Thread: Am I a " Give Up Mom " ?

Thanks again for all of your Support. He left today on the Dog, as he calls the Greyhound Bus.

Things went Smoothly, well lets say almost smoothly. Lol

He was supposed to be at the Station by 8:15 am, it's only 15 mins away. But at 7:45 we got all packed up, in car . feeling proud that we have 1/2 hour to do the 15 minute commute ..Smooth going ...On our Way !!!

Half mile from the Apt. " Stop Mom, I can't remember if I packed my Pills ? ". We stop in the closest store parking lot, he checks his backpack and suitcase, No pills. Back to the Apartment.

He runs up, gets his pills, runs back down, we head out again. Mile or so down the road, I asked if he got everything ? We are running late already.

" Yep Mom ".

Some how, I knew he didn't get everything.. You know Mothers Intuition ???
Told him if he forgot anything I'd mail it to him in Texas.

Another half mile and a " Light comes on" You know the One !!!

" Honey, do you have your Ticket "? "

%^$#***^$## No I left it on the Coffee Table. Turn around, Morning Traffic, it is now 8:05, get back home, he runs up, gets his ticket... On our way again..

" Mom, Stop at Jack in Box or Mickey " D's ". I have to eat before I take my Pills. My turn for the " &%(*#$XX .. Why didn't you eat a bowl of Cereal ?

" I don't eat this early in the Morning "..

*SIGH *

Stop Jack in Box, he runs in, of course it's morning Breakfast Rush Time. 9 minutes later, out he comes. On the road again . Get to Bus Station, No parking available, so I pull up in a Handicapped spot, Emergency Flashers on, car still running, start getting his things out of the Trunk.

There are Flashing Orange Lights. Parking Patrol .

* Pulls out Hair *

" Ma'am, This is Handicapped parking only "

Yes Sir I know this, I'm not Parked I'm Stopped to unload a Handicapped Son. I have my Son show the Parking Cop, his Scar on his head that goes from Temple to Temple ( ear to ear ). Explained that my son was on the 8:45 Bus out and it is Now 8:30..

My son starts talking about how he got his first Scar and how he came up for my birthday and the Cop gave me the " AWWWW I Understand Look and just said. Don't park long Ma'am " .

I got my son to the Bus gate, gave him a hug & Kiss, Love Ya's , Less than 3 minutes and went to my Car. The cop was still there * Tears *
I thought I was getting a ticket anyway. He just said he parked behind me, so no other Cop would give me a ticket .

I thanked him and told him, had I gotten a Ticket, I would have Claimed " Mentally Handicapped " in Traffic Court .After explaining the morning I'd had trying to get Son to the Bus .. He said, "You probably would have won that case .." Lol

So here I am Home, once again, so much appreciating all of you on here that helped me thru this and I know I can always come here for " Friends that Really Care "

Great to hear that everything went so well!
