Yup. I've been slacking on the blogging again. I've been having technical difficulties. I've been depressed. My ex-gf has been depressed. My oldest daughter Blair has been depressed. My younger daughter Nina has been depressed. :P My friend Rocky called me on Friday and while I'm talking to him Blair calls on the landline and is sobbing. Her mom (adopted) doesn't understand about her being on an emotional roller coaster because her mom has never been pregnant. Which is, of course, why she adopted children. But this makes it very hard for Blair. Plus her mom doesn't seem to want anybody to know that Blair is pregnant since Blair is a senior in high school and only 17. Which I can understand. However I also understand it from the other side because I've been there. Almost anyway. I was 20 when I got pregnant and out of high school, but it's still a traumatic thing for all concerned. Took me quite a while to talk her down but I think it's ok now. She was supposed to call back and let me know if she could come for Thanksgiving but I haven't heard back about it yet. With all the trauma and then Nina had me take her and a friend out for pizza and then over to the mall and stuff, I didn't get a chance to call Rocky back and then forgot. I'll have to call him next weekend. Nina's been quite difficult lately She's been "dating" this guy online who lives in Tennessee. Nina is 12 going on 20 and this kid is 16. I don't actually approve of this but I let it go because I'd rather she talk to me about this relationship than go behind my back, which I have no doubts she would. The problem is that it's gotten to the point where she sobs if she hasn't been able to talk to him enough or if he hurts her feelings (the way teen boys do without thinking). Once the sobbing is done then she takes this all out on my and grandma. She had a fit today about being grounded over not doing her homework. I ground her from the computer cause grounding her from anything else doesn't do anything. She ranted and raved and had a fit about how I don't care about her feelings and how I'm hurting her because the only thing that makes her feel good is talking to her bf. I told her she was only hurting herself because she was the one who was proving to not be mature enough to deal with her homework and her bf so until she gets herself together she's off the Internet. She's got an after school detention Monday for homework me and her grandma have been hounding her about for two weeks. TWO WEEKS. I don't feel that the punishment is too severe here. Plus, this might get her thrown off the Scholar Bowl team. They don't like their members to get detentions. Guess we will have to wait and see.
