Can't believe it's been nearly a week since I written in this journal.  Since then I fly down to Atlanta to spend the weekend with my sister and family.  My brother and his wife and family live about a half an hour from there so they came to visit too.  It was good to get away.   My sister was kind enough to go with me to visit one of the facilities I "wanted" to look at.  I say wanted because who really wants to spend a few hours at a place like that.  Shopping sounds more appealing, LOL.  Anyway, I am glad I went.  I do have mixed feelings, however, only because it's the only place I looked at.  We may end up sending him there....not so sure --yet.  I still have a problem with not being able to see until he's there 3 months and even then he has to earn it.   Do you want to know something?  On my way down to Atlanta I met a young man (25 year old) who was one of 3 boys (like my boys).  Although he and his brothers are older than mine (this fellow was the middle one), I felt a connection.  I talked to him about my boys and he about himself and his brothers and before long I told him about T.  I also told him that while I was down in Atlanta I was going to visit a boarding school for troubled teens.  He told me that he knows of place - residential for troubled teens - that is financially supported by private institutions, foundations, and the public....so it can be free if it's court ordered.  This place is not in our state but is only 2 1/2 hours away.  My husband and I are planning on visiting this place on Friday.  I hope it works out because I like what I see on-line.   Oh.......big mistake.  I left my purse on the counter yesterday with money in it left over from my trip.  And guess who took it?  He did go to school today, I think.  He missed the first two classes (90 minutes each) and then has one in the end of the day.  I doubt he will hang around for that.
