the long holiday weekend is over...have to get back to work :O(

i am ready to beat my younger child with the stupid stick. i caught him with cigarettes....menthol no less. this is while he is on meds for pnumonia and the drs. are checking him for asthma and were trying to get him to admit to smoking. of course...he lied. we are not stupid adults. i have been trying to catch him for a few weeks now and i finally did. we just spent $$$ on meds which include inhalers for him. i refuse to buy refills if he is filling his lungs like that.
he is spending the day with his father hunting so i'm sure he is getting an earful!! his friends-whoever is buying the cigs for him- sure will get it from me. GGGRRRR!!!

on a much happier note.....the ex is moving out of the country!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll be learning goodbye in german...soon!!

he applied for and was granted a civilian job at an army base in germany. he leaves in a few months..and beleive me it cannot get here fast enough!!! he will be there for 3-5 years or even longer til he retires. HAPPY DANCIN !!!!!

happy monday all!!

hugs,pat

Sorry to hear about Ds .. and the smoking ::sigh::
Hopefully you can get him to quit before it is too late.
Even with asthma & all .. still he can manage.
Good luck with that & do let us know.
YaY on your ex leaving the country .. happy for you :)

kids own up to something? NEVER!!! someday he will learn.i will not give permission and heaven help the person who is buying them for him. best not be a kid working at the gas station. i refuse to allow it in the house and hopefully he'll get sick of the treatment he gets from me and his father.

the ex is going to ansbach. jeremy is excited to go visit. it is beautiful there.
thanks for the goodbye lesson!! i won't need any other words for them!! lol

silly of me to put the stupid stick away!! good thing i keep it handy,tho. i really thought he'd learn..but no. and he can't figure out what i am so upset about or why.
no the father doesn't smoke either and the boys know how we feel about it. just the older brother and friends. i'll beat them too. seems someone gave him the notion that menthol is better for you when sick. oh...stupid boys. GGGRRRR!!!

thanks, hugs :O)

he knows i don't trust his word anymore. sad when you can't trust your own kids.
i told him i refuse to buy another inhaler while he is smoking. that was $$ i needed to get my car fixed spent on the meds. he'll be 18 in a few weeks...he can buy it himself. maybe he'll spend less on the cigs once he sees the cost of the meds.

i have no idea why the ex is miserable but i cannot wait for him to leave the country...count down is on!!!
