Without fail Joshua`s father let him down again....
Firstly he was meant to come home yesterday but as usual the alcohol got in the way of that....So he didn`t get home until this morning ...I had Josh on the phone to me last night...."I want to come home now mum".....
Then there were the lies about going away...He was meant to go to MT GAMBIER for a week and some other place for a week....
Well the some other place they went for two days and the rest of the time was spent at the fathers girlfriends place....And you know teens, boredom can set in rather quickly....
After speaking with Josh this morning I would say that this will be the last time he spends time away with his dad....
I suppose in a way it has opened his eyes and now he realises how good he has it here and start appreciating what I do for him....
Might just have to remind him of that if and when he starts to act up....lol

It`s true in what they say...
Everything does seem to happen at once, or at least in this family...
Firstly Matt`s health is not the best AT ALL.....
Basically since we have come home from KI he has been bed ridden....He did manage to get to the doctors but the doctor is awfully concerned about the swelling in the stomach region..He was on the phone to the surgeon who will be doing the operation but his hands are tied as there seems to be one very long waiting list for this procedure.....
So in the meantime Matt just has to grim and bear it until his turn comes...Which means bed....I am really starting to get worried about him...But my hands are tied, his hands are tied and his doctor is trying his hardest to move things along.....
Then there is the love saga of my son Joshua....It was off then it was on as of yesterday afternoon then it was off.....I received a text message for me to ring him....He was in tears...My son can be rather emotional....He`ll usually bottle a lot up but when the cap comes off everything explodes out at once....So I calmed him down , said I would text her (which I did) and the message must have got through....To cut a long story short they are going to try to just be friends....
I can see it will be doomed though....Friendship after being in a relationship takes a lot of hard work and seeing as they are both so young I have a feeling it just isn`t going to work..But you can`t interfere, you just have to let them learn for themselves....Then there will be mother picking up the pieces again....
And then we have Krystal and her boyfriend....Now he has been spending a great deal of time here....It hasn`t really bothered me too much as he is a lovely boy....But it has pissed his parents off....You know the type, think they are better than everyone else...Have to keep up or out do the Jones`s.....
Looks like they are trying to keep Krystal and him apart...Laying down rules where he is only allowed here a couple of days in the week, has to be home certain times...Yes I can and would understand if it was a school night and take into account his age but he is 18 years old now.....He works, pays his parents board ect....The father made the fatal mistake of threatening him by saying if he wasn`t home that evening he would come around to our place and abuse (us).....
Bad choice of words from the fathers mouth.....And a worse choice if he does come around here abusing us....lol
But as a female you just know (gut feeling) that we don`t fit the criteria.....Not good enough for their son.....Only time will tell where this relationship will go ...In the meantime I have said to both of them go with the flow, do as your parents ask of you and see what happens from there....
There`s more but that can wait for another day....

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?"asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists,would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine loving a God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and un-kept.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?"asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber.And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me."
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!
What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
