Well, I am off until 6pm today, and I intend to get some housework finished. I'm currently working on laundry, ds is outside chopping wood (and fussing and having fits about it), dd is laying on the couch, not feeling well, and older dd is still sleeping (frankly because I don't want to hear her attitude this AM~Lord help me... she's awake.). She came home from work last night, all teary-eyed and sad, because her Dad and I "don't understand her and we don't care..." About what, you ask? She has met and lied about a boy. Now she says he is her boyfriend, and she wants him to come over sometime (which her Dad and I have never said no too), but we won't allow it. Crocodile tears and all.....
I told her that when she decides to act like an adult like she wants to be treated, then we will decide when and if this boy can come over.... and not until (more to the behavior than the tears.... MAJOR attitude).
The drama in this house is absolutley rediculous! Same as at work.... that place is falling apart, and there's nothing we can do about it. Absolutely nothing.
Why is it that life just seems to be up for so long then rock bottom? One extreme to another.....
*SIGH*
I guess we are still more fortunate than alot of folks, and I should look at that aspect. At least I do HAVE a job to go to, and I do have children that AREN'T into drugs, sneaking out at night, or alcohol.....
And on that note.....
I need to get busy and check my laundry, and work on getting my house in order today..... BEFORE I go to work.
I'm gonna work on my floors today. Yea, that's what I am gonna do.
(And scrub hard... before My attitude cause bodily harm to mouthy teenagers.)
Teenagers can be a pain in the rear; I survived it I am sure you will too, many hugs and a nice cup of Tension Tamer tea. The only other thing I can say is eventually they do grow into wonderful adults!
