I had a talk with my daughter and reassured her that I want the very best for her. Told her that the rules were for her safety and her well being. She agreed, and then gave up her cell phone willingly and didn't ask to take it to school the next morning. But this morning I asked where her phone was and she said she left it in the bathroom. I believed her and so I took her to the bus stop. To my surprise she lied. I feel like shes playing me for a fool. A part of me wants to SMASH the phone and a part of me is scared she will rebel even more so. There is a lot more to the story than what I'm able to write. I'm doing my best to talk about as much as i can right now. DailyStrength is all i have as far as opening up to others go.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
take the phone away and put it somewhere she can not access it. Tell her it is gone and when she has pulled her weight and you feel she has made amends for what ever she has truly done then you decide it you want to give it back. I wish i had the guts to do that with my son. But I didn't and now I realize what a mistake it was. And that my friend is a long story. If you ever want to chat just send me a message. I am agood listener even though my problems are big, I deal with others better than my own.
Take care
