Spring oh spring

If we do not seriously see some spring and get out of this house, I swear we may all kill each other.

add to that a 14 year old girl who has been cooped up since last weekend with a horrible cold, who is PMS'ing.....

and I pretty much want to run away from home.

Add to that a huge argument this morning, about doing the work she needs to make up for being out of school most of the week = grounded from using her cell phone.
Add to that - logging on to parent portal this morning to discover - the B/B- average she had at the end of last quarter ( Her best GPA ever in Jr Hi, and we praised and rewarded her well for it.....she only missed a B in one subject by few measly points) - this has now become D's in three of her subjects. Can you say = INFURIATED. No cell phone til the grades are up and I will start ticking off her other priviledges one by one, if I don't start seeing progress. If this it what it takes to get her to take it seriously, then so be it. This is one smart girl. But every time she starts to do well, she stops. Cold. We have done everything we can as parents to help her, guide her. The only thing I can not seem to tap into, and now I have drawn out the big guns, is her self motivation. I thought feeling good and feeling successful last quarter would help. But obviously instead of continuing the trend she chose to roll over and play dead.
I am ready to throw my hands up and give up. How can a child that gets A's and B's in math and science do SO poorly every where else?
MAn do I need to dig in some dirt. Instead I think I will go downstairs and sand the heck out of my new old buffet.
