Well, It's No Wonder

Something else got me thinking last night. My daughter's boyfriend wonders why we don't want them lounging all over each other when they are together......it's what other teens do who are dating, he basically says. (I wasn't even allowed to have a boyfriend when I was 14 and when I got one when I was 16 my parents still weren't thrilled one bit with the idea.)

Well, I saw some pics from a recent youth retreat that my daughter could have gone on, but was invited to go somewhere else first. There are teen couples in some of those pics being snuggly with each other. No wonder Ash's boyfriend thinks its ok to do. One pic has one couple sleeping - the girl snuggled up on the guys chest.

Ash and her guy used to get a little too close while watching TV on the couch, but we've put a stop to that. They are barely allowed to hold hands now. But now I see why he would think it is all right to act that way.

I'm just a little irked

I wanted to write this somewhere, but I didn't know where, so I picked here to do it. I was reading a friend's blog comments and something bothered me. I don't want to make anyone mad, but.......someone made the a comment about the horrors of public schools. Children cannot be sheltered/protected forever. If you raise them right they will know the difference between right and wrong and be able to deal with the things that they see in a public school. I don't care if people want to homeschool their kids, but you shouldn't say do it so your kids aren't subjected to the horrors of things that happen in the public school system. It just bothers me that people put down public schools. I know things are different than when we adults were in school, but if your kids know what to look out for and who to stay away from, what's the harm? My daughter certainly did not come home everyday with a horror story to tell me. My daughter loves her school and is looking forward to going to the new high school this year. The principal is Judy Marcus and she is not going to take crap from anyone. Ok - rant is over.

Another Hole in her Head

ASHLEY GOT HER EARS PIERCED SUNDAY AFTERNOON WHEN WE WENT TO WINCHESTER! I GUESS WHEN SHE SAW THAT HER FRIEND BRITNEY FROM CHURCH GOT HER'S DONE, SHE DECIDED TO DO HER'S TOO. SO SHE ASKED IF WE COULD TO GO THE MALL AFTER WE ATE LUNCH SO SHE COULD GO TO CLAIRE'S. I ASKED IF SHE FINALLY WANTED TO GET IT DONE AND SHE SAID YES. SHE ONLY WINCED A LITTLE. HA HA. BUT SHE GOT A PAIR OF SILVER FLOWERS TO WEAR. I HOPE WE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THE NEXT 6 WEEKS OK.
