Happy Sunday!

Thursday around 1:00pm, my Mom calls me. With a serious tone she tells me that Matthew (my son) was arrested. He was in his friend's car and they were pulled over for running a red light. Drugs were found in the card. Both were arrested. My Mom tells me that they got disconnected, so she doesn't know where he is.

Tunnel vision sets in. I need to find my son. He must be so scared. He's a good kid that clearly got caught up in something. Where is my son?!! So, I start calling the local police department, then the juvenile detention center and then someplace else... and back to the police department. No one has any information on him. Now, I'm freaking out. If I wasn't before... I am now. Where is he? 

The woman at the police department told me to hold... and I texted Joe. Help me. Please. Matt's been arrested. I can't find him.

Joe, who is level headed, says "Track his iPhone and I'm calling your Mom."

I track Matt's phone... and it's at the school. Huh???! Now, I'm thinking... what's happened? Why is his phone at school? I tried calling it but no answer. OMG. Where is my son???

At that moment, the police department calls me back... I must've hung up at some point. She tells me that she called every local police department that my son could possibly be at. He was not arrested. She asks me if I'm sure my Mom actually spoke to Matt. I didn't really know. She tells me there's a scam going around.

So, I call the school and ask for them to check to see if he's in class. He is.

Joe calls me. He says "It's a scam. The guy asked your Mom for $1k. She told him to talk to his Mom."

I burst out in sobs. Ugly crying. For goodness sake! I was obviously relieved, but all that tension just exploded in tears. Holy shit. Seriously.

I told Matt about it later. My son is the best son. He was very clingy that night. He sat next to me. Tacked me in a bear hug. And told me he loved me when he went to bed. *sniff*

Those had to be the worse 15 minutes of my life. 

Looking back with a clear head, the obvious course of action would have been to call the school FIRST. But I'm not rational under pressure... especially when I think my kid is in danger. 

Sometimes, you gotta breathe... step back... look at the facts... and then act. Instead of just acting out of sheer emotion. I'm learning... :-)

We've been busy this week planning 2018 for you, so there isn't any new "content" BUT there are LOTS of specials... so please enjoy.
