God give me strength..

The last 24 hours have not been fun here!

J decided that since she turned 18 on Saturday, that she didn't have to live here anymore. Now, yes she is 18 and technically an adult (yes, there was sarcasm there)....but instead of being an adult and telling us, she snuck-off. We had NO idea where she was!!!!!!!

Finally after calling all over town and dropping hints about getting the Sheriff's department involved to her friends.....she calls! Of course, she *67 the call so the number is blocked, but we are pretty sure we know where she is.

She said she didn't know if she was coming back or not. DH told her that she was 18 and he couldn't make her come home, but the door is always open to her. Of course, he also told her that house rules remain the same. Now, we just wait and see what she does.

My theory is that she thinks she can clean out her savings account now that she is 18, but she can not. It is set up that DH has to still sign for any withdrawals to the account. He is also going to call in the morning and make sure there is a freeze put on the account, just to make sure. We are not trying to be mean or to "steal" her money. We just don't want her to blow it on "whatever". It is supposed to be for her move to California after graduation.

I just wish she would talk to us.....if she truly wants out, then work with us to get her out to California (where her mom lives). If she is not going to finish school here, she can not graduate out there also. But at least we would know she was with family.

Enough for now. This wasn't what I originally planned to write about this weekend, but things change.
