[QUOTE="200Meters, post: 750522, member: 23727"] Hey all Well, Youngest is back. Our younger (and much bigger) hound was [I]very[/I] excited to see him and stayed close to him his first night back. Our older (and much smaller) hound was like, "Eh, you'e back. Hi." Youngest has had a lot of friends coming & going, kids (note: I refer to anyone younger than me as a "kid". As Mrs. 200Meters says, that is an increasingly larger subset of humanity) that, except for one, are all from our neighborhood and whom we approve of & hope Youngest will become closer to again. We told him that until last night he could let his hair down, as it were, but that as of last night, when he had to go to bed at a decent hour & be ready for the day center this morning. The one kid that we're not so keen on is one of his former pot-smoking friends whom we have never liked. He did time in a closed, residential drug addiction treatment facility up north. I asked one of Youngest's neighborhood friends how this kid is doing & he said much better. Mrs. 200Meters & I still don't like him. Youngest has been fine. He and his best friend cleaned our yard & assembled a new gas grill that we bought (and which was waaay too complicated for me). We were out of our suburban apartment before 07:00 this morning and zipped into Jerusalem. We got to the day center just after 07:30. Youngest has to be there at 08:00 and no later than 08:15. We went to the day center at 07:50. There were two young men, who appeared to be a little older than Youngest (18.5), waiting. I imagine that neither of them has an electronic ankle thinggie since no adult was waiting. (I figure that since Youngest [I]does[/I] have an electronic ankle thinggie, Mrs. 200Meters and i can't just drop him off and go. We have to wait until a staffer shows up and opens up the center.) One of the staff members whom we had met previously showed up just before 08:00. She greeted Youngest. I gave her a copy of last Wednesday's court decision & was off to work. It's now 13:50. I'll have to leave around 14:35 (after working only 6.25 hours, I'm supposed to work 8.5) to go get Youngest & take him home. Mrs. 200Meters is off to a wedding tonight. I won't even be able to walk the hounds until she gets back. It will take us a while, I imagine, to find our rhythm and get used to doing things differently as we babysit, I guess I shouldn't say that, as we [I]mind[/I] Youngest. I wonder how Youngest's day is going at the day center... [/QUOTE]
