Just catching up on your update.  Sorry to hear that there are some missing posts.  Yikes!

It's good to hear that your M is doing well after having her hip broken.  If I have any health issues, I will think of your M and maybe it will give me motivation to push through.

I drop in occasionally - thanks for the update, UM. 

Your life sounds quite busy, as always.  Nice to read that you still are getting out on the motorcycle and that your kids enjoy it as well.  I was on the Harley this past weekend enjoying fall colors.  I love this time of year.   

I'm still teaching and am going to become a first time grandmother in February! 

I also am appreciative of all you do behind the scenes here on THS.   Thanks!

Congrats on the new grandbaby SB!  Hijacking UM's thread to send the congrats, I'm sure he won't mind.

Just a short aside....

Had an interesting chat with D12's IC this morning (I am the one that gets the bills). I let her know that D12 is again missing lots of school due to "being ill" with  a "stomach virus" (this was the usual old complaint because no one could really verify it if she was feeling nauseous and it is MLCxW's Modus Operendi when she didn't want to do something or go somewhere) to the tune that D12 is missing on average 2 days every 2nd week so one day per week.  The IC was NOT happy and has figured out that D12 and MLCxW have been feeding her (the IC) a line and not telling her (again the IC) the real truth of what is going on. The IC was very appreciative that I gave her that information.

MLCxW will NOT be happy because it likely means that the IC will call D12 out on this and ask what is going on. It will be then on D12 to tell the IC what the story is.

I have my own personal opinion based on MLCxW's past but I keep that to myself - let's just say that this is the normal way of avoiding things for her and that includes anything that might be somewhat more difficult. I used to pick up the slack in order to be "supportive" to the extent possible but, after ABD and her D, I discovered that it was really just her (still) not dealing with her depression in any tangible form and her choices to wallow away.

It is just a shame that she is teaching both D12 and S16 the same ways of dealing with things instead of how they can be strong and resilient and STILL take part in life, even if they are not feeling 100% good all the time....

A "friend" will not "stand by you" no matter what you do. That is NOT a friend. That is an enabler. That is an accomplice.
A REAL friend will sit you down and tell you to your face to stop being a firetrucking idiot before you ruin your life and the lives of those around you.

We recently had an article in our school district about the loss of school days and the impact it has on the kids.  Definitely not good to miss that much school.
