with some changes I have made in my life I feel I am being not quite so serious all the time.

I'm not doing real well with this
2 years ago
mostly due to real world responsibilities like trying to raise my 15 year old son. He has been increasingly more difficult to deal with over the last few months. He currently is attending a high school outside our resident district. We go through a lengthy appeal process to make this happen every year. He is currently failing 3 out of 6 of his classes. He is not failing because he does not understand the work. He is failing because he does not do the work. It is quite frustrating. He lies about what he has for homework or just procrastinates until bedtime. I am not getting any help at home from my boyfriend who has lived with us for 7 years (boyfriend is not his father). He doesn’t want any part of it even though I have asked for his help in the past. I just feel at wits end. Not sure what to do to get out of the funk I am in. Not sure what to do to get the kid to do his work without an argument. I just don’t know. I have also expressed concern to his dad but all his dad does is yell at him about the work which does not work either. Back to the out of district deal – I told him that if he does not improve his grades, when it comes time to apply to the school again at the end of the year, they may deny it based upon grades. Anyway, this totally affects my mood and causes me to be so serious because I want my kid to do well. I feel as though his failing classes is a direct reflection on my job as a parent and that stresses me out more. Ugh….

Just call me grumpy
3 years ago
My son says I am grumpy alot. I try not to be but I have so many responsibilities and deadlines it is hard not to. It seems I am always rushing, always on the road, always have something that has to be done. It gets old when all you want to do is have fun and be spontaneous. Ugh, it gets so old. Even as I am sitting her typing this I am thinking about the laundry list of things need to take care of in my home when I really should just be relaxing because I am sick right now. Probably the reason I am sick is because I don’t slow down.
