Why

Why does life get so crazy sometimes?  Monday was my daughter's first high school golf tournament.  So proud of her for trying something new, and having fun, and finding a much needed outlet. 

Then a few days later she is in trouble over grades, and zeroes, and missing homework.............. and grounded, no phone, no facebook..............  and since I'm the parent who is here, I'm the bad guy.  I just get so frustrated.  I talked with her Math teacher, and he said what is holding her back is the missing homework.  ????  She could have a B+.  But instead, she has a D-.  I just hope she passes the class.  Worried that it is too late.  Too close to the final.  Too................  something. 

One day everything seems great, with so many possiblities, and then things start to crumble. 

Hopefully, she can work on all of this tomorrow, and then have her dad check over the homework, and at least pass this class. 

What am I going to do if this happens in two years and we are wondering if she will graduate?
