JUNE 5, 2009

Hopefully, this blog will serve as sort of a therapy. Just a place where I can get things off my mind. There may be others who have experienced or are experiencing some of the same things I am who can provide insight or just a word of advice. Truthfully, I have not read other blogs, so this is my experiment.
I need this because I am angry and depressed and I have no other outlet besides an emotional, perhaps, physical outburst. I fear I am heading towards a nervous breakdown should one more thing go wrong. Yes, I know, we all have bad times. Why pity me? I don't want pity. I need, however, to express what I am feeling.
I have a teenage daughter, who by most accounts, is a pretty good kid. She can get good grades if she remembers to take her Adderall and I ask daily about homework. I know there are a lot worse things she can be besides disrespecful, lazy, and self-centered. Those "qualities", nevertheless, drive me up the wall.
Add to her my well-intentioned, unemployed, lazy, head-up-his-butt husband who just happened to put a dent in the tailgate of the truck yesterday. Another one in the household that doesn't take his Adderall like he should and thinks that being assine is supposed to endear him to me and everyone else. If you let him know that you are at your wit's end, he will do everyting in his power to push you over the edge.
So, that's how it is everyday at my house.
Are you crazy yet?
