We got Sherry's SAT scores back. She got 1500! We are so proud of her. She got the highest score at John Muir High School, Better than Jackie's twins; Josh only a 1250 and Travis got a 1350. Sherry got a better score than any of her friends too; Melissa got 1370 and Brittany got a 1400.
     Our President signed an Executive order regulating who can come into our great country. He knows how to keep us all safe. This will help keep more terrorists out and will keep more American jobs for Americans. I got into an argument with Mary next door. She said that this is not the "America she grew up in" and that we should not block people just because of the country they came from. She had the nerve to say this action would not keep us safer and would have bad consequences down the line. I told her she was an idiot. I told Alexa that I don't want her to hang out with Sarah anymore which caused a huge screaming argument between us. She said I shouldn't stop her from hanging out with her friend just because I don't agree with their parents. Right before she slammed her door she yelled "Heil Mom".
I cried for an hour and when Jerry came home, I told him what had happened. He sided with Alexa so I have had to relent, but I told her that I don't want her to always go over there. I don't want Mary influencing my child any more than she already has. I made Jerry sleep on the couch for siding with Alexa and cried myself to sleep.
