I am just checking in and I forgot what my quit date was but as long as I am not smoking I don't care. hehe I think it is over four months.
With all the running I do I can't think straight.
My 18 year old son descided to get up off of his butt and get a job, now he has to keep the job so he can drive his car. He has to pay for insurance. Well we pay the first 6 motnhs , but do you think he would do things for himself to get this all started NO. I am now running him to work and making him ride his bike home so I can teach him that he should've got up off his butt alot sooner. He doesn't even have his liscense yet, just learners . I don't think it gets easier. I still have the oldest home and she will be 20 and this house seems to be getting smaller. The 15 year old, well she just loves to cock off at me right before she walks out the door for school and then the 12 year old hasn't hit his emotional stage yet. Well a little but nothing as bad as the other three. I am just soo soo worn out and tired of running and doing and I can't no more. I need a drink. hehe Nah I don't drink but once a year but maybe.... Oh well we don't have to.
I need to scream and I think I will , wake up the 20 year old. She sleeps over ten hours if you let her and I need to get her up anyway. I hope they move out soon and then it will be a bit more quiet around here. But no the oldest isn't going until she is out of school and done and that won't be until next spring but she is a good kid , it's just like I feel trapped in a life I can't stand anymore. I need time to slow down. Okay now that I got that out I can go wake up the kid. hehehehe My little revenge, lol
Thanks.

Hi Leen,

Boy, sounds like you've been so good to your children that they just don't want to leave you. I can understand how you feel. There comes a time.......

Hang in there. One of these days they'll decide to go it alone.

Sorry but I believe this is as good as it gets. They will move out you can bet on that but that's when things will really turn SCARY. So now not only do you have your beloved child to worry about but maybe when they need you next they come home with lets say kids, spouses and pets plus oh Dear near forgot a pile of bills that reaches as high as the proverbial bean stock. Just enjoy the moment the GRASS IS NOT GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE. Laughing Laughing Laughing

Leen,
Push them all out of the house, change the locks and put the house on the market....when it sells go to an island and drink margaritas from the coconut shell...you have earned it!

Islands sounds great. Yeah I should put the house up for sale and just go. Sometimes when I am driving and get this itch to just keep going but know that I can't. lol Oh well yes it doesn't get any easier, depending on the child. Mine are okay kids just like to drive me nutts to see if they can put me in a padded room earlier. lol Hubby don't help any either. lol

Hi Leen
You can rant all you want. Do not keep it inside. Oh how I can't wait until my son gets to those ages. My first three kids lived with their mom so I did not go through anything like you are going through. Thanks for the headsup on what I can expect. hehe. If you need to email your rants to me. lol
