Received a phone call from my oldest S's principal today -
He received paperwork about my S being on probation and apparently (unbeknownst to me) it is against school policy to have a felon in the school and it calls for an automatic suspension (which the principal can overturn)...
I now have a meeting with him at 7:15am tomorrow to see what will happen to my child...
The principal has never overturned a suspension (his words) however he is "thinking of doing something he has never done before"...
I will let you know how it turns out but for those of you that do pray, please send one up with the hopes that the impending suspension will be overturned.
(((Hugs)))

Its just that I am not sure what to post now. My sitch has really settled down, so I don't have much to say about that. And I don't have the same wisdom as Puppy, Coach or some of the other experts on here on relationships. So I read a lot, but am really at a loss on what to say.
Oh well, I continue to pray for you and everyone else on here. It is good to hear from you.
You have my prayers, Serenity. I know you want this to turn a certain way, but please keep your heart open that God may have another way in mind. TRUST Him.
Serenity, Give the principal all the facts, the marriage, the sep, the family stress, how the judicial system was firm with him in meting out appropriate punishment, your son's latching on to several good male role model/mentors and his very real need to maintain structure right now.
In other words, its all true, but pour it on.

Serenity, Even though I've been a bit remiss with my long hours lately, it still doesn't feel right logging off at night before saying good night to Sweet Serenity G'night and continued prayers and good thoughts your way.

A special thanks to Puppy for reminding me to pray for His will and not just what I think is right. You would think by now I would remember that.
Gardener - I took your advice as well and basically gave him the condensed version...
Could be that, could be the prayers however he did do something he has never done before and allowed my S to stay in the school he is in with the promise that my S would continue to be the good student he is.
The fact that he has never been in trouble in school, is (normally) on the honor roll, aces the FCAT (Florida based yearly test)and made the Who's Who for High School last year (even though he is in middle school) also played a part.
I am happy with the outcome because I know it is His will...I would have been ok with S at an alternative school however I wouldn't have been happy about it...
Now S has to walk a very thin line but I am pretty sure he has learned his lesson...He is slowly changing his ways...Has a new set of friends, comes to Church with me, is more helpful with the little one, around the house etc...
He has his moments but all in all he is getting better.
(((Hugs))) to you all.
