David cuts class now on a daily basis. Today he cut at least two classes and has been seen walking around outside of the school in various neighborhoods. The vice principal called today and they are going to put him in alternative school.
In the meantime, I think the state wants to get him in another program, which may eventually lead to him staying. But that is going to take time. In other words, similar to the situation he was in a year ago at Brenford. He has told everyone over and over he hates it here and wants to leave. David is all about threats to get his way. The problem is, in many ways, he is fearless as there have yet to be any real consequences. Even the school has given up on detention as he just walks out. He is failing, so what is the difference?
I am so disappointed and angry with myself. I am back up to 170.5 lbs.
We went from freezing here (barely 40 degrees and talking wind chill factors) and two days later it is 86 degrees! Crazy! Have to find my fans. What the heck happened to Spring? I think it is supposed to cool off to normal temps for the weekend in the 60's.
A friend of mine from work is selling her condo in Wildwood Crest, one of my favorite places to be in the Summer, on the beach! It is 3 blocks from the beach, on the 2nd floor. Fully furnished and allows dogs. I am collecting data and then going to try to convince Paul. we had talked about either a shore house or a mountain house. New Jersey beaches are 2 hrs away, Pocono Mountains are 2 hrs away. I am opting for shore house! the boardwalk at Wildwood is AWESOME! I spent several weeks of every Summer there with my grandmother growing up. It has a wrap around porch. It is co cute and all the furniture is included! I am in love with it! I want to sit on the porch all day, reading books and smelling salt air and listening to the gulls! I have a lot of hills around here so it is hard to ride my bike because I am so out of shape. But I will bring my bike down there and even get a basket for it! I am saying my prayers. This is a dream of mine.

I wish you all the luck in the world with a shorehouse. It is so healing to live in such surroundings and I wish you a lot of peace and happiness.My son has not been doing well all the time. He stopped taking zyprexa, then a few days ago started, but the problem with that is that it makes a real zombie of him. He stopped again and is very stressed and difficult and his wife suffers.
However, believe me that I am not wanting to burdon you. Just to say, do stay in faith, never stop letting him know that you will always love him. It is not him, it is the imbalance and they suffer more that us, so, so sad, heartbreaking to see really intellegent people loosing out, so to speak.
As I said, I do pray for all BP sufferers - and for their loved ones, thus for you and your son and husband as well. Do not give up on God\'s mercy and power. And know that many of us are out here and with you - because we understand.
The shorehouse...how fabulous to have a place to go and chill! I hope your dreams come true.
I HOPE THINGS WORK OUT WITH DAVID.
OH HOW WONDERFUL A SHORE HOUSE. .I HOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT YOU DESERVE IT. IT WILL HELP TO RELAX YOU. GOOD MEMORIES FOR YOU.
Oh, you brought back memories for me. I also loved the Ocean and boardwalk. Most of my youthful trips were to Atlantic City, NJ but I also remember Wildwood and a few others. Sometimes the church went to Ocean Grove. It would be super if you could get some vacation and healing energies!
