J's coming home...

Today I am down at the beach as I am visiting a client near nearby.  It is a sunny day with a brisk northwest wind.  Recently an entire block burnt down right on the main strip here.  It is sad as there was a couple of companies lost that have been in business for fifty years or more.

J will be released from jail at the end of the month.  We have agreed to let him stay with us for a while.  I told him that he could live with us again if he went back to school.  I think he might try to go to the local community college.  I am hopeful that he will be successful at school but I am also remaining realistic given his rocky history with the education system.  I am completely stressed out about J living with us again.  I really hope that his behavior and decision making will improve, but again, I am realistic given his history with the parental system.
