I was at Becca's house the other night singing CMT karaoke revolution, and she totally rocked that song "Boot Scootin Boogie". I am constantly amazed at how great a singer that girl is.
So, hmmmmm. What's been going on for the last 3 months? Work, Kiri shit, Husband shit, and yet even more work.
Kiri is absofucking driving me crazy lately. She thinks she can do whatever she likes, and when I try to ground her, she just ignores it and still does whatever she likes. EVERY morning is a fight to get her ready for school. I usually drive her the couple blocks to school as it is on my way out to work, but she is always late. When I tell her to hurry, she yells "Shut up" or "I KNOW!!!!" and that pisses me off, so I yell back, and then I end up running late for work and in a foul mood. God, teen girls are beyond aggravating.
I'm heading to Boise, Idaho this month for training. I'll be gone for a week. Then I'll be gone for a week the beginning of April for a conference, THEN I'll be backpacking for a week at the end of April. All this should be fun and exciting, but all I can think of is "What the hell will my daughter be doing while I'm away?" She has no respect for Kendall, so thats no help. I don't know what to do with her. I'm completely drained, and feel like saying "go ahead and fuck your life up". But of course I can't say that, so hence the stress and worry.
Maybe I'm stressing too much. I mean she's not pregnant, and I don't think she's on drugs, and her grades are excellent. But what if I let my guard down, and she gets pregnant and becomes a meth addict? What then?
So, that's my life. Riding herd on a 15 year old brilliant beautiful strong-willed stubborn girl. Lord help me.

She's so lucky to have you for a mom--even though she won't realize it for about 10 years.
Keep the faith baby. You're doing awesome.
Par-tay tonight!
Yay you blogged!!!!!!!!! I missed you so much and I cehck every chance I get!!! To ease your mind, it's not just teenage GIRLS, teenage boys suck just as much(if not more b/c you kind of expect moodiness and bitchiness from girls) I just keep telling myself, this to shall pass and then I'll be complaining that he is off to college and I miss him!!!
Can't wait to see you in June!!!
I don't know if you are religous or not - but if you recall the story of Abraham taking Issaac up the mountain to sacrifice him.......good you do! Well I have always contended it was not as much faith as everyone says because I'm thinking Isaac was a TEENAGER and I would have gladly followed God's instruction and taken my eldest up a mountain to sacrifice her! (Not that it is any reassurance since you have Kiri only - but it gets easier with each of the following kids).
Hang in their and remember the following sayings:
Grandchildren are God's rewards for not killing your child as a teenager.
Teenagers is why some animals eat their young!
LOL - She is a lucky kid and will realize it some day!
