It has been a long day, although not close to Kendra's. I was up at 3:30am for a 6:30 flight to Nashville. Yes, there was a storm. No, my flight wasn't cancelled so off we went. Slid from the airport to the warehouse I was visiting. Got through my meetings there and decided no way I was driving to Memphis. Roads were still horrid and more wet stuff was on the way. Plus NJ is supposed to get slammed tomorrow. I changed plans and caught a flight back home. Unfortunately I will have to get to Memphis soon. Going to really mess up my schedule. I'm going to try and watch some of the game, but think I may not be able to stay awake. YIKES!!! Glad you made it home ok!!! X2!! Good call on turning around and going home! Stay there! |

We are not going to the Farm Show now. My husband is sick, he is staying home today. He said maybe we could go Friday.  That sucks. I was looking forward to sharing a milk shake, too! Maybe Friday |

She is on my lap, so my computer is on my knees and trying to type around a cat is really challenging. But she is nice and warm. |

Maybe Friday That would be good. We will be able to drive then. They are saying that Georgia might not thaw out until early next week. We don't have enough snow plows and salt trucks to take care of this mess. I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to make it to work at all this week. My street is a hill going up and trying to get out of here on a sheet of ice is a no go. Plus my son parked my car head first into the garage which would mean trying to back out of the driveway which is all uphill on ice. Not happening. I have a feeling that they will not keep the library closed all week, so this will be interesting. Being the boss of the branch will mean that I should get there is I expect any of my staff to get there. Ugh. |

Going to head to the gym to get a recovery run in. yesterday put me through the ringer. Coach pulled out 10x100 @ 125 last night. Made 5 and then had to jump to 130. Legs not cooperating post TT workout from Sun and spin yesterday morning. Kind of feeling lame that I didn't make the set, but that is how it goes I guess when 3 sports are competing for the same time. Haha Wow, you really were up early. |

Farm Show Food Food Court Farm Show Food Court One of the most popular attractions at the Pennsylvania Farm Show is the Food Court.

Below is a list of commodity associations and a list of products available during Farm Show Week. PA Bee Keepers Association – There are 1,700 registered beekeepers in the state of Pennsylvania.

Master 3479 Utah | Subject: RE: Ghoulies are getting stronger hearts, bodies, and minds in January! Ok Gouhlies, I need some motherly advice. I busted my 14 year old in a lie yesterday. She goes to a magnet school about 6 miles from our house. They supply a bus that takes the kids to/from a drop-off point, which just so happens to be my son's school. My daughter will occasionally call and say that she has to stay after school for a test retake, or make up a missed quiz, or have a short dance rehearsal. It bothers me when she calls as the bus is leaving the school, and when it's a rehearsal or something that she should have known about in advance. And I know she's not as innocent as she would have me believe. So, yesterday, she calls, "I have dance rehearsal, pick me up at 4:30. No, wait, 4:15". Easy enough, right? Hmm. Except I got there at 4:00, and found her walking towards the school, about a block away. Busted. She claimed that one of the dancers had to leave (or the high schooler who is doing the choreography), so they got out early. But she had enough time to walk a half mile with a friend. In 20 degree weather. Without a coat. Oh, and she didn't call me because she lost her phone (which she just got for Christmas), and apparently she knows no one else at the school, and is not able to walk into the office and use their phone  . I emailed her dance teacher. They did not have rehearsal. They don't start their FIRST after school rehearsal for another 2 weeks. Now what do I do? My knee jerk reaction is to take away all interent connections at home (which she'll then just use the school library), and not give her phone back to her when/if we find it (the account is already frozen, just in case), insist on her riding the bus to and from school every day. Period. Unless she has a signed teacher's note saying what time she was with them after school. But I really want to trust her. I want her to feel trusted. And most of all, I want her to feel like she doesn't have to hide things from us. What should I do? Edited by givemashot 2011-01-11 11:07 AM |

You have to make it plain that lying has penalties and one of them is that people will not trust you. Trust has to be earned. How she can do to earn trust is up to you but you need to make sure there are hard and fast rules about what is acceptable and lying is obviously not one of them with you. 14 year olds will push each and every line you draw with them. But they will remember that you did draw them. |

You gave her your trust the first time, now she has to earn it back. She won't like it, and she won't like you, but she doesn't have to. It's your to raise her to be the best person she can be and letting her get away with this isn't going to do it. |
