Valium.

I got a call from school today. The Kid and his best buddy were beating on each other with their backpacks before class yesterday and didn’t stop the first time their teacher told them to stop. They did the same thing this morning but refused to stop after she told them to stop a second time.

So they both had in-school suspension today with extra work and they didn’t get to attend the school’s Halloween party. When the principal told me, I just laughed and said it sounded like stupid kid stuff.

Oh, golly!
It was stupid kid stuff. But there’s a consequence, and they have to deal with it.

Daughter just turned 18 a couple of weeks ago. She’s a HS senior.

Tonight she and 2 of her girlfriends are on the LSU campus where there is an annual huge Halloween block party. She was supposed to go with her boyfriend, but they had a fight so she’s with 2 girlfriends.

Tomorrow they’re headed to New Orleans for Voodoo Fest. The 3 girls. I was so worried about them going alone, I bought the boyfriend a ticket to go, so I’d feel like they are safer. But now they’re fighting and he’s not sure he’s going to go.

I’m not gonna sleep ‘til she gets home tomorrow night.

I’m sure they’ll be OK. But I’m just worried sick. I keep checking the ATT “family locate” by cell phone - I’m not sure what it will tell me, really, other than she’s in the general vicinity of where she said she’d be.
