I had Mother's day over at my house this time and cooked for my husband's mom and sister's and all of their kids (my mom lives in a different state).  We usualIy go to his mom's house cuz I don't like to cook, but I thought it would be nice to give them a break for a change.  My oldest son Josh had texted me in the morning and asked if someone could pick him up later (he was at his dad's).  You can refer to my earlier blog about my two boys' HUGE confrontation and they still haven't made up.  So when my middle son Jullien heard that Josh was coming over, he asked if he could leave because he said, "I HATE that kid and NEVER want to see him again!"  I said,"It's Mother's Day and NO you can't leave, it would be the best present  for me if you guys could please forgive each other!"  He said,  "I WILL NEVER  FORGIVE HIM!!"

So, my step-daughter went and picked him up for me (remember he got the DUI so they took his license away).  We were having a great day, (my food even turned out really good, LOL).  Josh got here and I could tell he was drunk, his father had been having a barbeque and just let's him get hammered (he's only 19, legal drinking age here is 21).  He immediately went up into my room and got on the computer.  Jullien went into my room to get a movie, not knowing that his brother was in there.  Josh closed the door behind him and blocked his way so that he couldn't get out.  Jullien's girlfriend came running downstairs and said, "You better go upstairs..Josh and Jullien are in the room together." I started to run upstairs but my husband said, "Let me take care of it."  Next thing is all I heard was YELLING and a big "thud".  I ran upstairs with my two sister-in-laws right behind me.  Jullien was screaming, "I don't except your apology because you're drunk!!! Why don't you try doing it when you're sober."  As I opened the door Jullien went running right passed me and hit his bedroom door as he headed into his room.  Josh was telling my husband, "I was just trying to apologize for what I said because I feel really bad and the only way I can really get out what I want to say is when I'm drinking.  My husband said, "Jullien can't stand to see you drunk and he really cares about you that's why it bother's him so much!"  Josh said, "Whatever...I'm leaving because I did what I came here to do."  He had a big bottle of wine so I took it from him and dumped it down the sink!  I started crying and then he left.

So my Mother's Day wasn't that great, but I guess the positive side is that at least Josh tried to apologize...I'm hoping that will be a step towards getting the boys to reconcile.  Tonight my husband and Josh will be playing in a mens softball league, (first game).  I called to pick up Josh so he can go to the batting cages to practice with my husband, but he said, "I don't want to come over to the house because it's just too stressful."  So we are going to leave early for the game so that he doesn't have to see his brother.  I just need to keep praying and having faith that it will all work out.
