Still hanging in there
Work is incredibly busy and I am so tired, mentally and physically. I have been getting a new fire almost once a day for the last month! I have been driving all over the Eastern 1/2 of Pennsylvania. Top that off with the cold and snow we have had, and I am desperate for Spring. Today, (Thank you God!) it is sunny and going up to 60. I think I will go take the dogs for a walk shortly.
My shoulder and neck are still bothering me. The worst is at night and it really affects my sleep. My left arm is SO weak. I bought the Richard Simmons new dvds and they arrive tomorrow. I feel like a broken record as I know I need to put myself first and exercise and lose weight to feel better. it is a horrible catch 22- I am tired, busy, in pain and don't feel like exercise. But if I exercised, I would feel better and have more energy.
Hopefully, things will get better and slow down soon. I teach CRE (Catholic Religious Education) on Tuesday nights. That is almost over until Fall. My bowling league on Friday nights is almost over until Fall. Work should slow down some with the weather breaking.
David is back to skipping classes and failing school. I have a feeling that he will drop out of school. He just doesn't care and has no motivation. He has been going out and filling applications for a job. Last weekend his girlfriend broke up with him. It was really scary. The mood swings were scary and horrific. Screaming at the top of his lungs "I loved her. I loved her. I gave her my everything." And then hours of sobbing. Then he would cry "I want my mommy." OMG. I hugged him and tried to talk with him. Came really close to taking him to the crisis center. I need a break from the drama. doesn't help that Paul has been moody and PMS'ing. He needs to get out and do gardening or something. Boy has he been cranky as well.
Kona, Remmy and Jack are all doing fine. I still volunteer on occasion for the English Setter Rescue.
I want to get out of the "blahs".

It is good to see a journal from you again.
I am with you on the \"let spring happen\" part! This has been the hardest and longest winter! It is really wearing us all down.
Wonderful to see you back with us! David sounds SO confused. He wants his mommy--the same lady he was screaming F U at all the time! It shows he is still a child in his mind. It reminds me of an old book that said I\'M RUNNING AWAY, AS SOON AS YOU DRIVE ME AND CHERYL TO THE MALL. Kids want to be \"independent\" but have no clue as to what that requires. They curse their parents, but still expect the parents to accommodate and support them!
I too am glad to read your journal entry. Sending prayers of peace to you and your family.
Glad you to see your journal. Sorry things are so hectic.. Hopefully with the nice weather and some things ending for the spring/summer you\'ll have more time for yourself. Exercise, isn\'t that always the first to go. Hope things with David get better. As for Paul what can I say.
