Garret has been pretty good today, so far, a little pouty and keeps going off task but so far is being a willing participant in helping outside and cleaned his room when asked to. Jon, on the other hand, has been very snappy and abrupt. He didn't get much sleep last night but wanted to get outside and work while the weather was good and he always feels better after he works hard so maybe by tonight he'll be in a better mood. I, on the other hand, feel like crap. Woke up so congested I couldn't breathe through my nose and mom texted early that she ran out of cold meds and did I have any to share, so I crawled out of bed to take some to her and went back to sleep for a few hours. Took some meds and I still feel like an elephant is sitting on my head, trying to drink lots of water but I just don't have any energy at all. Promised I would go out and help in the yard and I need to be there to run interference with the boys, as I'm sure Garret will eventually do something to piss Jon off and then that will be more stress for us all and I'm so tired of being stuck in the middle of them all. I know Jon means well in being a strong taskmaster and keeping Garret accountable, but he's so harsh sometimes, kinda reminds me of my dad, but Jon does not always have the gentleness and love behind his voice that I knew my dad did. I have no doubts that he truly cares for Garret and is trying his best to help shape him into a good young man, as he's been terribly spoiled by us all his life, but I wish there was an easier way. I'm just a softie so sometimes it's really hard for me to stand by and agree with him, even though I know it's for his best. I'm trying real hard but I slack off a lot and that doesn't make a good impression or help the situation any. Anyways, off to pick up branches and help clean up the yard then later on some homework and hopefully some relaxation and to bed early to try and kick this cold or whatever it is I have.
