I hate when I get all geared up to journal or blog on a daily basis and then can't think of anything to write about. It's funny because during the day I will get the best idea about the most profound subject and then at night when I sit down to reflect, those profoud ideas either are gone, or they seem kind of stupid after rethinking. On the other hand, I do like going back and reading things I have written, no matter how stupid they seem because life changes so quickly and most of the time, I don't even realize that they are changing until I go back and think about how things were this time last year. And without written documentation, all I remember is the outline of what life was like. I don't remember the details. For instance, I know that last summer Bibianna didn't have a job and she and her friends didn't have cars or drivers licenses. I am sure she didn't sit at home all summer but I don't remember her being gone all the time like she has been so far this summer. I am not exaggerating when I say that she hasn't been home for longer than 30 waking minutes per day for the past week. This past week she spent three nights in a row at someone elses house. So on the fourth night when she asked if she could spend the night with another friend, I told her no. She asked me why not? (What else would you expect from a 16 year old?) Truth is, I don't really know why not. All I know is that I think she should spend more time at home. I talked to Joey about it and he agrees with me, although he couldn't really give me a reason why either. Well, after the no and the why not conversation, I told Bibianna to invite her friend over to spend the night here. She explained to me that because her curfew is 11:30 and all of her friends have midnight curfews, that her friends don't like spending the night over here. You know what I did? I asked Joey if it would be OK for Bibianna to stay out until midnight on occasion. It's only 30 minutes more. Really doesn't seem like much. What I don't understand though is that according to Bibianna, all they are ever doing is hanging out at someone's house so why would that 30 minutes extra make that much difference? I asked my precious that exact question and she told me she didn't want to talk about it. Hmmmmm.......
