Wow, what a rough time for you. And it seems the stress on Evan was too much. I hope that the trip to Florida went okay and that the learning center helped Connie meet friends who were better influences!
Suggestions:
come. she and Glen (comma instead of a period)
$25. per hour after (I don't think you need decimal points if you are listing just the dollar amounts.)
a studend's grades (student's)

Thank you for the review and help with the spays. Carol was a good influence but Connie will continue to give problems for a while The learning center did help to an extent.

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Connie is quite a handful (or six!) I'm guessing she turned out well in the end--I'm in suspense as always over all four of them--keep this going until the present day. I'll be back tomorrow with edits.
Valerie, Connieā??s friend from school [COMMA] was a bad influence on her.

Connie was a handful for a while. She is the most caring and concerned child I have now. They all love me but she seem the most concerned. I always appreciate your edits.

One comma needed; that's it!
Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Beth, your memory is phenomenal. I could not re-count the years, much less all the special adventures that I spent with my two children during that same time period. The one advantage I had, was that I was able to work at home doing cost accounting for my father and his partner who was a builder of new homes.

Thank you Suzanna. My member is better than my children but after I moved to Chattanooga, I did keep a journal for while. The problem is there is almost too much information there. LOL

Sounds like your full life continued with all the issues with your children. I am sure many parents can re late to your daughter's grades and the trouble sh got herself into. Excellent writing that held my interest and is true to life. The music festival sounded like fun.

divorced, f so [this needs a correction]
and she thought she thought she would make better [needs attention]
Kids will be kids, but that doesn't make it okay.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Dick. I read over it and found a lot of errors. I think I got those two, but I appreciate you pointing them out.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Beth, as usual, I enjoyed reading this. Bringing up so many children, the worry that follows, and wanting to do well, makes me amiring you and your late husband. I only had the one and she was enough worry at times. She's done very well though. But that is a by de by, this is about your children. Found a couple of things:
denied any knowledgeof = denied any knowledge of
and were divorced,f so Don = remove the stray 'f'
Sosometimes spent the night. = So sometimes he spent the night.
I'm looking forward to what's next. Ulla:)))

I had to leave right after I posted this and when I got home I reread it and found a lot of errors. I'm pretty sure I found those but I will double check. Thanks so much for pointing them out. All of those children eventually grow, but I don't think we ever completely quit worrying. That's the price of being a mother. I do enjoy them more now.

Comment from nancy_e_davis
I wish you would put your children's names at the end and the order they were born with the friends they have, The fact that two of your girls have names that start with C makes the reading confusing for me. LOL I'm old.!! Always
interesting, Beth. Nancy:)

Thanks for the suggestion Nancy. I'll try to remember to start doing that. As far as friends they seem to change from chapter to chapter. So many have come and gone, that I don't remember them either.

Comment from royowen
Poor soul, you continue having problems with the kids, but they seem to be somewhere else most of the time, unsupervised, most kids are different will fall into trouble, and some will aways be good, no matter what, we try our best, sometimes it doesn't work out, but it works out in the end. Beautifully written Beth, blessings Roy
Typo : he might be (loosing) his hair. Losing? 2 : (Sosometimes) so sometimes?
3: And Don did (good) well?

Thank you Roy, It has worked in the end but each day bring something new to think about. Today I went to lunch with my son and learned that he may have the virus. He forgot to tell me he might me contagious. I sat in the sun for two hours hoping to neutralize any germs I may have picked up. I think I've caught those errors, but I appreciate ;you pointing them out.
