Hello my fellow DISpeeps. I am here. I have been reading and keeping up but haven't really felt much like posting. My son graduates from High School today and I am NOT there sadly. My son's district decided to move graduation a week early because they will have enough school days on the books (no snow days, hurricanes, tornados or broken toes) so they don't need an extra week of education. My son did not inform me till two weeks ago and by that time our june schedule was fixed and I couldn't find someone to work for me.

Okay, so I am feeling like the worst mom in the world because I won't be at my son's graduation. HOWEVER, his birth father will have his wife there taking pics and sending them to me. I am happy that I get the pics, my son and I have had a lovely talk and I am trying to come to terms with the fact I won't be there to see my only son graduate. I feel like the worst mom in the world at the moment. Is there bad mom prison? I would gladly go.

On a better note. . .My son will be here on June 11 and will be staying for the entire summer. He is excited about being here and we have already lined up a temp job for him at the local Target (he already works at his local Target. This is almost like a transfer). He will go to boot camp for the Navy in September and that is all his wishes coming true. . . at this point in his life. . .lol.

So how is everyone? I miss all of you. Will try to be more active soon. . .

You are not the worst mom in the world. If you had never planned to attend because you didn't care, you'd be a lot closer than having circumstances you can't control.

And yay for getting to have him the entire summer. September is a good time for boot camp. He'll miss a lot of the hot, but get out before the snow is likely to get too bad

Darcy--I share your pain. My daughter had her junior prom two weeks ago, and I had to watch from a distance. Her photos were beautiful, but I would have preferred to see her in person.

Thank you Dave. . .I know you get it. . .its great to hear from you.

Thanks sweetie. . .I needed that.

I know I cant control the circumstances, but it doesnt make it better. I am an unhappy camper at the moment. I love all of you

 

[ahoff]

That is too bad you cannot make it to the graduation, but it is not your fault. You were planning on going but lack of communication derailed the plans. Something that is so typical of today's teens. If I didn't get email updates from the school I would not know what is going on as he doesn't share any info. But you will have the summer with him!

I'm sorry you will miss his graduation. But you are not a bad mom, from all of your stories about your son you sound like a wonderful Mom. Try to focus on the fact that you will be seeing him soon and will get to spend the whole summer with him before he goes of to boot camp.

I hope you have a great day!

 

[nurse.darcy]

You all have made my day as did my son. He called me this morning all ready to tell me how muchy he will miss me today and very sorry that I can't be there.

He is excited to come out here for the summer. Can't wait.

How sweet of him! He sounds like a great kid.

I was thinking that I'm sorry you won't be able to see him today, too. But then it occurred to me that he has a lifetime of love and support that you have given to him and he keeps that with him always. So, in a way, I figure you're still there in spirit.

Girl, he is awesome. Several of the peeps I have met on here know him because they have seen him and met him.

I'm sure it sucks, I'm sure you feel bad, however it was beyond your control, make the best of the situation,

take the money you were going to spend on airfare etc..
and do some special things with your son when he gets to Florida, ..such as..a fantastic graduation dinner, take him to see blueman group if he has never seen them.

my top suggestion.. Pirates Dinner Adventure. http://www.piratesdinneradventure.com/index.php?page=Pirates-Dinner-Adventure-Orlando-Florida

I've also heard fantastic things about Treasure Tavern http://www.treasuretavern.com/

I'm hoping to go there on my next trip home..

Thanks my friend. I already have had 3 calls from him today. He is such a wonderful boy. I am a lucky mom.

Congrats! And welcome back. We missed you.





WELL.... if you want to make the trip in Late July, I'm sure something can be arranged. My Company Picnic is at Hershey Park on July 30th this year, and I'm still trying to figure out who to bring with my extra free ticket.

oooh pick me! pick me!!
