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...

It helped that I wasn't anxious.  It helped that the staff was warm and very professional. It helped that I had my hubby there, of course.  And it helped knowing that I was in a top notch hospital....

I came down with a whopper of a head/sinus cold on Friday.  Apparently, I should be good to go for surgery on Tuesday (according to my packet - if you develop a cold two days before) but it still...

T-Man had his underage drinking charge appearance today.  Hubby dropped him off and later called me to tell me that T will be on probation for a year, will be "randomly" drug tested, is expected to...

I've really come to embrace that slogan.  Over the years I remember reading it on people's bumper stickers and, although I knew it was from AA, I really didn't know what it meant.Well, today I will...

Well, I went to my ol' hometown and visited their adolescent drug treatment facility.  I had been in touch with the exec director because I was so intrigued with what they do I had to contact her...
