See my post below...I don't have any idea what I did with your phone number, don't know if i would have called you last night, was too hysterical, but freaked out when i couldn't find it...i'm okay right this minute...doing what i'm supposed to be doing with my meds finally. that will help. am trying to get myself under control as much as i can...but i explained that in the other post. i will be okay again...just having a rough few days. today is some better...took an ativan just a bit ago, and that really chilled me out, but now i'm sleepy...probably good as i didn't sleep again, and its day 3. REALLY HAVE to sleep tonight.

Home was bad last night...Eric asked for money, I said no. Didn't have it...he said okay, but then didn't really have much to say all night...whatever. I do NOT have any money...ya know? triggered me bad though...i have to learn to take care of me...alone. i can't allow myself to treat him and others badly because i'm BP though...that isn't acceptable either. i can't be treated any differently because i go into a rage...there are STILL consequences to my behaviors and i need that reminder.

Anyway, just wanted to check in...I'm really so happy you're doing so well...its amazing, and i want to get to that place one day.

love you

Hey! Hope you got my voicemail with the numbers. Put them somewhere safe at home so you can reach me!!!!!!

I'm glad the agitation is gone/diminished. You need to find a way to stay on your meds - those couple days without them always mess you up...not to mention it always is hitting you right around your pms week - just "lucky" timing because of your sucky pay schedule.:(

BUT YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT!

Don't feel bad about telling Eric and Mike no, especially when they ask for money. Mike is old enough for a part time job - he can earn his own money. Then maybe he will start to appreciate the amount of work you have to do for it.

Your meds are MUCH more important then anything else. It's that simple.

I'll ttyl!
LOVE YOU

I got em...home number in my cell now...

mike's teacher just called me...the one i think is a nut job...she said, i need to talk to you about eric...i said, okay...she said these three words only...eating, talking, and working...talk to him tonight and CALL ME AT HOME once you have. WTF. This lady is crazy and i've had problems with her all year. Now I have to call her tonight at home??? I don't think so. I will send a note back to her tomorrow TO THE SCHOOL.

Mike has a project due Friday...so he is going to the library WHEN HE GETS HOME FROM SCHOOL on his own, to start it...he can finish it tomorrow...the library is in walking distance. Stupid wench. I've not liked her from day 1. This is the class he gets a D in. Science. She gives them these college level projects to do, and then expects the parents to jump through hoops all the time too. Freak.

Whatever. Now, I WILL punish him for talking, eating, etc. in class. He knows better. So, he will be grounded for a while...and he HATES staying in his room and not going to friends...but oh well.

I'm glad you got the numbers.

Call Mike's principal. Explain that this teacher called you with some cryptic message and instructed you to call her at home. That is WAY out of bounds. If she has an issue with your son, she should call and explain it to you. If there is something that needs follow up, you can do so during school hours either via phone or note. If she can't deal with THAT, she can work with you ONLY through the principal. As for what you do at home about him talking and eating, that is YOUR business and NOT hers.

Hang in there!!!

k, this is funny...in a not so funny way...the freak...i talked to mike...he asked ME what worked he had missed...i said, she didn't print out a progress report like she told me she would? he said no...and was worried that he'd missed something he was supposed to do...he said there is a project due on FRIDAY that he has planned out and there is a whole class period tomorrow set aside to work on it, then tomorrow night he planned on doing the display. He said he wished she would print out a progress report, because he is worried what she says he is missing, because he knows he hasn't missed a project. As for eating, he got caught, with about 4 other students, eating a lollipop. I told him not to do that anymore. He said as far as talking, he did talk with other students, but they all talk. I said, don't talk. He was astounded that she wanted me to call her at home tonight to give her a report of his "consequences" and my talk with him.

There is no way in you know where that I will ever go there with her.

I am going to email her and let her know that she can call me at work with any legitimate concerns, that I expect a weekly progress report (since she has made it an issue), and that I will not be contacting her on MY time at HER home. If it happens again, I will report it to the principal.

She's been a freak since day one. I told him to do his work like he has been, and get out of her class when school is out in a few months. If he squeaks by with C's and D's so be it.

I did tell him if he didn't stop eating or talking, he would be grounded for a week without anything in his room, and he agreed.

Stupid teacher.

LOL. I'm still okay. Ativan is my new best friend. Still a bit agitated, but NOTHING like I was. I can do this...
