Summer Fun

I can't believe it's been 9 months since I posted anything.
So what's new?
Busy,busy at work.of course.
My son , 16 nearly totalled my car.
Ins. estimate $11,900 repair. That's going to raise my payments, no doubt..
He went to work at McDonalds for a month or so, but couldn't handle it and
basically lived with friends for the Summer.
At least he has a girlfried with a truck to drive him around and keep him busy now.
He got into trouble at school. two fights and two 3-day suspensions.
I asked him about it this last time and he said some of his former best friends
were taunting him (I won't go into what they were saying, but it was poisonous garbage)
and he lost it.
I remember too well how it can be. I was a fat kid and got lot of grief in elementary
school - not so much in high school because I was tall as well as 'hefty'.
I never read 'Lord of the Flies', but from what I heard, sounds like a typical school/kids
experience.

Middle daughter trashed two cars in two weeks. One was stolen by someone and trashed.
She fell asleep while driving the other one, jumped a rail and landed upside down in someone's
garden.
