Good morning it's Monday already

Good morning everyone, I wished I was still in bed, but woke up and desided to go on and get up 4 AM is just to darn earily when I don't have to get up tell 6 AM. I hope you had a nice weekend even with the rain. I hated to turn my heat back on but I did.... I am ready for the warm weather to come back so I can get some sun before I have to go back to work. I think I have the gracing or out of control eating under control for the time being, I am not sure once I have to deal with going to court for my son, but I am telling myself I am not going to let this get to me he is almost 18 I have been telling him for over a month he better get his act together, I have had him in conceling and even the stress center since Jan. I really fell I have done all I can for him it was up to him at this point. So yes I am upset and stressed but not like I was 2 years ago when he got a battery charge on him for getting in a fight at school. To all you I have something to share with you MOMS, that mom sent me last night in a email. God made Adam, and Eve told them not to eat the forbidden fruit but they did after many warnings it could not make them under stand so what makes you think you can do it??????? love mom. I know this but guess I just needed to be reminded. Lisa B

Lisa, They are going to do what they are going to do...I did the best I could do and kept them under prayer at all times. I had my ups and downs with my sons but they are responsible productive young fathers now.. Thanks God for the NAVY who helped my youngest develop skills and accountability I sent them a good boy they sent me back a fine man!!! The grazing... I think we all try that for a short period.. it is the smart ones that recognize it for what it is and get back on track. I am taking a before picture to work ... that will deffinately help me!!! I fell asleep on the couch last night and hubby put me to bed at 8:30... I slept good until 5!! I needed to catch up on my sleep. Linda

wow mom sounds pretty much with it.....only thing is adam and eve were never obese that i know of....and you know you do not wanna go back there.... you know with our kids......you can love them, guide them smack'em, along side the head...but they are gonna do as they damn well please...my son just turned 32 for the past 4 years he has not even held a job..i gave him the money to go to the dr not once but twice, cos he spent the money on something else the first time....gave him the money as well to pay for antidepressants which is what i thought was maybe wrong.......u asked and asked all his friends what is going on..i knew in my heart it was drugs....but this is a kid that always worked always had a good job....a friend of his came to see me...told me the drug of choice.....the friend told me...my son may never speak to him again...but if i can get him the help he needs then it will be worth it..well i had my talk with my son told him i knew now what was going on....i let him know he was gonna be given the chance to clean up...........or i would get the law involved...he has not done the first thing...in all my research on METH with the law invloved there is a greater chance for kicking the ****here is a kid that when he was 18 would not even drink as much as a beer.......he did not like it...here is a kid that was always at work, had money...dressed nice...now i can see him on a sunday and should i see him on weds...same clothes on...hair a mess..my heart is BUSTED,,,,,then to add to it...his dad is in it with him.....his dad lost a job after 31 years......this i dealt with while ed was in the hospital....so now i need to get back with my son and jerk another knot in his ass cos he is only gonna end up one of two places....and i would sooner know he was in jail than doing this stuff......teeth rotting out of his mouth......wish i could just smack him...better yet cut a switch...there ya go... well i guess i went on and on....sorry.....any advice i will sure listen to.....

Good morning everyone!! Lisa & Angie... I'm so sorry that you ladies are going through all this with your sons. Jay had given me a horrible time growing up. He's 23 now..working full-time (for now) and no news is good news. The only advise I have is 'To thine ownself, be true'. Don't let their actions change you from being who you are and who you need to be. Love your child enough to make them face their own consequences. Jay spent time in Juvie and in jail. Hopefully, he never will again but if he does, it will be HIS actions that puts him there, not mine. Love yourself enough to demand respect from them. Lisa...I HOPE you did NOT make that 16 yr old breakfast yesterday! If my 16 yr old was to wake me up demanding breakfast, he would have gotten a carton of eggs and a box of cereal thrown at him & told to make his own. Ang...jail is better than dead. Meth leads to death. You're doing the right thing sweetie! Everyone... I had my work-out with the fitness trainer this morning. I think it's going to be a pretty good routine. It envolves 3 weight machines, 2 dumb bell exercises, 3 more weight machines: repeat for total of 3 rounds, then 2 mat exercises. It should take about an hour. I'll know more what it's going to take me after lunch. My plan is to go over there every day at lunch, M-F. That's the time that I usually walked. None of the exercises puts any pressure on my sore foot, so that's good. I'm sure the rest of me is going to be feeling it though...lol. I got several outfits for Myranda yesterday and a couple of toys. Tiffany is suppose to bring the kids over tonight so Myranda can get her birthday presents. I can't wait to see them. They really don't live far from us but we all get so wrapped up in our own lives, it's easy for a few weeks to pass without seeing them. I better get back busy with work You all have a great day!

Well this mornings greetings are about as good as the weather. Depressing. I really feel for you gals. Makes me appreciate my kids. They've never been in trouble with the law. (Better not their dad is a probation officer) Their only problems are not being responsible with money and their health. My son is 20 and insulin dependant diabetic that won't monitor his sugar like he's supposed to. He still lives at home thank goodness or he'd probably be dead due to insulin shock atleast 3 times. My daughter is 30 and going thru her second divorce. She will be moving back in with us next weekend from North Carolina to get back on her feet. (30,000 in debt) She has had melanoma and now has a tumor on liver (benign) and possibly a bad gall bladder. I was just beginning to learn to live for myself and not my kids. I can't let them drive me to eating again. I'm glad they don't have a drug or alcohol problems. Meth is the worst, I really hope you can get you son into treatment. That stuff is so addictive. Good luck to all uf us with our individual challenges. It is good to have this support and know we are not alone.

Thanks to all of you for the support, I will find out today what is going to take place. I was told that pot was a fellony(sp). I thank everyone for everything you have said, I know alot of kids and people do this but I never did, I have tried to understand why he kept doing this after I tried to tell him what could happen, but know he will find out . Thanks again. Lisa B
