Middle School Hair: A Coiffure To Remember

So, I don’t know about where you live but in the South where we live there are two different hair styles now that are popular among middle school boys.  One is the buzz cut.  That one is of this variety.

Note how neat and clean this boy will look.  Groomed, if you will.
The other look, on [...]

Therapy: Do The Right Thing

I like the therapist.  I like him a lot.
It’s interesting, though.  He is very much a behavior based therapist.  In other words,  he minimizes the effect of medicines as he believes they don’t control you.  You control yourself, regardless of medication.  Now, as much as I would like to believe this is wholly and completely [...]

The Calm

When underwater, the world above is muffled.  The sounds are hardly detectable.  The sight is blurred.  And the weight of the water pushes on the body like a gentle, loving embrace.
Rye is out of school now until the school can come with a better plan for him.  Being a victim to physical assault and gross [...]

It’s Saturday

Well, I dropped Rye off at his fishing tournament bright and early this morning.  It’s a beautiful day here so he should have a good day and I now have some time to myself to piddle as Don is out of town visiting family for the weekend.

Rye was physically assaulted by a teacher this week at the zoo of a school he goes to simply for saying no to said teacher.   We have tried to communicate nicely with the school, give the teacher the benefit of the doubt, and were hoping for [...]

Sunday Review

Well, I’ll be honest.  I’m having a bit of fun at my child’s expense right now.  Rye’s new ‘girlfriend’ is texting him on my phone and since Rye isn’t home and I am sitting here having to deal with the phone I decided to text her back with her thinking I am Rye.  I’m just [...]

Where The Wild Things Are

Apparently they are in the boy’s bathroom at Rye’s school.
Where there are no cameras.
Yesterday a bad fight broke out while Rye was in the bathroom at school.  In one of his crowning moments, not only did he not participate in the fight but he also ran out and told a teacher what was happening to [...]
