The Old Folks Home

[ronott1]

Boys are good.... all 5 are back home, had you heard that?

Eldest is finally --slowly-- getting himself together and working on online college. Looks like that is actually going to work.

Second is actually socializing... of course just with hordes of girls... no boys in the pack. Dang child is kind and so good socially, that everyone loves him. Scares the snot out of me. Mostly because I was HORRID as a child. As far as I can tell though, he is being good. Not sure why my boys are so good...

Kid three is still being great at his job. His boss loves him, can't praise him enough. He is being good , and saving half of what he earns. And it looks like he will get his driver's license this fall... yeah.. the first. (21 and 18 year old don't have one). But the 16 year old is a better driver.... so I am happy about that.

I do need to bump up the insurance on the main car though... in case he totals it (not that I think he will be a bad driver... but just to be safe).. . To save money we only have liability on the cars.. our newest car is almost 14 years old... and most are just barely hanging on... the "new" almost 14 year old one has so much duct tape on it...

Nice update on the Family! Is the oldest taking something for adhd?

Why thank you!

I was just starving today. .

Spouse was on a semi-rampage thing running around the house doing stuff... I came in after my coffee morning (my one social thing I do every week), and I hadn't eaten yet... wanted to save money so I was waiting to eat at home...

I came in at almost 3... and had only had 2 cups of coffee..... and there was meatloaf on the stove hot from the oven! I took 2 bites and then was shooed away... turns out the meatloaf was for tomorrow coffee hour... and spouse had other stuff planned for the kitchen.... so I snuck off... was scared to make a snack

Didn't get to eat until almost 7!

Food was great though... homemade mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts cooked in lots of bacon, and a chicken breast. But I just about died waiting to be fed.

You need more coffee and regularly scheduled food!

No, I had not heard, but I have been sick with Lyme Disease and busy with the animals.

He is.... but I am not sure if we have gotten to where we want to be...

He is on the third level of drug two... and he on occasion still forgets to take a pill.... I guess we will try one more uptick of dosage next month....

Such a process!

It can be quite a process!

Is He going to behavioral therapy too?

She has talked about possibly me for room and board? She has talked about moving to another area. Care for 5 nutjob pups in exchange for room and board?

Now Bruce, they aren't nutjobs. they are just Amishly challenged. Room and board wouldn't work. She'd either be sleeping in the attic with the cat litter boxes, the barn with the mice and raccoons, or the chicken coop with the chickens roosting on her head and pooping in her face.

There is just no more room at this inn.
