| | My daughter has been asked to prom by the senior guy she's been
spending time with - in school up until now. They met during the
school's theatrical production and since then he's been sitting with
her at lunch, meeting her at her locker, walking her to class, etc.
I'm
thrilled for her, of course, but there's a part of me that sure wishes
they'd started out with something a little smaller for a first date -
HER first date. And, I guess, now that the ice of a date has been
broken maybe he will ask her out for something between now and then.
She
has her jaw surgery this coming Tuesday. It's corrective and part of
her orthodontics, correcting her underbite. Six weeks of no solid
foods, though. At least they don't wire jaws shut anymore, that would
kind of suck for prom pictures. I just hope the swelling is done by
prom (3 weeks after surgery).
The papers for her court
appearance came today, from the incident earlier in the month I eluded
to *heh* My cousin, who's the state's attorney here, seems to think
she'll get community service or something and as long as she completes
it she won't even have this on her record. I hope so, but I also hope
that she learned something and won't do this again.
(This incident along with information on my step-dad's very sudden
passing were writting about in my LJ, you can read the post here if
you'd like: http://apckrfan2.livejournal.com/740.html
I told her
that I won't forbid her from seeing the friend she was with when the
situation occurred. I know from personal experience the more my mother
said "No" to somebody I wanted to hang with, the more I wanted to hang
with them and lying ensued. I really don't want her to feel she has to
lie to me. I'd rather know where she is and who's she's with even if I
don't care for the person. I did suggest, however, that if what
happened was the type of thing her friend encouraged her to do or
brought out of her, she might want to rethink who her friends are.
Overall,
she's a good kid. She & my husband butt heads sometimes, but my
step-dad and I did, too. We were both stubborn and testing our
respective limits. I'd never had a steady dad figure before my mom
married him when I was 16. Stephanie hasn't really either. Overall, I
just let them sort through things unless they both piss me off then I
tell them both to shut up. This doesn't happen often, but when it does
it's usually at Sunday dinner when we're trying to have a nice meal. I
don't like bickering at the dinner table, might as well not eat
together.
Anyway, have a good weekend!
