that is very generous of us...especially since, IMO, teenagers have no business trying to have long distance relationships.

I had told SD that she could go for a walk, supposedly she was going to go find a place to sit and draw (I'm not really buying it, but whatever), and I told her that if she decided to go hang out with her BF or anything else she needed to call me and let me know. She had been gone for about an hour and a half when the phone rang. I couldn't get to the phone because I was taking care of something for my 5 year old, but I looked to see who had called when I got done and saw it was SD, so I called her back (this was in less than 5 minutes). She didn't answer.

Today, SD15 is supposed to work the afternoon shift at her job, which starts at 1230 and goes until 530 in the evening. At 1210 she is still asleep in bed, so I go wake her up and tell her to get up and go to work. She grunts at me, gets up goes to the bathroom, heads back to her room like she is going to get read for work, then comes back and tells me she doesn't feel good today and doesn't want to go to work. I tell her that is fine, but that she needs to call her work and tell them that. She throws a hissy fit! Whining about how she doesn't want to do that, can't I do it for her?
