Well we went to court on Tuesday with my youngest boy and he had decided not to accept the plea that he had been offered because he wanted to get off probation. He had a chance to go to Juvenile facility for 7 days and remain on probation with the chance of going to jail for another 23 days but he said he didn't want to do that that he would serve his full 30 days. So he is now in the juvenile facility for thirty days. In the meantime he will return and go to court again for a minor consuming alcohol and assault so I am not sure when he will be home. But it is not that much of a change for us here because he hasn't been home in almost three months now. He hasn't been home since they came and took him out because of the assault charge and that was on the 4th of September. But I am hoping that after being gone for a while and away from everyone that he will realize that what he has done has absolutely nothing to do with us and was his doing. I am hoping that they will send him off to a rehab facility for a while because that is what he truly needs but only time will tell.I feel that the biggest problem with the entire situation has been my mother's side of the family getting their noses involved at this point because they don't have the slightest clue on what has been going on and they think that I am over reacting on what I think the child should be getting and what needs to be done. So I am the evil mom and that just feeds my son and puts him in his glory.

In the meantime I have been helping my oldest enjoy his senior year and get ready for his graduation. We have been preparing his senior pictures and picking them out. It has been fun. I just can't believe that he is graduating. It doesn't seem possible that he is leaving me already. He has grown way to fast. But other then that I have just been trying to hold on and take it day by day and not go off the deep end. Hopefully I can manage to pull through everything ok.
