Some Peoples Children

This past week has been just crappy. Awhile ago our house was broken into by one of my daughter's friends. It was bad enough that she broke into our house, but she had to lie about it. I told her mother and all she cared about was something that was completely unrelated. How pathetic is that? Someone accuses your daughter of B&E and theft and you focus on something completely different.

I'm reluctant to go to the police as it means my daughter will have to give a statement and if it goes to court she'll have to testify. I feel that she's been traumatized enough. I don't want her going thru that. The kid is just going to ignore the little thing she used to call a friend. Hopefully the little thing will leave her alone, and hopefully grow up. But you and I both know that's not going to happen anytime soon.

The only thing I can hope for as a parent is that I teach my kids to respect other peoples property, to not turn the blame on anyone else and to own up to their own mistakes and wrongdoings. No matter how much I may gripe and complain about my kids I love them dearly and only want to protect them. Some times it means protecting them from themselves and even if they don't want protecting you just gotta do it.

That's my rant for this post:

School

Well I've started my Business Administration course at ACC last week and already we have homework and projects due. Oh boy!

One of them isn't so bad, a 500 word paper on what Organizational Business is and how it will affect me in the next 5 years, as well as giving 3 trends and what their impact will be. That one's not so hard and I have a week to do it.

The one that is worrying me is for my Canadian Business class. Everyone in class had to come with a business idea and argue for it in their group. Well I came up with a good one and didn't have to argue very hard for it at all.

Now you may ask what kind of idea is so great that it doesn't need to be sold to other people. That they like it when you just mention what kind of business it is?

Are you ready?
Really ready?

Wait for it.

A teen social/night club.

I mean how cool is that. A place specifically for kids 13 to 17 years old.Where we live there is no place for teens to hang out in the evening. Unless you count 711. So most of the teens in town wander the streets in groups getting into trouble and such. This place would have like a games area with pool and arcade video games. A dance floor with music, and a restaurant like area with a limited kitchen menu.

I'm not going to go into more detail here. Who knows someone may decide they want my idea. :P

I'll give more updates on school and such as I stop being such a slacker.
