Hi Guys!
Bonniefloyd… My youngest is my destructive one. He loves getting into the kitchen and it drives me crazy. I would lay down my life for my children (and in a lot of ways I feel that I have!), but MAN! I can’t wait for them to GTFO. I hope no one judges me for saying that, but honestly… I am so burned out and DONE. The teenage years – pretty much all of the double digits - have been AWFUL. So bad that I can’t tell you the last good day we’ve had and I think when I did experience one, I cried tears of joy. Sadly, it couldn’t have been THAT good because I can’t even remember what it was that made me cry tears of joy. It feels like the biggest ripoff in the world. Anyway… you are not alone. I could have written so much in your post #231. I ended up having to climb into the backseat to hold all the food down. I was pissed! On the way home, my trifle fell over, but at that point, I gave up! YES! SERENITY NOW!!! LOL
