Another great day.  I know T is in a holding pattern but I will take it.  Going to Al anon tonight with the drug counselor friend of mine.  Her son is struggling right now.  He's the same age as...

Three weeks off of drugs.  Right now he has his non-using friends here.  I LOVE IT!   My best friend's daughter used to be friends with him and now that he's sober she was over here.  Before...

I know T is struggling being on home detention BUT he is finding things to do by himself.  He got out my husband's old camera and started taking pictures (he's taking journalism in school), he's in...

Just came back from al anon.  As tired as I was (meeting starts at 8:30) I forced myself to go and I'm glad I did.  The topic:  Love.  Very appropriate this Valentine's Day.  Tonight there were...

I'm the only one home.  My husband took our middle son, son's friend, and a friend of his to the basketball game.  The seats are my husband's work season tickets.  Up in front and middle.  He...

Probation officer came to our house today.  I really like this guy and, fortunately, so does my son.  T was very up front with him and honest.  The PO said that he can tell that my son is a really...

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. ...
