An email would have been OK if a talk can't be stomached.<br />She is a smart young lady and very much her own person so I know that it will all work out OK.Lozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513517402604501840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087502739566584714.post-4647951875477445342011-06-19T11:41:36.856+10:002011-06-19T11:41:36.856+10:00My kids left school before I wanted them too also,...My kids left school before I wanted them too also, but each of them were finding school boring and each had a job to go to, so I couldn't really say no. And they've all done well for themselves. Erin's plan sounds like a good one, I hope it works out for her.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087502739566584714.post-41525107411569738772011-06-19T00:12:25.353+10:002011-06-19T00:12:25.353+10:00Wow, you have so much going on in your life right ...Wow, you have so much going on in your life right now... new house, new job, kids... it's no wonder we don't hear from you often. Life can be a real juggling act at times, can't it?<br /><br />I am so excited about your new house, following the photo progression on R's blog. It looks lovely, can't wait to see it furnished and you there!<br /><br />My heart goes out to you on the death of Connie, our pets are like beloved children, and they hold a special place in our hearts. I too am sad that she had to depart in this way, but I'm certain she is running happy, young, and free in doggie heaven with her brother! <br /><br />I will always shake my head at ex-spouses who don't communicate about the kids. I know how hard you've tried to make that happen. What sense is there in her holding back, and it certainly doesn't help the kids any either. I wouldn't want her karma. While like you Erin's choice wouldn't be my preference, I will wish her well and hope that in the next couple years she experiences much of life and returns ready to pick up school and make a good future for herself. If she has any of her dad's survival instinct she will be just fine!Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.com
