Is there something in the air besides testosterone?

I think so, but I don't know what it is!

My 18 yr old (still a Junior in HS) has decided he wants to join the National Guard because he is firmly convinced (with the help of his friends and the Recruiter) that he will remain Stateside in a desk job and they will pay him good money every month, plus pay for his college.       

My 17 yr old daughter has finally (after months of testing) been given medicine for seizures, but the side effects of the medicine are the same as the symptoms she had. 

Her twin sister is on perpetual PMS and can't get along with anyone longer than 10 minutes.  Not to mention she has taken to cussing like a sailor.   

My 15 yr old is a Band Geek, EMO wannabe. 

Ain't life grand?

Maybe I'll move out...

No one would even notice until they ran out of clean underwear anyway...

That would be a great idea for me too except for one thing. DH and I promised that whoever leaves has to take the kids with them. It is the secret of our successful marriage.

My Father always said if my Mother had made him take custody of me and my brother, they never would have divorced.

I am in a lot of pain. But I just want everyone Debbie,  Erin, Beth, Joe, Platzki    just a few names to know how much I appricate you guys being there for us. It helps.

  what Platz said.

Martha - so glad to see ya post!  Hey all.....I've been 'so removed' - so catching up.

I have to say that the sharing of the 'family' stuff is helpful!  The last time I talked with Martha, I found some 'interesting items', and it's been downhill since.  In my home, my hubbie is like a third child, so ... quite frankly sometimes helpful and sometimes not.

I can't even remember when I last talked with Martha, but can share that my 15 YO who's a big boy has run twice from home in the last week.  My husband went to the golf course yesterday, and I had my mobile in the bathroom calling him to come home.  He wanted to finish his golf game... 

I suggested either he come home immediately, or I was calling the police, and they could take the 15 YO to jail, the nut house, the hospital - any place....but he could not stay here.

We all sat down yesterday and chatted, and agreed on a plan, I played ball, took a grounder (guy hit) on my ankle, and did NOT sleep well again ... hurts bad.  Within 10 mins. of the 15 YO up today, all he!! broke loose, and I had to stand between him and his dad.  Then they were both yelling at me.

Meanwhile, my youngest is having his birthday today (he and Bob)!!  He's turned 14 YO, and has decided since there is madness here, he needs to be my savior.  He keeps appearing from the basement (got a XBox360 for his Birthday) to give me hugs and to tell me I'm not crazy... 

All I got to say....this better be temporary or they'll both depart and soon!  My husband left town this afternoon, and my 15 YO got called into work.  A break from a very long, sleepless week.  I've made myself perfectly clear that if there is any 'psycho/threatening' behavior, I'm calling the police.  I am not standing for that 'look' of hatred and anger from a teenager who's lost control.

So folks - if you don't see me for a few days, it's because we've got spring break.  Joy of joys of joys - NOT!!  I am no longer living the 'dream' - eh?

Martha/Harold - keep us posted - K?  Sorry for the long post, but figured you all wondered if I got lost or something... 

[kevinatgrannys]

Prayers and hugs to you Erin!!! 

Martha, Tons of prayers and hugs for you as well!!!  You are by far more brave than I!  We are all cheering for you!

[Platzki]

Wow Erin.  So sorry to here that you're going thru this.  I'm here if you want to chat... Just PM me.

Thinking of you!!

[2boysandtoys]

Thanks Platzki - I do appreciate that!  My hope is we get through this coming week, and then I've got more 'chatting time'.  It's very difficult to find a space to talk privately, as my voice carries, and he's always close by!! 

[Platzki]

Well... the invitation is there to use when you need it!!   

Hope all is well this week... (and don't kill anyone...  )
