[QUOTE="Lil, post: 641637, member: 17309"] Well, I guess I'm going to break the rules on this one already...My son has called asking if he could "hang out" tonight. He's sick, like tossing his cookies sick, and doesn't want to be at the shelter. So we're going to let him come over from about 5 to 8. I'm going to flatly tell him that he can't stay after that. We'll feed him if he wants food, and we'll visit for a few, but then his dad and I have the 2nd job to do and 8 is as late as I'll leave it. I know he won't like it. Heck, I don't like it. I promptly went to Mom mode and want him to feel better. Let's be honest...I just want this whole nightmare to be over. What's bad is...I slept poorly. I dreamed of him. In the dream we were just hanging out and chatting, but we were on a screened in porch in some house and it turned out he had left the shelter and was squatting. Then I woke up. How is it I manage to do that? I very, very frequently have a dream right before I hear from him...and usually something is wrong. I dreamed he'd sold all his stuff and came home for Xmas, telling us he was not going to school. That weekend he came home, and told us he'd sold all his stuff and was failing all his classes. I dreamed jewelry was missing, the next day I looked and my mother's ring was missing. Happens all the time. [/QUOTE]
