I really should get back to blogging. I need to unload my brain but right now I'm not up for it. I need to focus on passing this test but my heart isn't into it. I need to lose weight but I seem to be at a standstill. I need to quit missing so much work but between doctor appointments, kid stuff, running to Naples and my own illness I don't see that happening soon. I need to go to bed.
That I can do.

Too many teenagers
I have 2 teenagers at home that I gave birth to. I have a lot of conflict, trauma, drama, stress, headaches, etc. from them. They are my flesh and blood so I feel that I don't have a choice when it comes to them.
They frequently bring teenage friends to the house and occasionally they have issues that I get 'involved' in. Some of them I want to slap and ask them to act their age and not like babies. I like them to feel welcome and safe in my home so I deal with their issues.
That's enough teenage troubles for one person as far as I'm concerned but obviously I'm wrong.
I have an office full of teenagers that I'm stuck with. Not in age mind you, in behavior.
They act dumb.
Employee: Can you do this, I don't know how. In a whiny voice no less!
Me: Um, isn't that something you've been doing for the last month? At least you were supposed to be.
Employee: But it's too hard to figure out, so I haven't done it. You can do it.
Me: Hello, it's your job and I already have WAY too many to add another.
They bicker and make catty comments under their breath toward others. This of course causes more issues.
They don't do their job. The copier has to be filled with paper each night before we leave. The middle receptionist is responsible to do it. I can't even begin to count how many mornings I've come in to an empty machine which means the reports did not get printed overnight.
They gang up on 1 employee and constantly find faults with that person and pick at them. It's not always the same person being ganged up on either. One week they will talk shit about you and the next you're their buddy in slamming another.
These are mothers. They all have children of their own, with the exception of 1.
I feel like I can't get away from teenage behavior and am ready to walk out.

Is he serious?
So this morning, Squeak tells me he wants to change schools.
Didn't we just do this on Monday?

I'd like to crawl under a rock.
So Squeak started a new school yesterday. I had really high hopes. I felt that he was going to have a new start and could ultimately pull all his grades back up so he could attend college this summer as previously planned. Before the drugs.
You know what they say about the best laid plans…….
Last night he totaled the Jeep. No one was hurt thankfully. He was doing a favor for a friend. Taking his girlfriend home. A kid I told him to not have in his vehicle because the dad asked me to help keep the kid from access to trouble.
I just got a call from the assistant principal at the new school. Squeak could be suspended. He didn’t arrive at school until 2nd hour and then was caught walking around with “known” troublemakers who are now being suspended.
I started school again last night, before getting the accident call. It’s a class to study for taking the test to become a registered MT. If I can pass that, I’ll go for the certified MT. At this rate, who knows.
