So when I get home yesterday, my son was waiting for me. He wanted to apologize for running late & being nasty in the morning & gave me a hug.  But by the time he went to bed he was back to his...

A step forward, a step back.  He was late again today.  20 after 7 (which is the latest we should be in the car) & I'm going in his room to get his laundry & he's still putting on his belt.  I nag...

Well, yesterday my son went to youth group again--2nd week in a row.  I'm really glad.  He wanted to stay up some more when he got home, but I didn't want him getting to bed too late.  I reminded...

Well, my son was back to his nasty self this morning when I brought him to school.  Which put me in a crappy mood (and I was tired to begin with, since I stayed up late talking to a friend).  He...

Just got an email from my son's algebra teacher (which usually scares me).  He got a 100% on his algebra test the other day!!  (He's been failing all year.)YAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!His teacher is psyched &...

Yesterday, my son went to youth group.  I think he really liked it.  He talked about "my friends".Tonight, instead of sorting his Yu-Gi-Oh cards in his room, he came to the living room to do it...

So…I figured out a 6th alternative as far as our money goes:  get off direct deposit & get the cash in my hands.  Pay all but the automatic withdrawals with money order; deposit cash for...

So my husband did not try to sabatoge anything, nor did he make a "big deal".  I just got there, told him why we were going & we went.However, when we came home, he did ask how it went & said...

Going to the center today.  My husband was going to be picking up my daughter from school as I was picking up my son, but school has been cancelled today, so I am going to have to deal with him...

Next Tuesday, my son & I go to the center so they can tell him how his brain is operating.  I hope he takes it as empowering.  Maybe he'll get out the emotional rut he's in, which I think is...

Met with the center about "Next Steps" and what the priorities are.  Looks like the biggest bang for the buck right now is working with the school to tailor things to my son's needs.  Once that...

The antibiotics are really kicking in now.   It doesn't even hurt to swallow anymore.  I even had a grilled cheese for lunch.  I feel more human, too.Amazing how your health affects your...

Strep throat, no money.  Son is frustrating me.  Husband is frustrating me.  Can't exercise.  Lucky I cleaned most of the house.  Just yuck today.

I'm home, sick with a cold.  So is my daughter. Emotionally, I'm still OK.  Just pondering what my next steps are with my son.  And life in general.

I was looking over my New Year's "hopes" & I think I've accomplished just about everything on my list--with the exception of scheduling a complete physical.  Gotta make that call.Of course some...
