We just dropped Anthony off at the hotel to leave for bootcamp tomorrow. I am not doing very well. I can't believe how much this really upset me. I tried to be so strong, but my emotions got the best of me. I am going to miss the hell out of him!! I know he is doing the right thing, but I can't help but be selfish and wish he was home. This is so hard to deal with!!

9/9/08 1 CommentMonday is the big day!!
Monday is the day my son leaves for bootcamp. We are having a going away party for him this Saturday. We invited about 86 people. I had ordered the cake today. It will have the Army star on it and around it will say, Anthony will be all he can be. It is just so serreal. My baby, my only child is leaving me and going off to become a man. I am so proud of him for making this decision on his own. Yet I am really afraid of what could happen. I am trying not to think about the what could bes and concentrate on the positive side of it all. I am feeling a little selfish because I am going to miss him so much. This is going to be a huge change for both of us. I can only pray and wish for the best and be supportive for him. I know he will make it and BE ALL HE CAN BE!! I made him strong and they will make him Army strong. LOL

My son has just recently joined the Army and I am not dealing with this very well. It is almost like dealing with a death. All I do is cry when I think of it. He will be leaving in 3 weeks for boot camp and I am really getting myself sick over this.
Has any one else been through anything like this? Is what I am feeling normal or am I over reacting? Understand that he is my only child and I fear for the worst. He is very happy about his decision and very positive that he has made the right decision. As a parent, it is very hard to let go. I only want the best for him.
MY God this really hurts!!!!!!!!!

8/19/08 1 CommentJust a liitle update!!
Hello to all my friends. I have been very busy working at my guest service job at Target. They have me working so many hours and I feel like my whole life is wrapped around Target now. I am not complaining, because I need the money. I have never worked retail before and it took some getting use to. I was not use to working on weekends. That part I don't like too much. I am totally taking advantage of my store discount too. It does come in handy.
Today I go to court with my son for the little incident that he had gotten himself into. Please wish us luck. I will let you know what happens when I get back. I am a little nervous. Since I have last blogged, my son has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This explains so much of why he had been the way he was. They have him on new medication now and I really hope it works. I can't wait to get my son back to the way he should be. Before he was diagnosed, he had admitted to me his addiction to pain meds. He didn't want to do them any more because they were really getting the best of him. Let me tell you that the withdrawls from them was horrible. He was in so much pain and so sick. I have never seen anything like it. Needless to say, he will never do them again. The reason the doctor said that he started using them is to self-medicate himself to try to make himself feel somewhat normal. He said it is common with people with bipolare disorder to look for other forms of relielf.
So other than all this that was going on, things have been ok . Life is looking up and I am going into each day with a positive attitude. I try to keep my chin up and put a smile on my face.
