So...it's been an interesting week this first week back at school.....can I leave home now? Oh, the drama.....
Last weekend was unbelievable....a roller coaster...well, maybe more like a drop tower of emotions...in a nut shell....on friday night it was confirmed that Emma indeed has been going out her bedroom window after hubby and I go to bed quite regularly....(I actually waited in her room for her to come back....from 2-3:15am).... Then, after we talked to her about it and then sent her to bed she took an overdose of megan's ADHD medication....rushed her to the hospital...spent the next 15 hours there while they neutralized the meds and had her see social workers and psychiatrists......came home and the next day hubby and I had to head up north to bring Maya home from her summer camp job....spent a lovely overnite in a hotel....went on the next day ..picked up Maya...then went onto Parry Sound to see our youngest grandkids and their parents....poor parents....wee Samuel has developed colic.....parents are already soooo sleep deprived that they are having difficulty functioning......oh, I remember those days so well...the nightmare that never seems to end..( now we just have the teen version)....the fun just keeps coming people!
Tuesday, school started...the coldest back to school day I think I've ever experience.....it's like over night, summer left!
Emma continued on her merry path.....coming home after curfew two nights in a row, going to a store and stealing some clothes ( she keeps doing this...one day I hope someone catches her). Constantly lying, Threatening to either kill herself or move out....
Maya had been giving us a hard time....she needs to get a job,....so far, she hasn't made any attempts, spending all day long watching movies and tv shows on YouTube....we keep telling her she is an adult now but she's resisting....I guess her teen years are a more comfortable place to be right now..so that's a battle we don't need....
Megan and Ben are back in the swing of things in their special needs classroom...this is the last for Ben...he should graduate next June...special needs kids can stay in school til their 21....which he'll be next march.....Emma should also graduate since she only needs the credits from this semester to graduate....this is her second year at grade 12, which isn't unusual in Ontario....a good amount of kids do it in two years...makes you wonder why they thot it was such brilliant idea to do away with grade 13!
Anyways, today I must drive to my chiropractor and pick up some digestive pills...yes, I know what you are thinking....it's not a wonder that this old woman needs help with her digestion!
Then come home and this afternoon pick up two grand girlies from an art class cause their mama is tied up at a teacher's meeting to bring teacher up to speed about how our oldest grandson functions.....Jairus is non verbal and delayed by a few years and once again the school and school board have cut his education assistance even more...now it's one third day, every other day...and they're insisting he takes French....French!! The poor guy is having a hard enough time with English! So, I'll get my grand girls, come home and make supper for 8 people...son Paul is going back to the army base after his summer leave and him and his girl Sara, will be here for supper. Than the kids have been yammering about going to youth group tonight...not real sure if they'll get there or not...all depends if hubby and I can find the energy after the week we've had...and so life in this household as it is, moves on.....leave you with a couple of pictures....sweet Samuel and the kids first day back to school pic...good grief...just thot...next September it should just be Megan in the pic.....yes!...things are moving along aren't they?
Have a good one ladies!

Dear Marie...I am exhausted just reading your days! I don't know how you do it! Lots of prayer for your teens...
They say it is going to warm up slightly but I agree, that was one cold first week of school!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi there! I haven't been around for coffee much in the past few months. Been busy getting settled. Just want to stop in and say hello. Looks like you could use some prayer with the start of school and all that's happening there. Sending prayers your way!
BTW, your link isn't working on Rachel's site. I just knew where to find you. :)
Have a great day!
Melissa
Reading your post gave me a "head rush." Bless your precious heart, may our Lord grant you wisdom during these perilous times.
I hope the weekend brings refreshment to your soul and body. Blessings!
You should get your own reality show. Lifting you and your family up in my prayers. May God continue to give you guidance in every circumstance. Just do what you can and He will do the rest.
I admire you. I have been reading in my quiet time about being joyful in trial and how endurance produces hope and being repaid according to our deeds whether good or worthless... I think you are earning one special reward! ;-)
That little precious smiling face...certainly on a GOOD day that would be your bright spot, but considering what you're through, I bet it's like a light in the darkness. God bless you!!
