Just thought you would all like an update on my late-to-school daughter.
Sunday she had a big day - out with her dancing friends from 1PM to 8PM. Monday she went to see Clay Aiken in concert (This *was* the thrill of her life) - 1 1/2 hours away. So she didn't get home until midnight. Her friend stayed over and they made the bus at her dad's house.
Yesterday, she IM'd me and said that she was going to try to get into bed early (she had bad cramps yesterday), so I was surprised when she showed up at my house at 9:30PM (her bedtime is 10). She still had to type something she had written for homework. She didn't finish typing until 10:45. I was angry. She was still walking around upstairs at 11:20!!! She came down to take some Aleve at 11:30 and said she was still up because she had to wait until she could take the Aleve (for her cramps). I told her she WAS going to be on time - and by golly, she was!!! She brushed her hair in the car.
I thanked her for being on time (but didn't go overboard). It was really quite pleasant. So, it IS possible!!!!!
