Oh Lala, Lala, Lala

what on God's green earth am i going to do with you. love you dearly & there's no doubt about that but sometimes you take to a place that makes me wonder if we are related @ times.

friday was movie night @ her school, we had a wonderful evening watching "the witches". i sat with vincent & she sat with her girlfriends all the way in the back. after the movie ends, i tell her to put on her sweater & jacket. of course, she tells me that her sweater is in her backpack so i look @ the backpack & see that it looks kind of empty. i open the bag & she admits that she lost it {as usual} of course I am pissed. wait, it gets better... while on the train going home, i realize that Lala doesn't have her hannah montana purse with her. i ask & she tells me that she gave me the purse while she was hanging out with her friends, i think for a minute & remember that she did no such thing because I had a benefits fair earlier & had a bag full of information & goodies. the only thing i had was her iPod because i saw her friend L with it & she knows that i don't want anyone listening to it. since she doesn't have it & i didn't have that meant that she left in school, you know i was pissed because she lost almost $200.00 worth of stuff in that bag. her DS & all her games, her lotion, wallet & money were in the bag. she's on punishment even if the purse shows up.

saturday mornings we are both in class, so when picked her up after class S {a parent & member of the PTA} handed the purse over to me. after i thanked her she explained how she came about getting the purse {everything was in there}. Lala's friend B saw some girl with the purse & told S that some girl had Lala's purse & was about to leave the school. S stopped the little girl & explained to her mother that the purse her daughter had was not her's & that she needed to hand it over.

yesterday, i find out from S that during after lunch she had to help Lala find her brand new winter coat because she missplaced it. on my way to pick her up the only thing i could was pray that she had found it. while looking through the lost & found, she came across the sweater she lost on friday. though she has both items, her punishment has been extended till January.
no DS, iPod, costume for Halloween, we are not going to see HSM this friday as planned, no tv, no music, will not participate in any activities @ school, and if she loses another thing--she can forget about Christmas.
