Was so tired last night that I went to bed earlier than normal and don't remember waking up in the night at all but when the alarm went off this morning I felt so exhausted. I managed to get up one the first alarm and get moving, got Garret up and sat up to keep awake until he was ready to leave. Had coffee with breakfast and that helped for a while then when I got back home I loaded up on coffee, all day long, like 6 cups or more, large ones. Now I'm back to being tired. I even took all my vitamins this morning, still have the evenings to go but I just don't understand it, maybe going to be earlier tonight will help. No real homework due tonight so I might just try to catch an hour or two of extra sleep and see if that helps.
I'm really discouraged. All the wonderful plans and goals that I had for this past weekend, getting the front room completely cleaned out and the laundry room, were destroyed when the skunks went off and we were consumed with getting them taken care of and miserable the rest of the time because of the stench. That's almost all over now, except the aftermath of washing literally everything that can possibly be washed, misting the house with the neutralizer and then cleaning up outside too. On top of all that, I just discovered horrible mildew in the laundry room which could be very dangerous, so now I have to race to get all the clothes washed and everything moved out of there so that Jon can get to working on pulling all the big stuff out, ripping out the sheetrock and possibly redoing part of the floor. Won't know how bad it is until I can get everything moved out but it was not what I wanted to deal with on top of everything else.
And, of course, my wonderful plans to start exercising last week got shot to hell. Gaining this weight has made things complicated, not just for me but between Jon and I too. Being stressed and allergies and everything else hasn't really helped motivate me either, not to mention my exercise bike is on the porch and it was saturated with smell so there was no way I was even thinking of going out there until the smell has dissipated.
We have an appointment tomorrow to get Jon's teeth looked at; hoping that it won't be too expensive and they can get him some relief from the terrible pain he has been in. Would love to have about 10k or so to get him some permanent relief, even 3-5k for partial relief. Anyone know anyone giving away money? We could sure use it right about now.
And Garret's attitude...Lord preserve me...this pre-teen stuff is hard enough for normal kids, but for someone like him who is not quite up to par emotionally and mentally on some things, it's even harder; especially for me and Jon, we never know whether to treat him like his age or if we have to temper it to his issues and it is so frustrating not knowing, we often disagree, even when we are trying to keep a united front about things. I sure hope we get a breakthrough soon because this could turn really bad real fast if we can't get things under control with him.
This new class has some very complex and complicated assignments, especially towards the end. I sure hope I get a good group so that I don't have to worry about things being more difficult than they already might be.
More later, have a temper tantrum over chores to deal with.../sigh...pray for me.
