mom-of-3

My emotions are all over the place today.  I've decided, however, to focus on all the positive things in my life.  Although it's productive to concentrate on issues that need attending...

I wonder if I am imaging my son's situation a lot worse than it is.  I have never, ever had a conversation with him that I suspected he was under any influence.   I call him periodically...

A friend of mine suggested that I call the juvenile detective (actually he's rather mature...sorry..bad joke) and insist that my son skip the diversion program and go directly to drug court...

How does a parent know?  How does a parent know how much their child is engaging in the illegal substance.....pot?  My son, 15, claims it's recreational (says he just does it once a month).  I've...

Haven't written in my journal for awhile......I refuse to wallow in my misery and going on about my worries over my youngest.....at least .....not now. I want to be upbeat and share some good...

I don't feel like getting into right now but I am sad.  It's about my youngest and his choices as of late.  He just isn't thinking......

Oh geez..... It's hard work sometimes being the parent of a teen, isn't it?  My youngest son is such high maintanance these days.  We had a vistor at our door at midnight the other evening.  We...

#3 son played in his high school summer league game and ended up breaking his nose!  He was so upset....not just from the pain, but from the fact that the break happened in the middle of his...

Yesterday didn't start out very well when I came downstairs and found my 2nd born son (18) missing from the couch (yes.....he sleeps on the couch instead of his bed).   Twice this past week he...

Working hard getting ready for my 2nd born son's grad party...... I've been working non-stop.  It's amazing what you can get done when under pressure.  The party is next week and --so far-- the...

Drove down to get my oldest from college yesterday.  It's great having him home but......I forgot what comes with him......all the junk!  He's a pack rat and this "pack rat" has all his things all...

Two down and one to go.   Our middle guy graduated last night and the ceremony was wonderful.  It was a "bit" muggy and hot in the gym, where the ceremony took place, but due to the iffy weather...

Graduation is tomorrow evening.   I can't believe it.  It will be just our immediate family at the ceremony because all relatives live out of our state, but our oldest is making a special trip...

Last night was the high school awards night.  Our middle guy was to receive an art award, but didn't want to attend the ceremony.  He thinks it's stupid to get an award for art.  In addition, the...

Well.........the prom went extremely well.  Our son's date was beautiful.   My son looked so happy and relaxed and very handsome!  We've been told by many that he could be a model.  It would...
