Hi !

Yep, they're finally getting older and having to deal with their own

" stuff! " I was kidding when I said we'd be taking off EVERY SINGLE

weekend - but it never hurts to dream! Once a month sounds

doable. Now.....if I can just get the older two guys to MOVE OUT, my

life would be much easier. I'm not sure what the doc will do for

, and he's a *psychiatrist* so I'm sure the first course of

action will be meds because that's all this doc does (no counseling).

However, needs medication, so that's our goal too. Perhaps he

won't be so inclined to self-medicate once he's on the right

medication. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! We'll work on therapy

next - if he's willing. Heck, just getting him to the doctor after

all these years has been a miracle! I guess that one night in jail

(for pot smoking) was a wake up call for him!!!

I'll definitely keep you posted.

Whew!

Tired Joni (who can't wait till they ALL move out!)
