Here and exhausted.

Today is my son's 27th b-day. His buddy - who hasn't been in touch in over a year - hit him up on facebook last week. He remembered my son's b-day was coming up and asked if he'd like to get together. I was a bit apprehensive because this friend is an alcoholic who has lost his license due to having had several DUI's. But I'm torn because my son really does need a friend.

So they went out last night. To a bar. My son left here at 9 pm. He said he wasn't going to drink. Then he comes home at 3:30 am. Drunk. Wakes me up. Wants me to get up and talk about how he "screwed up."

To his credit he got a ride home. But of course that means I'm going to have to drive him to his car sometime today. Whenever he wakes up.

I realize this is a one time thing so far. But my fear is it's going to become a regular thing.
