I just want to thank everyone who left such supportive comments and e-mails regarding Hayley and her problems at school. It's funny how none of us have ever met, yet when one of our children is hurt the "mama bear" in each of us comes out. We are more than a community of journalers....we are friends who care for one another, for each other's children and their well being....and I for one am so thankful for that. Hayley read through the comments and e-mails and felt so good. She said, "Mom, you know some really nice people. I wish we could all meet!" I do too sweetie....thank you all again, for everything! ((((HUGS))))
As you can see from above, I've included a picture of Betsy and her boyfriend. I felt bad leaving her out....so here she is in all her glory! I can't believe she will be a senior next year. Actually, they are already "official seniors", according to the school. The graduating class is gone, and they had an assembly outside, "welcoming" the new seniors. They had food and music and a general good time. I can't believe my daughter is in her final year of high school....she will graduate half year, which will be 19 years after I did. Holy smokes....19 years???? Where has my life gone? I don't feel that old!
Not much else going on in the JBCoupe household today. I FINALLY got some sewing done, as well as the ironing AND paid my bills. Yeah, I'm smmmmmmmmmokin. So, to reward myself, I do believe I shall hit the road and go to the mall. There are a few things I need to pick up....well, okay, I don't need them, but they will sure be fun to have!
Okay....my charge card and I are outta here....gonna spend some 'quality' time together. We need that....it's been a while!

What's that smell......could it be burning plastic??!! You go girl...I just LOOOVE shopping too! I'm so glad Hayley cheered up after reading those comments - you're so right, there are some amazing people in j-land (yourself included, of course!) and I'm honoured to have 'met' them.
Wow, Betsy and her beau (?David) make such a cute couple....you're happy I hope? It'll be 10 years since I left school.....time sure flies when you're having fun!!
Have a fab day,
OMG! Betsy's boyfriend looks just like Christian Slater!! WOW! Great picture of the two of them! :) Of course we are supportive here in J-land! Most of us are Momma's afterall and we hate to see any child hurt in any way. Plus we know how it feels to be the Mother of that child and the heartache it brings to watch our children suffer like that. Hope you have fun shopping!! My credit cards are maxed out! :(
Hugs and love,
Lisa
I feel your pain My daughter Tiffany graduates next year also..seems like yesterday I was 19 years old and in labor..........then a married young mom to a lil girl while all my friends were in college....NOW fast forward to 4 kids..dunno where the time has gone......
I'm so glad your daughter is in better spirits now. And yep I agree, he looks just like Christian Slater. I think it's the eyes. They make a really cute couple. LOL, have fun at the mall. Don't put too many skid marks on that credit card. Wow, a senior now. It's gonna be an exciting year for your oldest. I wish her all the best. I am very honored to be a part of JLand. Your all wonderful people.
Betsy sure has grown up since i started reading you. Her BF is a nice looking fella. My 17 yr old daughter will also be a senior. Hard to believe. Hayley is a strong and wonderful kid....i hope she finds a few new best friends soon who deserve her because those other snottypants sure dont.
hugs,lisa
she sure is pretty. BETSY. AWWWWWW tell Haley thank you for the compliments on j landers it is a nice place. yup Im needing some serious redo on me. Ya know the anniversary party ist his sunday well aunt flo came and Im so not ready to move and hurting so bad. this is my crunch days and the rain has still be going had a bad storm last night . well anyway.......... I wish I could go shopping with you. I so wish I could wel you hav ea good day and share us pics of your treasures you get.
From what I hear, you better save that credit card to pay for senior year!!! My sister graduated 2 years ago... I remember that she needed money for something every time she turned around!!! Sheesh. And I had thought all along that the money thing started when they went to college. LOL
Glad Hayley liked all the comments and that they lifted her spirits.
:o)

I hope you and your charge card had a LOT of fun! You deserve it! Sorry I'm late to comment about yesterday's entry. You should really be proud of wee one. Those other girls are a bunch of witches with a capital B!!!! Martha :-)

your two girls are just beautiful just like their mommy
;)
take care

I LOVE shopping!! Using my credit card makes me sweat though, but every now and again we ladies just gotta do that. Great pic of Betsy and boyfriend!! I missed Haley's entry and have been away from reading journals for like a week. It's a good day when housework is done and bills are paid. Just dropping by to catch up and say hi!! Hope you find lots of bargains at the mall! Hugs,
Lisa
Sorry I'm so behind. But I'm caught up now. Besty and her boyfriend look so cute. What happened to Haley happened to my son every single year from 2nd grade till last year. I know just what you must have felt calling the parents..and I know just how your heart must be breaking over this all. She's a good girl and doesn't deserve this kind of abuse and she's tough and I love how she has handled it all. Of course I have to think they are just all jealous of her. Look at her! But with girls...ya know even though I am one....this sorta stuff never ends. Even into adulthood. She has a bestfriend though...and she'll realize it someday if she doesn't know already....it's you!
I'm glad Hayley is feeling better. Great pic of your daughter and her boyfriend. Your daughters are so beautiful! Hope you had a good "bonding" experience with that charge card! LOL!

Hello! First time commenting here - I don't remember the last time I did any sewing, but I identify with the rest of your day! Your daughters are beautiful :) Joanie x http://journals.aol.co.uk/symphonyuk/Alifemoreordinary/
Very nice picture! Does Betsy know what she'll be doing after she graduates? I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to show Eler Beth your previous entry. I want her to know that she's not the only one who has had "friend" troubles this year.
