Back... for now

Okay. I am back for now. Yes I may have stolen my computer back from my moms room while she is at school, but I really needed it. 1 to check my facebook, and B to write to you guys. Yes, I like to go from 1 to B. Well, what happened the last couple of days? Nothing much. We got some snow.. :/ Also, Saturday night I rode my bike to BV's house in the snow, and the icey roads just to see him. Do I regret it... surprisingly no. I had fun. I stayed at his house for a few hours and then I went home. I have been doing alright as far as the situation with my mom and such. Friday I had cleaned the whole house basically. She was still really mad by the time she got home, but after a few hours she was okay. I think I will take her out to dinner tonight and see if that helps me out. Maybe I can ask for my computer back tonight since last night she let me take the car to work. She had certain conditions I had to follow and these were them: 1 When I got to work, call her on the work phone.. Check. 2 When I was leaving call her on the work phone.. Check. 3. Come straight home... takes about 20-25 minuets.. Check. So I followed her rules and she said thank you for that when I got home. I followed all her rules the last couple days and I am hoping that that will get my labtop back. I don't know. I was also hoping that she might let BV come over tomorrow, since I have no school. That would be sweet. Also I had a very long conversation with my sister about everything that has been going on and she really helped me out. We talked about what I should do and what I shouldnt and what I should say or talk to my mom about. So, I am well prepaired to have a talk with her. Well, thank you all for reading! TTYL
Love Andrew Bennett <33

    You're doing ok Andrew. Remember it's not all the things you do right, it is the one screw-up that sets you back. You need to build trust and reliability with your mother so she will get off your case. Maybe you feel it sucks but your responsibility is to get through school with decent marks and complete secondary education so you can become financially independent; that is the only way you will ultimately have real freedom. That will be 5 or 6yrs into your future, but in the meantime play the game so you can enjoy your youth. Remember also to avoid the booze and drug traps that will send you down the tubes as time goes by. When young guys get into serious trouble there is always booze/drugs involved; don't go down that road.
    -And you biked to BV's; I use my freeride bike (Cannondale Perp) quite often in the winter for an aerobic workout when it is a nice day and not too cold; the 2.5 inch downhill tires are great in the hard snow on the road. Can't wait for spring cos I use it off-road mostly. bfn - Wayne :)

    It's good to hear that things have settled down and you've still got a job. It's even better that you've been able to talk to your sister and get some practical advice, too.

    I suppose ultimately you need to get smarter at picking the triggers that will set your mom off. When those moments you need to be strong enough to make the hard decision to go home and not be with your friends.

    Andrew, I think you have momentary lapses of judgment more than being a rebellious teenager. Perhaps mom over-reacts a bit, that's hard to figure since we know you from here and that's it. Clearly you prefer to be the "good son" rather than a rebel. I think the fact your mom tends to relent rather quickly shows that.

    So you got more snow...we got bitter cold. In the teens. My heat pump hasn't quit for hours and the aux strips are spinning the electrics meter off the wall!

    Stay cool, man!
    Peace <3
