So, my son started his new job today

[MissMillie]

here on campus.

We'll be carpooling for a while, so that we can get his car situation straightened out (long story).

It'll be a good thing to car pool anyway, the gas expense right away will kill any chance he has in climbing out of the financial hole he is in.

It may mean that I am away from my home from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m..... but we'll see. If I need to do that for a couple of months I can. I won't like it, but I'll do it, as long as he's willing to let me help him straighten out his finances (he is HORRIBLE w/ money).

Anyway, he's here. And he's working. And I really hope he works hard and does well (that's one thing he has been good about--he's a worker).

I can't tell you how badly he needs something to feel good about... I hope this is it.

1. MissMillie...I know what a terrific mom you are, and here you

are being terrific again. I hope that boy realizes how much you've given up for him and just how much you love him. I admire you so very much.

2. Wow. He is so lucky to have you.

You are a fantastic mom, MissMillie.

Hope he does well.

3. I came damned close to throwing him out this week

It's really getting to the point where he can accept my help and do as I ask, or he can get out.

I hate to be that controlling, but it seems he just can't seem to make a sound decision on his own. And all his bad decisions are just costing me money that I truly don't have anymore.

I'm hoping to start my own business in the coming months... he needs to be a little more solvent.

I need to take care of me. I'm hoping that we can get him straightened out so that I can do that.

Maybe, just maybe, we can put the last 2.5 years behind us.... that would be nice.
