Complicated day. Lauren ran late getting out on time even after a 30min, 15min and 10min warning. Pissed me off. They're 16 and it's not my job to nudge them along. Made it clear it's not to be repeated. Decent AM w/meetings and work engagement but still spend more time in response mode than closing off to-do's. Had a parent/teacher meeting w/Tommy's teachers about his performance issues. I Find it frustrating. I do all I can to give him the ability to succeed but I can not and will not force him to focus, yet the reality may well be that this is the path he'll take until something inside motivates him to do more than he's doing. If he cared as much about this as football, photography, diving, etc., he'd be doing better. But at 16 he's not unique. I'll continue trying to motivate and encourage. My PM irritation level is high. Everything's annoying the fuck out of me.
Gratitude: Jen's wonderful ability to let me be and not take my irritation personally.
Goal: Wrap up some open tasks tomorrow.
Anticipation: Getting through DMV tomorrow, hopefully quickly and without a hitch. Right.
Listened To: The Highly Sensitive Man
