Same ol' same ol'.  T is aware of his court date but it doesn't seem to have phased him very much.  He still took off today because we wouldn't buy him cigarettes.  He left school "sick" on...

I'm glad this one wasn't on me.  What a sense of relief it was not having to be the one or even a part of it.  My husband found the moment to tell T of the upcoming court date.  There were...

I met with my parish priest today to discuss and see how we can bring the community together regarding the teen drug issue.  Since he's the one who called the meeting I didn't have a lot to offer...

I know there are lots of scenarios that could play out with the court thing.  I just realized, however, that the first hearing is only going to be the arraignment. Nothing would be decided anyway...

Arraignment is March 11th.  I  can't tell T about this, yet.  Right now he's doing "well".  Well, I know he's not using.  Unfortunately, whether he had been using or not - he's going to court...

Disengage, disengage, disengage.  Sometimes I still get confused as to what is parenting and what is controlling behavior.  I don't know why I've struggled with this so much but I think I have more...

I believe T did cross over the line - but now, I know, he's back on track.  His cage was rattled a bit and because of that  - he stopped whatever he was doing.  He didn't stop because he wanted...

T's counselor came to our house today.  He brought a sheet of paper with a list of things T needs to work on or has done that looked like drug behavior.  He also had let T know what I saw on-line -...

Things have settled down.  T came home 45 minutes late from his curfew but he didn't go out until 9pm.  Plus he had his Dad's cell phone so we talked back and forth so I wasn't worried.  He still...

I made an appointment today for T to see a doctor.  He has an ongoing sore throat and complains about not having any energy.  He told my husband he cannot concentrate in school because he feels so...

Same ol', same ol'  - T wanted to come home from school again.  I said no - he tempted to leave school again.  Assistant Principal saw him getting his coat on ready to bolt.  He stopped him and...

Tried to go home "sick" again, drug talk & potential plans to sell, found bong in room, empty urine bottles = using    Dilemma or thought "plan"  - confront T on all the info.  I have.  Tell...

T-Man did it again.  He went to attendance to see if he could be sent home because he wasn't "feeling well".  Sorry buddy - no can do.  I told the attendance woman to put a call into the assist....

My husband and I went to our soccer game Friday night.  We had a lot of fun and it helped that we were winning by a wide margin.  Two minutes before the game ended, however, I found myself between...

Wow - what a difference a day makes!  Went to Al Anon last night, went out for breakfast with a friend this morning, and got a call, while I was out, from our state dept. on alcohol and drug...
