Stress

Sorry for disappearing on you all.  We had a bit of a family crisis starting Easter weekend. 

DS2 had what I can only explain as a psychotic break and after days of trying to get him help via the local police and an emergency room visit we had to ask the state to remove him from our home. I always tell my kids that the number one job of a mom is to keep my kids safe.  It became very apparent that I could not keep DS2, myself, the pets or the other kids safe with DS2 living with us.

It was probably the hardest decision I have ever made. I have parented him for 4.5 years and tried everything I could imagine to get him help.  The entire family is devastated. 

And to quickly change subjects so I will stop crying over the keyboard, we got our tax return last week.  The emergency fund and Savings plans are both fully funded.  Captial One credit card is PAID OFF!!

The rest of the funds went household stuff. I admit we did some emotional spending but I got everything I had wanted plus have a $500.00 account buffer so I am happy.

I will probably be taking a few more days off to heal and then will be back in the blogging groove.
