I'm Not Authorized!!!!

I just got a reality check today and it hurt my feelings! I was trying to verify that my DD2 had medical coverage.

As you know my DD2 turned 18 last month it was the happiest day.
However-----

Today, I  found the time to set on the phone to wait to talk to a person about health coverage for her through her state provider, after some time I finally was able to talk to a human and I was told I was not authorized to be given any information concerning my daughter now that she has turned 18.

I was told by the rep that my daughter would have to call back to get the information I was looking for.

Funny thing is when DD2 called back and found out she needed to call another office to get the information I needed.  Go Figure--The hoops we jump through to get what???
Hope you all have a Great Day!

Little Bird Came Home

I got a surprise phone call today, my Little Bird is coming home!

My oldest daughter tried to stretch her wing. She moved to Texas with her boyfriend and things didn't work out like she thought so. She had a job lined up when she got there, but when she showed up she had to be 21yo, so it didn't work. Her boy friend had said their house would be ready for her, (it was damaged by the huricane) but it wasn't. Everything seemed to be going wrong. Her second baby is due mid October, so she decided to move back home with Mom until the baby is born... I couldn't be more pleased I'm not ready to let her go and I sure do missed the grandson.

Have a great day!

Is it Bribery or Compromising?

Summer break is almost here. Yippee!!!!
My youngest DD has had a real struggle staying in school all day this last quarter (she's 16 and a Sophmore in High School). This in it's self is a issue for her.
Every day I drop her off at school, finding out later that she skipped out a noon!
It seems that all but one of her friends only have to go half days, so she feels she need to keep them company? I'm not sure where her head is right now.
We have been discussing homeschooling or working school credit. Even though DD may still have to take some online classes just to make up the lesson time that she skipped out on, I'm hoping that the idea while give her the incentive to finish out this year in public school.
What are you gone'a do???? I'm not giving up, I'll keep working with her

Have a great Day!!

Testing her wings

My oldest Daughter has been trying out her wings for about 2 years now. The first time she decided to leave home, she was pregnant and didn't want to let me know so she went to Texas with the boyfriend with not much money, I think maybe a 2 week pay check. After about 3 months neither of them had found jobs and they were living with his parents they headed back to Colorado. How they made it was a miracle, because of the mechanical shape the vehicle was in when they got back to Colorado I let them live with me. Both had gotten jobs, my daughter had the baby, things were looking good and then the boyfriend got home sick and wanted to go back home. Of course when my daughter gathered up enough money for a plan ticket she flew back to Texas. No car, not much money and a baby.
There was one more time they tried the move and that lasted about 5 months.
I think now she has finally made the leap. She left for Texas to see if her and the boyfriend can make a life together. This time she has a plan! She has her own vehicle, she has some office training, her GED, a little money in her pocket and a job interview when she get there. Hallelujah!!!
I'm going to miss her and the Grand baby, but why does she have to move so far away. I guess I need to stock up on frequent flyer mile or get a very economical vehicle.

Have a Great Day!
