How's it going? Thanks for stopping by. I'll be heading up to your neck of the woods about mid-June. I've never really been to St. Louis but maybe I'll get up there sometime in April or May to do some house hunting.
Well, chaulk up another weekend. The house went on the market Friday and had one couple show up Saturday...that was kind of fast. They seemed to like the house, but want to move by the end of April and I really don't want to pull out of here until after YS graduates so we'll have to wait and see what happens. Don't have an offer or anything yet.
YS got into a little trouble this weekend. Near as I can tell he was at the wrong place at the wrong time...but that doesn't really excuse it. He and the boys decided to stay at one of their houses while the parents weren't home. YS, true to form, fell asleep and a couple of the others got some beer, got drunk, and made enough noise that the police were called. Talk about stupid. YS and another friend were both racked out and I guess it was pretty obvious they were clueless when the cops came, and that they hadn't been drinking, so they weren't cited. The others got into trouble...YS just got in trouble at home. Sometimes stupidity is a crime.
We had a long talk that night and he'll be spending a little bonding time at home with dear ole Dad for a while. I've still got a lot of yard work and that attic needs to be cleaned out....
I was mad Saturday night and W is sticking up for YS saying that the cops said he didn't do anything wrong...we had an argument about that because she kept cutting me off just as my lecture was getting into high gear. Plus the house they were at was a friend of her's and the lady just got a divorce, her son's evidently had at least one other drinking violation recently, and she was no where to be found. I thought that was kind of irresponsible and said so. W didn't like that.
Things had settled down a little Sunday, then W started talking to me about it again. Told me she wasn't sure YS was telling us the whole story (REALLY???) and that maybe he should be grounded for a while (DUH???) and maybe he shouldn't hang out with those boys anymore. It was amazing, she acted like the conversation from the night before hadn't happened and these were all her ideas. I just nodded my head.
I'm kind of po'd about the whole thing, then I found out she stopped taking her medication...AGAIN. I couldn't even get mad about it. I just feel like giving up. The only bright spot is that she did make an appointment with her C again for today, and she still plans on going to that. I asked her how this is supposed to get better if she doesn't do anything about it.
