A Day In The Life

RYC: Good old apple cider vinegar. Will wonders never cease? :)

Wow I applaud you for all that you do.I know about the tomato smell ,love it.My dad had a large garden and we would sell tomatoes at the road side.And dehydrating food I have thought of it,but have not done it.Do you know of a possessor that is the better one to get.I would love to have a yard full of sunflowers my grandmother use to have them and I believe my aunt did too,I right now have a variety of stuff and doing more.My second son was on meds for a while and I got hit on the head with a hockey stick before when he was going through his bouts of I hate everyone,I had to get him to the floor and sit on him until he calmed down.It was nice when he had nice days ,I would tell him and praise him for the days he was nice, and not wild and mean.I would say I see you can do it,your heart is good,you just have your moments.He is now 18 and is seemingly doing better from what he was lol a lot better but he still has his moments but because of him being older he is thinking it out more.I would tell him to find something that helps you calm down with out hurting anyone or anything,like meditate or do something similar.He would go out and walk a path for hours listening to his music.This was a path of a figure eight on one side of the yard,he wore a path he did it so much.But it helped him to calm down.Those were hell days,and I did call the police a few times when they got to be bigger then I could handle and dad was not available.My oldest and him would get into bad fights and I told them if you don't stop I will call 911.They did not so I did,but I did not think that the number went through because I hung up immediately,I was just trying to scare them.Well the police showed up anyways and I was glad.He sat them both down and gave them a huge talk and then told me in front of them if I had anymore problems I could call again.Lol they stopped and went to there room in shock lol,after they heard the legal end of what they were doing.I did not want to do it either but when push came to shove I had no other choice..Wow this is long,but I feel for you ,my son at that age was the worst,wow what a time.Get him what ever help he need to keep him in school even private if you can afford it.My son quiet high school,he was in the SLD/ED programs,but still did not make it.And we tried hard but he would not.He knows it now and is planning on going to adult high school.I hope he really does.

Lol I better stop,just do the best you can.

Have you dry pineapples and watermelons yet? Ohhh it was so delicous!!

Good luck, Deb

Maybe Husband should start giving the meds to #1. Sounds like you'll be taking your life in your hands if the violent moods escalate with physical maturity.

Think about it!

Well, maybe the next step is a straitjacket. (Only partly kidding)

Dish soap, water, and a trampoline? I'll play!! but I'm a whole lot easier to wear out than a teenager.
