My daughter is doing her Exceptional Ed student teaching and has had great stories as well as horror stories.<br /><br />After 6 years of struggling on his own, we have our 27 yr old son move back in with us until his life settles down a little. I still have high hopes that he can get it back together.<br /><br />Hope your weather will be starting to cool down. We're looking forward to Rocktober.<br /><br />Little Miss Sunshine Statehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17711983216022805951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794422163568443047.post-68280770996843371962012-08-31T15:28:25.041-05:002012-08-31T15:28:25.041-05:00I second the support for CBT.

My daughter is studying this in grad school and she is a big proponent of it. I would just give the mom a gas card and explain that your son has some issues and can't drive in a car with other kids. As you get to know her, I'm sure you'll find the right time to share more if need be. Kudos on the weight loss. I think I am gaining your 20, so stop! love you!Lorettahttp://artjournaler.typepad.com/pomegranatesandpaper/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794422163568443047.post-87655885277670327142012-08-31T11:28:44.179-05:002012-08-31T11:28:44.179-05:00Best of luck to your son.

Not even being able to ride in the same car with his sister? That is brutal. I hope things turn out exactly the way you wish.<br /><br />You'll be delighted to know I am (still) 30 lbs. from my goal weight. My stress diet apparently works the opposite of yours.Cynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794422163568443047.post-49350790652645502022012-08-31T11:18:24.852-05:002012-08-31T11:18:24.852-05:00Oh Kathy, sorry to hear C is not handling the scho...Oh Kathy, sorry to hear C is not handling the school well albeit the great support.<br />I hope the meds can be changed/balanced in order to make him feel better.<br />That stress diet?

Since then, I have only seen therapists that practice it. My results were amazing, and I still use the techniques today when I need to and they still work really well. Fingers crossed, and I'm picturing the same future for C that you have for him :)Jaye Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11770506885754168731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794422163568443047.post-63165152800743350462012-08-30T18:15:36.171-05:002012-08-30T18:15:36.171-05:00Kathy, I hope C has the very same future you have ...Kathy, I hope C has the very same future you have for him. You are the most dedicated mother and it is wonderful that the staff at his school is so understanding. Get a Visa gift card for H's driver to use for gas. Give it to her with or without the cookies. At some point you may need to give her a quick explanation of why you aren't driving the girls.<br />Life is good here but 104 today sucks. The weekend is supposed to be cooler. I am still 6-7 lbs from my goal, yo yoing. As I type I am watching Forks Over Knives via Amazon Prime streaming. I got the recipe book from the library. Poor husband. He loves lentils, beans and vegetables but really loves a good steak. I just want to learn more but don't plan to be only vegetarian or vegan. Tonight we are having crock pot lentil soup today with our homegrown tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers.<br />I'll raise a glass of my skinnygirl Cosmo when you reach your goal.<br />Audreyreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17183154070867321092noreply@blogger.com
