I had a good conversation with a family friend a while ago about China and their 1 child per family law. He said he would (in the perfect world) like to see prospective parents pass an I.Q. test. Test them on things like "Your child needs medicine and you have the money to buy it. Do you buy the medicine or go on a bender?" Just a thought.

Our oldest son 19 has really made some poor choices in the past year. He spends his money as fast as he makes it & then some. He easily netted about $17,000 from July of last year to now & has spent it all, plus he maxed out his credit card $2,500 +. To help him we took away his credit card, & monitored his bank accounts. SS19 was doing pretty good at getting his debt down, or so we thought.

SS19 has wiped out his credit card debt, & has even put a small amount in savings. Plus he seems to be balancing his college & work okay.

SS17 seems happier, maybe it's because of world cup, whatever it is he is a pleasure to be around.

Finally my husband is feeling physically better though he has to have one more blood sugar test. The doctor told him to loose weight & to watch what he's eating, & he is.

This seems too good to be real. So here I sit hoping that it doesn't all go away, its nice.

Well last night my SS17 came into the livingroom to give me a big hug. I could tell he was upset but not ready to talk. I made us tea & then he told us that his GF14 has broken up with him. Earlier in the day he went over to his friends place to talk about the break up, & watch World Cup. While they were talking his friend told him that he's been an ass to me. I guess he had to hear it from someone outside the family.
