Craziness

This household is crazy. School is going ok, but I'm stressed; Mark is getting into trouble at every turn; Dean is growing like a weed; Trevor NEVER hushes; and Ross is not doing well at school either. 

I was thinking this semester was going to be an easy semester with next semester being the hardest. BOY...was I WRONG! This has been a very challenging semester. And I still know that next semester is going to be my hardest. Yipppeee (in a sarcastic voice). The thing that is helping is to know that I have the Winter and Fall, then I have my degree at last :)

Mark doesn't know how to NOT get in trouble. He has been stealing from people, telling lies, and just plain going off in the wrong direction. We are at our wits end also. He has been grounded from the tv, any games (such as his Gameboy, Nintendo, or Wii) and ALLL of his toys are packed up. Yet, none of this has bothered him and for him to stop. I have even looked at a military/wilderness school.

I am sooo stressed. I am like a single mom with another adult adding to the problem. I am trying to keep our marriage on track, but I don't get recognized for anything. Then, to add the school, kids, my parents on top of it all....how much longer can I go like this?

Dad keeps telling me "I'm taking one day at a time." Well, his one day at a time is messing with my family. Since he has to get out of his apartment, he doesn't have a place to go, so he wants to put his stuff in storage until he can find a place. Well, that means WE have to put it in storage, WE have to get it out of storage when he does find a place. But he doesn't think about we have our own things to worry about. We have a limited amount of time to do things. But it's ok.....he's taking it "one day at a time." Erggg.
