there is a light that never goes out...

Strange week. Got bitten by some blood thirsty predatory creature... (no, not that kind) ;) and he didn't even leave a bite mark... but instead, I have an infection that feels and looks like someone implanted a golf ball in my arm... and then, much work stress... too much to go into... just problems... always problems. And most of them involve trying to get something DONE and not only that, but done CORRECTLY, the first time!

Then, I had to pick up Adam from Ourlasthopeinhell which looks more glorious and heavenly every time I visit the place. The gardens look like something out of a fairy tale. I was a bit late, but Adam didn't seem to mind too much and he looked really good. He's grown in the seven months since he's been there...

Here's a tune from the Smiths that Aaron was listening to, (there is a light that never goes out) in addition to Fleetwood Mac and Weather Report. wow!  Enjoy!

But then... the second the car door shuts... it begins as we start our long decent off of the mountain.

GET ME OUTTA THERE!!!

What happened to???

"I'm fine. absolutely fine."

Obviously, these tirades are reserved for those times when he knows that I cannot escape. (I did however, at one point threaten to turn the car around and drive him back!) On and on and on... and when I am purposely ignoring him... he says...

"Are you listening?"

Do I have a choice?

It goes on and on about how he COULD'VE stayed at Ivyleagueprep (our home district high school in Whinyentitledton)...

NO YOU COULD NOT.

And the reasons go on and on and on... as well and it wasn't just HIM. Its the OTHER kids. The "neuro-typicals"... haha... crazy little fuckers. Its just too big, too many kids, not enough supervision. not enough people who have any idea how to deal with him and not enough of the appropriate BOUNDARIES.

isn't that the buzz word of the century...

boundaries.

i mean... one day it meant the border between states and the next day it is all I ever hear.

These are my boundaries-- okay? Well kiss my tired ass! Sounds like a nouvelle word for ULTIMATUM. hmmm? Don't hear that word, anymore... now, do we?  Now, its BOUNDARIES.haha!

I'm tired... I'm so very tired. What's wrong with this kid? (rhetorical question) But...then...  as sure as God parted the Red Sea for Moses and my chosen foremotherfathers...;) (now THAT was a boundary!) the moment we pulled into our little road... Adam said this:

"you know... Ourlasthopeinhell isn't really so bad... After all, if I hadn't gone, I wouldn't have met BF."

I think I'm gonna stick with that version. ;)

no wonder I am crazy.

I would be crazy if I wasn't.
