Same old stuff

The weather this past weekend was beautiful.  Had a community yard sale and sold lots of stuff.  It isn't about the $550 or so we made.  I am SO happy that all of that stuff is gone!  Carting all of that shit up and out, and cleaning here and there, I got in over 15,000 steps on Saturday.  For some reason, my neck was stiff on Sunday and I felt awful.  Maybe coming down with one of those Spring colds.  My head is all stuffed today and runny and my lungs feel like they are filled up with fluid.  Maybe just allergies.  But I don't feel 100% today.  Coughing and sneezing and stuffy head.  Gave the dog a bath yesterday.  Had gotten a free sample of this dog shampoo, EQyss.  Wow!  This stuff is expensive, but what a difference!  She looks like a show dog, and she smells great!  I may have to go on line and get some.  Now I know why they give out the free samples.  The shampoo was a color enhancing shampoo, and her black looks like a beautiful shiny blue black.  Poor baby did not like getting a bath.  I had to drag her in the shower stall and shut the door and I have one of those hoses.  I will have to work on getting out some of the mats as well. David has just been a bear.  Thank God he goes back to school tomorrow.  Refuses to do chores.  Very mouthy, talking back.  I just can't take it sometimes.  On one of my support groups, family issues, the mothers were talking about Melatonin and using it to get their ADHD kids to sleep better.  i went to my local GNC and he emphatically told me not to use that stuff.  Some of these mothers were giving their kids 5mg and 10mg.  GNC's dosage was 1mg!  He recommended Valerian Root.  We are now giving this to my son.  I hope this works.  Again, two nights in a row caught him in bed with the portable DVD player, watching Terminator.  He is not allowed to watch Terminator (rated R) and obviously not allowed to watch the dvds in bed when he is supposed to be sleeping!  He snoops all over looking for stuff.  Again, we wonder if he is stealing stuff.  Kooky stuff goes missing.  We will have to search his room again tomorrow after he goes off to school.   He just continually breaks the rules and lies.  He took my roller blades again without my permission and was out using them.  I told him to go in and take them off.  He throws them in the middle of the floor.  I come in from taking the dog out, and I yell to him in the other room to put the roller blades away where he got them.  He proceeds to throw things and kick over boxes of toys, etc. He then says to my husband that he is angry and it is my fault he cannot control himself because I yell at him!  Today he is in his room and mouthy and upset.  No tv today.  Comes out and eats like 4 waffles and a pudding.  Paul tells him to go to his room and he says no.  He is hungry and will stay out and eat whatever he wants as he is hungry.  It is total power struggle here.  I definitely have to get this Total Transformation system.  It was on an informercial I saw.  It costs $350.00.  I am desperate and willing to try anything.  I am so tired of all of this yelling.  I am tired of the holes in my walls.  He is 12 and as big as me and he gets in my face and yells "no."  And I want to spank him and smack him SO bad it scares me.  I am so worried about his future.  The world will not tolerate this behavior.  He is so setting himself up for failure.  8 1/2 years of counselling and yes, we have made some progress.  But I am running out of time.  How do I get the trust back?  I don't trust him at all.  We are going to have to buy locks for doors now.
