Not sure what to do but I know things will work out.  J is still in a bad way.  I guess he's agreeing to go back to the doctor.  The main problem he's been having is that there is a lot of thick...

My middle guy, J, has come down with a very,very bad case of strep.  He's on antibiotics but not the strongest he needs because he's allergic to what would speed up the process.  His throat is so...

As strange as it sounds ~ it was hard but I said no to my #2 son.  After his drinking/driving blackout episode ~ we never really did a sit down with him.  Things were crazy, busy ~ he was working a...

I know I've come a long way since I'm really hearing and "getting" what is being said in Al Anon and in our support groups.  It takes time and it's a process but it's interesting that it takes so...

Okay - I'd rather J not come home than to drive under the influence.  Thankfully he didn't do that.  The problem is he was told he couldn't use the car after work for socializing.  I told him to...

I counted them yesterday.  I do have a lot to be thankful for and I thank the dear Lord for bestowing them on me.  Truthfully, I was a bit nervous about my mother-in-law coming.  I feel for her so...

S GOT THE JOB!!!!  I FOUND OUT DURING MY AL ANON MEETING!  (No - I didn't turn off my cell like I was supposed to - because I forgot).  He is so happy!  And so are we!  Rather timely - his car...

No matter what - I'm going to a meeting tomorrow.  I am super focusing on my middle guy - which isn't good.  After that incident the other night - his sleep schedule is off and he's been sleeping...

The elephant is back.  Last night my hubby and I went out to dinner where our middle son works.  He was our waiter.  He was not only very good at taking care of us on such a busy night but he was...

Yesterday I met with the executive director of our "local" adolescent drug treatment facility to "compare notes" from a tour we took separately.  I visited the place already so I set up a meeting...

Oldest son has a second interview at a law firm where he lives ~ so we're hoping! He has a political science/history/political science degree and this would be for a paid internship program so if he...

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...
