Yes, Caroline did show up eventually, and she had been at her friend's house, I think. I am not feeling a lot of warm fuzzy feelings towards her right now. I love her, I am crazy about her, but I am not liking her right now if you know what I mean. I am just weary of the constant vigilance over her whereabouts and her school work. Just tired. Looking forward to the summer and the end of school, but not looking forward to even less of a regular weekly schedule. Wish we could afford to put her in camp all summer, but that isn't possible. Sometimes you just wish they were someone else's responsibility for a while, even though they are always ours on some level. This morning we had a big battle over the length of her shorts for church. I don't mind longer shorts for church (we live in a beachy community) but I do mind short-shorts and she proclaimed she had absolutely nothing else to wear except said short shorts that were beach attire only. Arrggh!! So we went shopping for appropriate shorts this morning instead of going to church. Why? Because after this morning I would have forgotten about this issue again until next Sunday an hour before church and we would be right back here again. So I said, forget it, I am doing this now and I don't want to here any more excuses for not going to church!! Enough said!
My mom is coming into town this week and I haven't seen her face to face in two whole years. I hope that her visit will be a good one and that my kids will put their best foot forward, help clean up the house, be polite to Grammy, and that we will just make good memories. Too much to ask?

I am happy to hear she was safe. I well remember MK during those years. {{{Hugs}}}
Oh trust me, I hear you. We had a good long stretch with my son where he was doing really well and now I feel like we are sliding backwards this past week or two with our ability to trust him, give him freedom, etc. It is so frustrating and tiring :(
I know what you mean!
