Husband is never home when J is.  And when he is J has had "plans".  So - unfortunately - circumstances forced me to start talking to him.  And it wasn't pretty.  Of course, he blew up.  He told...

Yesterday J popped in after being gone for awhile. He came over to me, kissed me on the forehead, and said he was going up to the park to play soccer.  Then he said he'll be back later to talk....

Well, after our campus visit we paid a 1/4 of the tuition until we see what financial aid we'll get.  That's why we were there.  We also stopped by my new friend, the college admissions director...

Summertime and working on the parent presentation about drug awareness, has brought me back two years ago - reflection time.   T continues to amaze me and I tell you - based on what he was like two...

I had my hubby call the school to see what is going on and he did, finally, talk to T's guidance counselor.  The counselor and THE PRINCIPAL talked and my hubby was told that they are both pleased...

T didn't ask but told us on the way out the door that he was going to a sleep-over. He didn't even give us a chance to respond.  He mentioned who he was going with and it did put us at ease some -...

OMG!!!  Now I have the executive director from the residential treatment center (who is "well-known") in this area by the social services community participating in our parent program.  He was...
