You all are so funny... :rofl:
To be perfectly honest... I didn't want everyone to think that I just appeared because difficult child is back. :frown: I didn't want people to think I was a fair weather friend. :frown: I was hoping to just meld in. :smile: But you deserve an update. So here goes. :smile:
About Me: I have been working at the MSP Airport for about 8 months now, in a Sterling Silver Jewelry store on the Main Concourse... and I love it. :smile: I work a lot of hours and talk has it that I will be managing my own store soon. :smile: I've changed a lot since difficult child was away for 9 months and it is a good change. :smile:
husband is doing well although Thursday we found out he might have a tumor in his ear so we are having that checked out and holding good thoughts. We celebrated our 18th anniversary in September and are still going strong. :smile:
A tree fell on our house in August, due to a storm. A 52yo Maple tree. :frown: Went through the picture window and landed on the roof. Spent a couple of days chasing dragon flies out of the house and $10,000 later the house is back to normal. I was very lucky as I had fallen asleep on the couch, not far from the picture window. :smile:
Now to difficult child... His stay in Arizona was not a pleasant one.. for all concerned down there. His brother kicked him out approximately 2 months after he got there.. because of his attitude.. we were told. He then went to live with his bio-mom who he had just met after 17years (and disliked immensly)... I spoke to him on the phone and she was swearing at me in the background... such a lady dontchaknow.
Anyway, difficult child had his alcohol, and drugs, supplied by her and her boyfriend and developed quite the habit, she even went with him to buy a bong. :frown: They were evicted and were living out of hotels, a few of them. :frown: She stole money from him and he took her needles (she is a diabetic) to sell on the streets. :frown:
He called husband in the middle of December and said: "Dad, you were right.. can I please come home?" husband called me at work and we decided to give him another chance.. knowing full well the extent of what we might be dealing with. He came home on December 16th, with an attitude of gratitude and has been filling out multiple applications and checking out different schools. husband and I have been watching for signs of drug use and withdrawal and have seen none.
husband and I are not stupid enought to think that there will be no problems but like I have said earlier... we will have no problem showing him the door and helping him through it if need be. :smile:
So there you have it. I could type a lot more but difficult child is in the vicinity and .. well... you all know what that means when you are typing on the board. :smile:
I just love you guys..
