Sometimes…life throws you a curve ball
Yup…and sometimes it’s a really bad one too!
I didn’t get to watch my hockey game last
…it wasn’t televised…darn it. 
Well…as my friend eeyore would say, “Kinda sorta figures”.
That was only a minor detail however, this morning was a whole different ballgame.
I was informed this morning that my oldest daughter (yes, the same one who pierced her own ears last weekend) Dora, spent yesterday’s lunch hour in detention at school. This was something that I was not aware of…but then I found out the reason as to WHY this event occurred.
See, apparently my daughter is missing a few assignments in a couple of classes. So the teachers sent home a transmittal form to be reviewed by me and signed in acknowledgement of this matter. Well, needless to say I never saw these forms nor was I aware of ANY missing assignments…until this morning.
Not only did my daughter not give me the forms…but she also turned them back into her teachers without my knowledge and forged my signature on them as well!!
Yup…I said FORGED! Not a smart move on her part…nope, not at ALL.
So, once I received this note in my hand this morning and had my eyes opened to this situation…she heard a few words of shock, disappointment, and utter disbelief come out of my mouth.
Then she was informed that she is grounded until further notice…and that ALL homework will be done in my presence from NOW ON!
AND if she ever even thought of forging my signature (or anyone else’s for that matter) again…I would be more than happy to have her visit juvenile hall to see what happens to others that do that.
So…now I’m at a point where I’m just hoping…praying…that I can make her understand somehow that what she did was SO wrong and that it would’ve been much easier (and better) to have just told me that she needed help or didn’t get the assignments done to begin with. She has most certainly put herself into one hell of a predicament.
Geez…I KNOW that I wasn’t this bad as a child…in fact, I was a good kid. I don’t understand the logic in this at all.

I signed my mum’s signature in fourth grade ~ perfectly. It was aaaabsolutely gorgeous. I was so good at it I signed a whole week’s worth of homework (our parents had to sign each night) ~ I only got caught out when I got mum to sign again the next Monday and she flicked back.. awwwww man, did I get it for that!!! And hey, it’s not like I wasn’t doing my homework.. I just didn’t want to converse with my parents on the subject every single night. Ugh!
But eesh.. it’s a different kettle of fish here.. I hope she learns her lesson
The wonders of been a Mum to a girl
I’m sorry they didn’t televise the hockey game. I know how excited you were about getting to watch it. *grumbles*
Oh wow ~ looks like your oldest daughter is seriously testing the waters with you.
*shakes head*
I’m so not ready to deal w/ that sort of stuff. Ack!
Good luck w/ getting through to her, dearie.
thanks sooo much for understanding what i’m going through…. it REALLY means ALOT to me. *hugs*
My son did a lot of that in highschool. Think maybe she is going through another adjustment period that girls do all the time. Is she accepting all the hoopla of Mom and Jason being the center of attention with this wedding? Maybe it is a cry for help and she is feeling jealous. Never know with girls…but we are both girls and we know that
kids….what will we do with them???
have a good week
I hope she learned something from this! Goof Luck.
Speaking of life throwing you a curveball, it’s almost time for baseball playoffs! (Sorry hon, just needed a lighter subject…
)
Wow, that must have been a big surprise. Sorry to hear about that, but it seems you dealt with the situation well. Hope things are good!
Oh no. I’m sorry!! I hope it all works out though hun!
agree with Shannen.
My son signed my name on a failing math paper in fourth grade.. the problem was — he signed it ALL over the paper and circled the one he thought was best! ROFL! Needless to say, got a phone call to meet his teacher and show me the paper.. the rest is history and I don’t WANT to know how thick his high school file was.. NO telling.. But, he is a fine young man today.. So, I guess he got the forgery thing from me, because I perfected my Dad’s signature in high school.
