Life is crazy!
Well, my ankle is feeling a little better. I had completely stopped doing any exercise at all and food was horrible. I got up to 165 lbs and I am totally shocked it wasn't worse. I finally did some exercise today, 30 minutes on the gazelle and then a short 10 minute walk with Buddy around the block. Feels ok. I have been feeling so fat and so bloated. Feeling very depressed and weepy these last few weeks. No exercise, overeating, gaining wait and all kinds of stress are getting to me.
Have had some major issues with David. Can't remember if I put in there that we had to call the cops again as David busted another door. In front of his counselor. Ugh! He also threw his laptop the other day and smashed it. I am totally sad and at my wits end. 1st report card- failing. he has skipped or cut over 30 classes the first marking period, basically 2 months! A few weeks ago, actually the night the cops were called, he not only skipped 3 classes but left school completely. I am so tired of this kid. His 16th birthday is 12/2. Going to buy him a pair of pants and a shirt but that is pretty much it. Saddens me to no end. I want to give him things and I can't. I feel cheated as a parent.
Buddy was supposed to go to his forever home yesterday but the transport fell through. Trying again for this weekend. He gets lose once in a while and takes off and it is 45 minutes of "catch me if you can." Funny thing we learned though. He does not come when you call him. But, if you say "Buddy sit" he stops and sits and you can catch him! I am upset as I psyched myself up all week to send him on his way. I know I am going to cry. I have had him over 2 months. He follows me everywhere. Paul takes him out in the AM and then when they come back in the house, Buddy runs to my bedroom and takes a running leap and pounces on me.
Swamped with Hurricane Sandy claims. Then the fires are coming in fast and furious. this is "fire season." I will get almost a fire a day the rest of the year.
I tried calling the Dr's office while I was down at my dad's. A witch answered the phone: "The Dr's office is closed! Don't you know it is a state of emergency?" Me: "Yes. Can I leave a message?" her: "No. Call back in a few days." I mean, what if I was having an emergency? She didn't even ask? Then a few days later, I tried calling the Dr's office and got their machine. (probably there but busy.) I left a message and never got a call back! So I am a little frustrated as I have been going to this Dr over 20 years.
Still not getting my email notifications for my friends on DS. Really frustrates me! That was my way of keeping up and making sure I read everyone's journals!
I have court tomorrow. Wish me luck. Stupid restoration company suing me for money I already paid for! I have the cancelled checks to prove it. HE did not get paid by the public adjuster and he is suing both of us. Idiot judge refused to take us out of the case!!! Ugh! Remmy goes to Vet's office for annual visit on Tuesday. I am going to try to get lots of sleep and exercise and eat right this week. I need my strength, both physical and mental!

Glad to hear your ankle is getting better. Not so glad to hear work is rough and David...David is being David! May I ask what are the laws by you for age that children can quit school? What about drivers license age? Although I would be very hesitant at giving consent to David having a driver license and being responsible for his actions.
I am with you on gaining weight. I need to come to grips with it and stop it before it becomes major.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving....I pray it is pleasant!
You have a stressful time right now. Sorry David is acting this way.
I hope your court date is finished up in one visit
Glad your ankle is doing better.
take care. Good job with the exercise.
Thanks for writing that lengthy journal. Your personality really shines through. I noticed from David\'s birthdate that he is a Sagittarius. Since you\'re barely able to cope with him anymore, it probably won\'t upset you too much to learn that Sagittarius males often run away as soon as they can legally do so, and the family may not hear from them for YEARS! Some of them disappear permanently. I\'m not trying to be smart. I have noticed in my astrology practice and friendships with people that when a member of their family has \"split\", it is usually a Sagittarian.
