Well, last month we had another PPT meeting. Looks like my son is failing just about everything. It was decided that he would drop his foreign language (that he can always do later in school/life if...

Lots of stuff on my son, PPTs, etc, but that will keep for another day.  Today I am reflecting on death.Last year after my aunt died, I HAD it with death!  First my dad, then her.  I said to...

I’ve been reflecting on my own feelings regarding this “resignation” business. Thing is, I’m not angry. I know my previous post may have sounded angry, but I wasn’t. Disappointed more than...

Well, my husband "resigned" from his job, or as he put it, he "had to resign or face being fired."  Apparently there was some "incident" yesterday that he doesn't want to talk about. So this means...

Well, it's been warmer in the Northeast lately & the snow & ice have been melting.  There's still a lot of it, but it's receding.  You can actually see over the snowbanks so that you don't hit...

I watch my son & see him slipping into this downward spiral. He’s continually late to school. And late to classes. So much so that he’s lost a quarter credit of his language requirement. He just...

Feeling better today; went to work so that helped, I think.Got another voice mail from a teacher:  not doing his work, not coming back to finish any work.  I had my son listen to the voice mail. ...

Well, it was my 46th birthday yesterday.  No big celebration, except that I ate myself silly & probably shouldn't have done that!  But whatever...back to exercise!I got lots of nice wishes on...

I was looking thru December's entries...boy, was I crabby!  I do remember feeling a great need to journal on DS.  I was surely a pressure cooker, needing to blow off steam before exploding!So I'm...

Well, my husband comes home yesterday & says he was "almost fired", but wouldn't say exactly why.  "it was a number of things."  (OK)  But he just got a disciplinary warning & is on probation for...

Had a major (verbal) fight w/son before Christmas.  He was playing Wii & getting increasingly angry & starting to spin out of control.  I told him to start playing & he got very verbally abusive...

Been beyond wit's end w/my son lately.  this year, he started out pretty good being on time.  then he started cutting it close.  Now he's not even getting out of the house till 7:30 (when school...

One happy thing, that makes me update my status to a , is that my favorite cousin just gave birth to a daughter!  (A new little person to put on the family tree!)  She had to be induced, but the...

Good:  got my car back from the body shop.  Not only does it look great, they cleaned it at the car wash, INSIDE and out!  (I'm terrible with that.)  Rental didn't cost too much, thanks to...
