Sandy I hate to hear that. Maybe if you can get a good nights sleep you'll feel better in the morning.....at least I hope so.


Today has been a bit stressful. Ricky and a friend left at 7 this morning to drive about an hour away to some car/trucks part salvage yard. He didn't call or phone at all until finally around 3 this afternoon we called him. The roads were bad and there were reported accidents all over the area they were going. All we really ask of him is to check in with us. To let us know he's okay. He's 21 years old now and needs to show some consideration.

Another sore spot is the friend he took with him is only 17 years old. We wish he would find someone older to hang with, but says all his other friends are at work or work different shifts. It just makes his dad and I a little uncomfortable.

He's also spending money when we told him he needs to pay his school loans off first. We just can't seem to get through to him. We are just a bit upset with him right now and now he's upset with his dad because his friend will have to find some place else to work on his junk vehicles and not in our garage. So....... I was hoping there would be no drama for awhile, but it seems I can't escape it. Sometimes it can be so hard being a parent, but I'm sure you all already know that.
