roller coaster

Yes - although the mountains and valleys aren't nearly as steep as they once were - "we" are still on the ride.  I don't believe T is using but he is slipping down one of those slippery slopes. On Friday he was soo "sick", gave me a hard time about going to school, but he went.  Saturday night he said he barely slept, was up in the middle of the night with a bad sore throat and bad cold.  So when Monday rolled around we noticed a note he left on the counter, saying that he feels horrible and can't go to school - up all night without any sleep.  So - I let him sleep in because I didn't feel very well myself, my other son just got over being sick and T was, obviously, under the weather.  Well, he did manage to get himself up and out the door to go to his friend's house to retrieve his video game. That was at 2PM, he then came home, briefly, heated himself up some frozen pizza, ate, and left.  It's now past midnight.   All I can say is......... he'd better go to school tomorrow..... cell phone will be off.....if he doesn't.
