Okay - so today I got T off to school.....barely.  It was difficult getting him up but he didn't say anything about his throat.  I know it still hurts.  Did it prevent him from going out after...

My son, T-Man, always manages to get sick on Mondays.  It's so frustrating...  I know he's sick, too.  Or he could have allergies with post nasal drip.  All I know is he is missing school and his...

Well........ my 16 year old son, T, started treatment yesterday.  It's an intensive outpatient "program" that's pretty unique because he's about the only one being treated in the outpatient today. ...

I live in a quiet, small, family oriented suburb.  Not much happens around here.  When something does happen (usually an illness) the community bands together and helps and supports one another. ...

Well.....for the first time since being off of house arrest, T tested the water a little more than he should have.  Looks like T may be spending some extra time here at home.  He left at 12:30,...

What a wonderful weekend we had!  Saturday night my husband and I went to the Easter Vigil at church.  It was a beautiful ceremony and very moving.  Unfortunately, my husband was extremely tired...

Last night our son's sponsor decided not to go to AA because he wanted to get another tatoo!  So because he wasn't going, our son said he decided not to go either.  Instead he made plans to hook up...

Last night our son, T-Man, had asked for $50.00 so that he could take his girlfriend out on a "real' date.  He wanted to treat her to dinner and a movie.  This was the first time since last July...

I TOTALLY HAVE MY SON BACK AND I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT!  IN FACT, HE HASN'T EVEN BEEN TO REHAB, YET!  WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?  JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO EVEN THE RESIDENTIAL FACILITY DIDN'T WANT HIM...

Wish T-Man went to school today.  Same ol' same ol' - misses school a lot - whether using or not.  He has a headache and stomach doesn't feel right.  I know he's ill and not faking it but he still...

My son, T-Man, has been through the mill with his drug addiction, his criminal offenses, his trouble in school and at home, only to come out smelling like a rose.   He's come a long, long way and...

Well.....we're in transition time right now and it doesn't feel very well.  We were elated yesterday that things went smoothly in court and that his advocates worked on my son's behalf.  My husband...

Wow - what a storm we had!  Here it's March and who would have thought we would get a foot and half of snow!  It's more snow in one storm that we had all winter!  Since our winter was so mild, I...

What a difference a day makes!  It's a good day!  Even though the weather is more like a January snow storm, it's beautiful and kinda of fun.  I can't believe the accumulation!  We haven't had...

Things are stilll going well.  I was able to attend the parent support group last night.  Shame on me for convincing my middle son, 18, to find someone else to work in his place.  Here he is...
