Today it was a bit frustrating with T.  Tutoring plans fell through because T didn't like the way we (tutor and I) changed them.  I wanted to scream.  Well, I DID raise my voice.  T has missed so...

I'll admit that I am a bit frustrated with T, even as well as he seems to be doing.  He still doesn't see the urgency to get his one class, chemistry, behind him.  His teacher could have written...

JUST COUNTING MY BLESSINGS.  I CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW STRANGE IT IS TO HAVE MY SON, 17, DOING SO WELL.  I DON'T KNOW HIM.  IT'S WONDERFUL BUT IT DEFINITELY IS A NEW NORM.  HE'S SO EASY AND VERY...

As a parent I know I did the right thing.  It wasn't easy to say no and I tell you I was very, very close to saying yes.  T-Man has been soooo  gooood.  He's been doing everything we ask of him,...

My presentation went very well! Whew!  Received tons of compliments and although that was great ~  I am still trying to come to terms with something a local school resource officer told me.  The...

I CANNOT believe this is happening.  The Opiate convention - where I'm supposed to speak as a panel member ~ isn't going to  happen.  They reviewed my powerpoint and they're very uncomfortable...

Broke the all time record for the most rain in one year.  In fact, we've had more rain than Seattle this year - not surprised!With the next presentation steadily approaching - I'm hoping I'm ready....

Shit - why all 3 of my sons?  What the hell.  Now it's the oldest but it's not because of a drug or alcohol problem, at least  ~ I don't think so.  Tonight I found out through my husband that our...

For our program for the regional PTA Officers ~ we went a bit over on time allowance - apparently- but I was told we had 55 minutes - which we used.  It bothered me a bit because we had to rush the...

I suppose I can't help my oldest son any more than my other two if he isn't willing to listen.  I know that he is very down right now because I can hear it in his voice.  Who wouldn't be in his...

Just can't seem to shake it.  Ever since we did our presentation ~ I've been feeling depressed.  We have another program coming up this Thursday and I have no desire to work on it or even present...

The turnout for our presentation ~ despite the fact that we advertised even more aggressively - with signs posted all over town, posters, and newspaper articles ~ it was the lowest turnout we ever...

I cannot believe that it was my 5th year involved in the walk at the zoo for the suicide prevention walk.  I am not sure how they ended up, financially, with this event (earlier in the week funds...

Out of curiosity I went to a book discussion meeting at a local library.  The book came out a few years ago to help parents keep their children drug-free.  I hadn't read the book and I wasn't even...

I was invited to attend a group meeting with our area "drug committee" headed up by our local drug task force that covers about 8 school districts - there were only 4 reps present this morning. This...
