WHEN I GO FROM Downward Dog to Mountain I have to STEP NOT HOP!

fluffy-yeah, the school counselor said that we need to go. I brought it up to DH and he is totally against it. He says that DS is just stupid and that he doesn't know where his brain is at. He says that what he needs is a good beating. My best friend said that he needs a good beating too. I personally think he has issued deeper inside then just that he wasn't thinking at the time. My husband is totally against the therapy thing with him. I think we should. I just don't know how to get the confidence and stand up to DH and just take him anyways. I know it'll help, and if it doesn't, we haven't lost anything. Uuuuuhhhhhh. So frustrating. I have thought about homeschooling for alittle while because of all the trouble he gets into. And he knows better.

TK I'm sorry you're dealing with this all. You have to do what you feel is right. And generally, the right answer is always the hardest one.

Me Just went for a 10mile bike ride. it feels good and bad at the same time. Prolly shouldn't have gone that far, now my hips are feeling it. But in the long run it will help my hips...
Gotta get going soon still have to pick up BC and go to work... that'll be fun..

tk - I am so sorry you are having to go through this with your son. I wonder if your husband is so opposed to counseling because he fears the counselor will blame your son's behavior on his exposure to your husband's PTSD behavior? I really feel for everything you are going through. :hug:

I've been frantically trying to get everything done but there just aren't enough hours in the day. I was leaving Office Max after getting stuff for day camp and on my way to pick up Brian from gymnastics when Robert texted me "Read email ASAP". I'm in my car, not by the computer. I get to gymnastics and he's not there but he shows up soon. I guess he was off checking his email to see if I had replied. I mean, I am on my computer a lot during the day but not every minute. It turns out he sent:
Please bring his camping stuff to gymnastics tonight.

With your paranoia about my taking my own stuff out of the house with you gone I will not set foot in it without an adult witness.

Bring his stuff with dinner money tonight or make other arrangements.

Now he sends this 19 minutes before gymnastics ends and it is a 15 minute drive to gymnastics. My "paranoia" was the fact that he took stuff from the sewing box that was mine last time he was there packing up and I didn't want him taking boxes from the bedroom with me not there. I told him that last Sat and he was emailing me this at the last minute. Anyway, I had to delay my plans to stop by a pack meeting and talk to their parents about camp so I could go home and get his camping stuff and drop it off with additional money for Friday dinner. I was so angry at him! Brian really wants to go camping tomorrow and threatening to refuse to take him is just not fair.

Barbara, that's ridiculous! I can't believe how spiteful he's being, and putting Brian in the middle of it is disgraceful. Thank goodness Brian has a wonderful mother who adores him and does what is best for him!

I'm just popping in to say hello!

I left work at noon today. My cedar allergies have been going nuts and I have almost no voice. Makes it really hard to have meetings and talk on the phone. And it was really nice out and it's going to rain this weekend. One really good thing about my job is the flexibility - I can skip out at noon when it's nice and do work at home over the weekend when it's rainy. That works for me :) I played in my garden for awhile then my new bike arrived so I took it out for a quick spin.

I'm not looking forward to the rain but I'll be glad to have my voice back!

Barb! It's egregious that he is being like this just because his ego was bruised. Men can be so thickheaded sometimes. It's really too bad that he's taking this out on your son.
If you want, I can have my son call him a poohead for you. It's his new favorite word. :o

My husband and I went for lunch to celebrate my fitting into my jeans. I was proud that I didn't break my streak at all. We went to a deli, and I had a salad bar. I picked spinach with fresh red peppers, mushrooms, cauliflower, and broccoli. I also had some balsamic vinegar and almonds on my salad. My son had strawberry shortcake for dessert and I didn't even touch it....although I did smell it for awhile...which kind of freaked my husband out. It was so comforting! I was so tempted to lick it.

Off to make dinner for a friend that is coming over to watch Scrubs :) Tonight we're having BBQ chicken, spicy cabbage slaw and something else...not sure what.

Barb, I'm sorry he's being a jerk... totally.

Since you are so involved in the Scouting stuff Barb, I would guess he sees it as a way to get to you, and just not thinking about how Brian feels. At least I hope so because if he's intentionally trying to upset his son to get to you, then he's a waste of skin.

I haven't had much trouble with allergies so far until today. It was gorgeous and so I opened all the windows, and sure enough the headache arrived by 1PM.

Schmoodle, have you ever tried taking alfalfa tablets? My husband takes them and his allergies have been pretty much non-existent since he started.
