Day 13 - It is what it is . . .

Happens to be one of my favorite phrases, except when something is really wrong and you are trying to make the best of a bad situation. It is, obviously means you are totally connected with reality . . . the, "what it is" part is a little about concessions. I guess it all means let's try to find balance. Easier said than done when you are a single, working parentbof a teenager. No complaints really, but would love a little more balance.

And another thing, why is it that "NO" really doesn't mean no to a teenager. It means, "keep pushing until she says yes or at least maybe or I'll think about it." Man, no means no! Doesn't it? Since when do teenagers have the right or the inclination to push soooo hard? When I was a teenager, a century ago, I argued some, but fir the most part, I was too concerned that one or both of my parents would be disappointed in me. I clearly have not inspired the same degree of respect or fear, depending on your point of view.

Well, enough of this. I'll get back on track tomorrow. I want to be interesting, I promise. I'll get it :).

Bye for now!
