I ate breakfast, worked on my cross-stitch and the phone kept ringing. Denice called. Sharon called. Denice called. Ted called. Then I called Mom to find out when she was going to take care of my DMV stuff. She came over, took the money, the divorce papers, my ID and went to get my updated license. She came back with my name changed, my old picture and my married signature!! Can you believe that nobody at DMV caught that? They put my maiden name at the top but my married signature at the bottom. I sure hope that the bank will accept that. Maybe they won't notice.

I won't be able to take care of the bank stuff until Friday. Scotty will be out with Rob all day tomorrow and he'll have my truck. Plus I have to be home from 11am to 2pm anyway because I don't know if UNUM will call at 2pm EST or 2pm my time. Oh well. I can wait until Friday.

Shanta came over for our family therapy this evening. She wasn't happy with Matthew's report card or the report that Mr. J is trying to get him expelled. She was relaly mad that Matthew had been lying to both of us for 3 months telling us that he was doing his homework. By the report card, it's obvious that he wasn't doing anything. He's definitely failing right now. If he would just get his crap together and get those A's that I know he can, he could pull out of this and keep from repeating the 8th grade. It's his decision. I'm not fighting with him about it. Shanta asked me what I would do if he was expelled. I said that if Matthew was expelled he wouldn't be playing, watching TV, reading or playing games. Basically, I would turn his home life into boot camp. He's not going to be playing around when he should be in school. I have a house that needs painting, weeds that need pulling, shutters, screens, windows and blinds that need cleaning. The carpets need scrubbing and he can do that by hand. The walls need to be cleaned. The furniture needs to be cleaned. I have several pieces of wood furniture that need to be sanded and re-stained. The front stairs need to be sanded and painted. I'm sure that I could find lots of things to keep him busy for the next 6 weeks until school is out for the summer. It'll definitely suck to be him if this expulsion actually happens.

We've decided to give him a taste of all of that this weekend. He will have 2-1/2 days of boot camp training this weekend with Denice. Maybe he'll get his but into gear after this weekend and get the homework and stuff done at school.

Otherwise, great day. I got to talk to my friends, work on my cross-stitch and spend some time with Ted. After Shanta left, I sent Scotty and Matthew away so I could have some peace and quiet. Ted brought me dinner and we snuggled on the bed talking for about 2 hours. It was nice just to relax and have an intelligent conversation with someone for a change. We're talking about trying to get out to the Mall this weekend just to get me out of the house. I'm going to work on his taxes Friday so that he can concentrate on his shop work.

Well, I didn't take my medicine tonight because I am really counting on a good night's sleep after the morning that I had with the constant interruptions. I think I'm going to start taking my meds in the morning. We'll see how it goes while I'm at home all day tomorrow.

Time to hit the sack and sleep solid for a change.
