Hi Prentice!! Believe it or not, an hour ago I had to shut the office door, put up a sign and crash on the couch for an hour. You must be an expert after raising 4 kids. My son decided last night to really challenge everything. He was supposed to go and pick up our ghetto blaster which he had pawned. I gave him my bank card because I knew it was $60.00 to get it back. He was to be gone for 20 minutes. Hours later I decided to check my bank balance and it was like $150.00 less than when he left, a half hour after that it was another $60.00 short. I quickly cancelled by debit card and I was in such a rage I could hardly stand it. Then my husband came home and I got h#ll from him for letting the kid have the car and especially my bank card. However, I trusted him because he's been pretty good for quite awhile. Anyway, by 3.30 this morning he decides to roll in and I left him a note on the stairs and said, "Come to my bedroom when you get in because your in severe trouble? He knocked on the door and I, being wide awake and pumping with adrenalin, got up, opened the door and punched him right in the chest. He's too tall for me get his cheek. I'm telling you I'm still upset today. His eyes were complete with dilated pupils!! I am so mad and upset still that I would like to choke him. I know very well he was up to no good. So you see Valerie isn't the only one who has trouble with boys at times. My husband didn't say anything until this morning. I was just lying in wait for him. What an awful experience having a kid that is such a challenge. I thought we were through with this crap but looks like it may have surfaced again. Told him today, LAST chance if your gonna live here. GRRRRR!! I'm sure you probably handled your situations much more reasonably. In any event, I am thrashed today!! Thanks for letting me rant!!
