Now J is now really struggling with his depression and addiction issues.  Today I got a call at work - he needed a ride home so I dropped everything because he was in a fragile state and came and...

J saw his counselor yesterday and told me after his appointment ~ his ex-girlfriend was in on the session.  He said that she had suggested it before but he wasn't interested.  I am guessing that he...

  Sunshine and warmer weather the last few days but thunderstorms are again predicted for today!  Just want to get the rest of the flowers and vegetables in the gardens before the heavens open...

A week ago I talked about the rain and the promise of sun in the near future.  Well, we got some sun and even warmth but for the last few days - we've had A LOT more rain with intermittent sunshine....

It was rather depressing around here because of the dreary weather holding pattern we were in and have been in for weeks.  Average temps this time of year is around 70.  We've had mid-40 temps and...

Monday night, with my husband, we went to the city council meeting to speak up about a particular budget cut our mayor has decided to make. She plans on cutting the family services our community and...

After 5 days of binge drinking it seems like things have settled down a bit with our middle son, JM.  Thankfully, he can talk to us and even listen to what we gently say to him - unlike our youngest...

I am stronger than I'd ever imagine I'd be considering my circumstances.  Middle son didn't come home right away after he said he needed to go back to his ex-girlfriend's house to download something...

Okay -  not that I thought that the last time I found a computer dust can under my son's bed that that was an isolated incident that it wasn't going to happen again  but  this time I just couldn't...

My 19 year old son T-Man didn't come home last night because he said he was working on homework all night as his friend's house.  I believe him because of who he was with and I know that's how he's...

Now that I'm putting more responsibility on T-Man - he's resisting and shutting down.  He was supposed to work from home (through a friend of ours) so that he could make some $ toward his court...
