Ever since the preschool school I taught at shut down I haven't had the interest or the energy to seek work elsewhere because having my high maintanance son over these past few years really required...

I suppose we just have to adjust to our new way of life, so to speak.  T didn't come home right away after school yesterday because he walked!  And last night - he called me on my cell to tell me...

Well -  T isn't using but if he keeps up this old familiar behavior.  I am so disappointed in him.  I will just have to take a deep breath and hold it until he turns 18.  Yesterday he was...

OMG -  T was supposed to come home for dinner.  He was a no show and it's almost 9PM.  Hubby and I didn't go over the "contract" before he was released from probation.  I insisted we write one...

I'm going to look at this new found freedom as a positive step into the journey my son will take. Today, at court, the judge released him from probation and from house arrest.  No more probation...

Perhaps I'm over thinking this but I am not sure what to do.  T's psych dr put him on a mood stabilizer that I think is ludicrous.  T's counselor (I talked to him briefly) was making an argument...

T goes to court on Wed, the 22nd.  Today he's a bit moody because it's beautiful outside and being on house arrest is really getting to him.  He may be 17 but he behaves years younger in so many...

I had the meeting with the Middle School Principal in our town today.  He used to be my older sons' Assistant Principal at the high school a few years back.  Those were the days I didn't have any...

Today is my oldest son, S's, birthday - he's 22!  I can't believe it!  Where has the time gone?  Hubby and I are going to visit him tomorrow at school.  A 2 1/2 hour drive with cupcakes and...

Well - today is Tuesday and I still haven't "come down" from my uplifting, inspiring, Washington trip.  It was simply amazing.  To be in a room with over 100 people just like me was like a dream...

I e-mailed my second born son's former psychiatrist for a second opinion, asking him if he knew of anyone in the the department that could help us.  I didn't ask him if he could because, as I...

Yes - our two younger "boys" were watching Jeopardy together - I guess it was the semi-finals.  My middle one likes the finals because he says this level is more challenging.  My hubby said - "Can...

The judge, last week, said that he was placing our son on house arrest instead of locking him up - "against my better judgement" he said.  Well, his better judgement, I believe, would have been...

Okay - I think I have it figured out.  I think I will put off having the Wellbutrin medication filled until my son receives a psychological test.  Today he spent about 15 minutes with a...

This weekend I took a total of 5 hours of driving to retrieve my oldest son from college to have him with us for my husband's "Citizen of the Year" ceremony and celebration.  A reception took place...
