I HAVE TWO GREAT KIDS.  OF COURSE THEY’RE GROWN UPS NOW BUT, STILL, I SEE THEM AS KIDS.  IT WASN’T ALWAYS SO EASY.  FOR AWHILE THEY WERE THE SCOURGE OF ALL PARENTS…THEY WERE TEENAGERS!!!!   YES, EVIL, VILE, TEENAGERS.  IT’S A TOUGH TIME FOR PARENTS AND I WAS ALONE IN MY FIGHT, MY BATTLE FOR SANITY.  BUT, SINCE THEY TURNED OUT SO GOOD, I DON’T MIND TELLING THE STORY, NOW, OF THE DAYS OF DARKNESS.   LUCKILY, WE ALL SURVIVED.
