 Mouse Party - Drug Education Site of the Week!
 

I 'stumbled upon' a very unique and educational website about drugs and their influence on a brain. It is called

MOUSE PARTY

The site gives an eerily accurate picture of a number of mice on different kinds of drugs. You have the opportunity to select which mouse to examine. Upon examination you see the brain and what that particular drug does to the brain.

By the University of Utah, Genetic Science Learning Center, this site is imaginative, very educational, and even fun! Mouse Party is a website that serves a great purpose - to keep someone from using drugs. Great job!

 Mom Was Always There For Me
 



Each Mother's Day, I think about what a wonderful mom I am blessed with. She stuck by me all the way, too. I am humbled and amazed at the strength and optimism she has shown.

Mom found my stash of hypodermic needles when I was 16 years old although she never said anything to me about it. I know she was heartbroken.

When I was 17 I sold some jewelry to get money. My dad was able to go to the buyer and demand the jewelry back, on the grounds that I was only a minor and had no right to sell the items.

When I was at a low point in a residential rehabilitation program, she and my dad would drive over to bring cookies and Dr. Pepper.

When I returned home, she was happy to help me get a job working with her at a health spa. Mom then began to run interference for me when old, undesirable friends would call, looking for money, a ride, or a co-conspirator to drag back down to the gutter in a frantic search for the next fix.




I say a prayer of thanks for my mom giving me a loving, stable home and fantastic family to cushion the bumps or falls of a life lived addicted.


Happy Mothers Day to all moms!
