Yeah, I know what you mean about the tests. DH and I didn't know that when you turn to God, there is a testing period that follows. DH said he wishes that we found God when we had a better nestegg LOL.
He's just kidding of course, but the testing period is not fun. I was recently tested over Christmas and even got kind of angry at God and was tempted to turn away - for a lot less than what you're going through. It lasted for a few minutes at best, but scared the bajeebers out of me. The enemy is sneaky that way. The enemy wants us to believe that it's an unanswered prayer and God's fault rather than his work. One of the things I learned from that experience though, is that after a "test" like that I found myself closer to God than before. HUGS hg!!! Sorry to wane "preachy". I will cont. to pray for healing and peace for you.
Hello Cons!
I feel so bad for DS. He has ADHD and all the social issues that go along with it. He's slowly going back to regular school after being homeschooled last year and this year (he goes to regular school for reading), but when he goes back he'll be a year back-basically repeating 3rd grade in a weird way. He doesn't have a lot of friends.
We have a fish fry at church tonight and DD invited a friend to come home with her after school and go to the fish fry. DS wanted to invite a friend, too. So I called the mom of the friend-mom said yes, friend was excited, DS was thrilled.
This morning I turned on my cell and friend's mom had called saying her son was sick and can't come. Last night she said the whole family was sick except the friend (mom sounded sick on the phone). When I told DS, he was crushed, and I thought he was going to cry, but instead he went all stoic, which is somewhat worse.Doesn't help that both DD's are social butterflies and are constantly getting invites to go places with friends. I have a couple more friend options I'm going to try for DS, so we'll see how this plays out.
Thanks for listening!
Awww, that's so sad! Hugs to your little guy and you. It's hard for a parent to see their child hurt. DD is just now starting to get invited to a ton of birthday parties and such where DS is lucky to get one invite a year. Also, last night our prayer group held it at the church and childcare was provided. When we went to pick up DD and DS - DS was hiding under a table while all the other kids were playing. It took us about 5 min. to get him out because he was so upset the other kids were ignoring him. On the other hand DD had to give hugs to everyone before she left because she had made friends with everyone in the room. I know what you're going through and it stinks.
I really hope one of the other friend options work out! hugs
Seriously though, guys, I am going to try to call Glenn back on Monday so even though this sounds dumb, could you maybe just say a little prayer that I can get through to talk to him? I've been wanting to actually get to talk directly to him for a while now and the way things went this morning gives me a good strong feeling that I'll be able to come Monday. So I know that sounds weird.... but I'd appreciate it.
I can understand the ADHD issue, because my brother has ADHD and goes through the same thing as your DS.
So he'll order them closed on "Day 1", per all of those headlines a few days back, but hopefully actually doing it sometime in the next four years is what's really gonna happen... which was basically the same time frame that Bush was shooting for! What bold leadership and action!
I am SO GLAD I am not a sophomore this year, which would have made me eligible to attend the inauguration with my college!!!!! I would have said not no, but hell no!!!!
I need to be someplace warm.
He's so upset and frustrated. I'm bummed too, but we'll get over it. I told him we'll just get the grocery shopping done (we're staying in a condo) and be ready to do nothing but have fun when he gets there. I'm a little freaked out about having to drive back up to LAX and find him the next day. I'm not crazy about large crowded places with bad traffic. 
I guess they've decided that desperate times call for desperate measures. Even my friends know better than to hand me that sort of ammunition. Just let me know what sticks in your craw, and I'll be sure to keep shoving it in.
