Long week

It has been a long week this week. I spent half a day Tuesday at court with Trevor. The Judge was very direct with his sentencing. He sentenced him to 30 days at Lightening Peak Early Intervention Program, 150 hrs of community service, a criminal thinking course, a substance abuse assessment, and that he had to comply to any reasonable request his parents make of him. So we went home and of course he immediately started testing the boundaries. By Wedsnesday night we had to call the police as he was not complying with anything we said. When Jim asked him to go outside and cool down after he was harrassing Ben, he began yelling at everyone (we were eating dinner). Needless to say he was told again to comply. Who knows what will happen. He starts at Lightening Peak tomorrow. I hope, by going there, he will realize he doesn't want to be told what to do for the rest of his life. That he gets more "freedom" if he follows rules than if he doesn't . It's just that there are so many errors in his thinking patterns. We spent a couple of hours at Lightening Peak today and that was one of the things the advocate said to me afterwards. "He has a lot of thinking errors," so sad...
We had a birthday party for Macey tonight! Becca and Amber came and helped me do all the girls nails and hair. We made cute flower hair clips and ate pizza. I think everyone had a nice time. Macey was so excited! We had at least 15 girls there. Her best friends from home and school, Addison and Audry were both there. She was really cute! The Meyers came and brought Allie and Matt and Andrew swung by after Matt picked up Andrew. It's so fun to have them around. The kids are so cute, and we have such a nice time with them!
Last day of school is tomorrow! The kids are thrilled and it definately feels like summer already! I hope I make it through the summer!
