My children had a big fight today. Our 21 year old daughter picked up the 16 year old after school. They started arguing because he wanted her to take him to DunkinDonuts for a frappe or some such. Apparently she said no and this ended up with him getting out of her car in the middle of the road, while she was stopped behind a school bus. She called me frantic at work because she couldn’ t find him for a few minutes. As I was talking to her trying to think what to do, he walked up to the gas station where she was parked waiting for him. Then, it just so happened, that my Mother drove past and saw her car and she pulled in too. Oh Dear Lord at the drama!
I am home from work now and our daughter has left for a date. Our son is very contrite. HMMMMM?!
She apparently acted like she was going to hit him and was driving like a mad woman and…. oh, whatever! I am just glad they were not hurt. I think I am coping pretty well. I am going to let their Dad straighten them out. In the past, if something like this happened, I would still be screaming at them. I did not even think about gambling to fix or stuff or forget this drama. That is progress of a sort.
Still haven’t gotten confirmation about the job transfer, the VP is out of state so it may be week of waiting. I have no control over that, so I will just have to put that in the column of things that I will not be stressing over.
My house smells like cinnamon. (Cinnamon brooms are so cool to have at Christmas time) I am so glad I bought one!
