So tired……..

This past week has been very long for me. My mother-in-law passed away last Thursday. It has been very stressful and so many things to do. Eating on the run and the family get together after the funeral. I gained back 4 lbs. this week. I have been trying since Monday to get back on track, but I just keep screwing up! We live the closest to my father-in-law so my husband is helping him with a lot of things. We spent so much money for things we were totally broke and couldn’t even buy groceries this week. We had food so we won’t starve it is just nothing sounds good, and I think I keep looking for something and I am not finding it!

Then to top things off my middle son borrowed my cell phone on Sunday and he misplaced it. It is in my oldest son’s house somewhere! Probably one of the grandkids carted it off.

Then my lazy youngest son is driving me nuts. I am so tired of his crap I could just scream. He is 19 years old, quit school, won’t work, comes home every once in awhile, but usually just stays with this friend or that. He came home and was very good and respectful during the loss of his grandmother. I was hoping this was a sign of him finally growing up……..wrong! I had a jar full of change, there was probably 20.00 0r 30.00 dollars in it. I had it hid because I don’t trust his friends, that stop by. Well today I was going to roll some change to buy a few groceries and, you got it, it was empty!! I haven’t called him, I am afraid of what I will say. I am pissed off beyond belief, but I think I am actually more hurt that my own son would steal from me! When he went in town yesterday, I gave him my last dollar in my wallet, and he took the soda cans back. I usually don’t give him money his dad does. His dad thinks I am too tough on him and I think he is to easy on him. This is the biggest issue my husband and I have!

I am also feeling down, because I think I must have offended some buddies on here. I don’t know if I did or not, it may just me already feeling down. I am the team captain for FAB 500 lb. challenge. I send messages and boosters and respond on the forums as much as time allows me. I haven’t heard from some of them in quite awhile. I really hope I didn’t say or do something wrong, but if I did, I am sorry. Please if I did offend someone in some way, please let me know!

Sending Big HUGS to all of you!

    Girl, so sorry to hear about all this. I knew with you MIL passing it was gonna be rough.
    As for that 19 yr old son, been there with mine too–I had to keep my computer room locked, my bedroom door locked and a separate lock on my change jar! This goes on any time he lives at home. So, I definitely can feel for ya there. It is so enraging to have a son steal from ya. We tried to teach ours from right and wrong and strong values..just didnt work with him despite our best efforts. Sounds like your son and mine are just alike. I dont know what it takes to straighten a kid up thats like that. Hubby is like yours too.
    Just hang in there girl, I know what your going through and the only way to get to the end is step by step. Send me a message girl if you need to talk.
    I’m sorry girl..I dont see you offending anyone. Some people bail out on challenges and stuff without bothering to say anything. I dont know. I just hope some of those guys will respond and let you know.
    Hang in there..your having rough days right now, but things will pick up for ya.
    love Debbie

    Hey hon, hope things get better for you soon. And if you offended someone and they aren’t grown up enough to come to you and talk it out then they ain’t worth worring over. I learned a few yrs ago that you can’t make everyone happy. You are a great gal ,hang in there and take care of yourself.

    your son will learn in time. I am sorry he is giving you so much stress.

    I am sorry about your mil. Prayers to you & your family.

    I am sure you didnt offend anyone. you are one of the sweetest ladies I know. :)

    Oh hon, sorry you have such tough times right now. With everything going on right now, please don’t forget to take care of yourself too. As for your son, hopefully he will grow up. Being a man that might takes some time ;)
    You offending any of your buddies? I don’t think you could even if you wanted to. ;) I am sure that People leaving the challenge has nothing to do with you. You are a amazing person, buddy and team captain! We love ya! :D ((HUGS))

    I just stopped by to thank you for leaving such nice booster notes, and I see you are down. I am so sorry. Sounds like you and hubby need a chat, but now’s probably not the best time. Things seem to pile up, don’t they? Hang in there. I’m going to go figure out how to do one of those booster things for you. :)

    I don’t usually read blogs.. but, I did… and well.. when it comes to people…. they come and go… and I can’t see you offending anyone… I leanred that a lot of people just like drama… and like to make people feel bad…. And, as for your son… You’re not too hard on him… You’re husband is in the wrong and shouldn’t be an enabler… He is 19; not in his early teens. And this is coming from a 25 year old with 2 kids who lives on her own…. Send him here… I’ll straighten him out….LOL… luv ya *HUGS*

    Awwww crap…I am so sorry to hear about your son taking the money from you. That just plain sucks. :(

    As for not hearing from many that are in the challenge…do not let it get to you! I was heading up a team a couple months back and so rarely heard from anyone, it was very frustrating and it really got to me at times. It can be a stressful thing, and you do wonder if you did something wrong. But, more than likely it’s just that the ones you don’t hear from are off track and too ashamed to come on and say so. Don’t let it stress you!

    ***HUGS***
