I’ve just spent two hours working on homework from class, and listening to the boys in the living room play games. The oldest has three friends over, and the youngest is hanging out with them and having a nice time. They are laughing, picking on each other, and just having a really good time.
For the longest time, the oldest had stopped laughing and talking, so needless to say, hearing him laugh and socialize is a huge relief. I’m scared the one or both of the boys will struggle with depression like I do. When the smiles came back, it was like I could breath again. How am I ever going to make it through the teen years. 14 days, until it happen.
School is going well. I think I’ve got a pretty good grasp on what’s going on so far. I’ve only got five more weeks to go, and I AM counting down.
