Here we go again.  T is missing school.  Said he woke up at 3 with a sore throat and feels awful.  He's missed about 10 out of 14 days.  This the beginning of the new semester.  Since the school...

Temperature outside is about 4 degrees.  School was canceled.  T has his first AA meeting tonight.  He's been doing very well.  I cannot believe the turn around....  I never would have guessed...

 A GREAT DAY!  THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT!  JUST A GREAT DAY!  SON IS ON THE RIGHT PATH.  HE GOT UP AND DID HIS HOMEWORK AND THEN WAS JUST PLEASANT........A LOVELY DAY!

A casual friend of ours took it upon himself to come and talk to T.  He's been here, so far, for about 45 minutes.  Since this whole thing started, this is the LONGEST time anyone has spent any...

I think I screwed up.  My son has been doing well.  He's clean and he's been doing what he's supposed to be doing.  He is fighting the battle of his life and I have to find something to wreck...

OMG - I DON'T BELIEVE THIS........MY SON'S TEMPORARY PROBATION OFFICER IS SOMEONE I'VE BEEN CALLING FOR MONTHS FOR ADVISE!  I GOT HIS NAME FROM A FRIEND MY HUSBAND AND I PLAY SOCCER WITH!!  HE'S...

After talking to my friend, decided to let him handle school at his own pace.  He has enough on his plate but to let him know we are here if he needs help.  My husband is on this quest to help...

It's Friday and things, finally, have settled down.  T went off to school so easily this morning.  In fact, he was waiting for me!  I also talked to him about getting caught up in his English. ...

WE HAD COURT TODAY.....ALL DAY.  WE WAITED 3 HOURS BEFORE WE WENT IN BECAUSE OUR SON'S COURT APPOINTED LAWYER WAS NOT PREPARED - HE WAS SURPRISED  BY MORE CHARGES OUR SON ADDED SINCE THE ORIGINAL...

What a difference when they don't use.  It's been such a long time that I forgot what it's like to be "normal".  Since spending a night in detention, last Thursday,  he's been staying clear of his...

It's half-time.  T and his girlfriend are watching the Superbowl together.  I don't think he's been using anything, lately.  Just glad that Peggy girl is out of the picture.  Guess she's singing...

I had a hard time sleeping last night because of the phone call I received a call from a woman named Karen who I got to know over the last few years or so because of our sons.  Her oldest and my...

Not really but ......... what can I do?  J doesn't need surgery on his knee.  If he follows the physical therapy regimen and does what he's supposed to do than maybe all he'll need to do is wear a...

Although it's been a rough road this year and I know that there are bound to be some more "stuff" to deal with this year and beyond, at the moment I'm in a good place.  "One day at a time" helps me...

Now it's my husband. On Sunday, when we were on our way to picking T-Man from his friend's house (about 2 1/2 hrs. from were we live to his dorm (about 1.5 miles away) my husband let out a sigh.  I...
