P left for her Dr appointment today, she's going back half days starting June 5th. I know that she's happy about that. She also has to have ANOTHER round of antibiotics because the Dr. says that she's still got some fluid up there. 

I rode my bike into town, 8 miles round trip, to return some DVDs and pick some more up so that I can watch them while I'm doing laundry. I can tell how out of shape that I am, I did the same ride last year and it wasn't too bad, I think I'm going to be in pain later.

The boy is being a HUGE pain in the butt. He's got 2 days left of school and has a report on Russia that is late. He's playing this power game about how I should trust him to get it done despite the fact that he's only playing video games when ever I walk by. 

I really want to go to sleep but I've got to get SOME laundry done. I'm going to also have to take the ethernet cables from the computers so the boy doesn't try to go online.

That is a freakin long trip! I wish I could do that.. Soak in the tub tonight. Preventative pain relief is the key. Take ibuprofen tonight as well. You may not need it now but you will thank me tomorrow. *grins* Trust me I am an expert on muscle pain! Do you take a multi-vit or any vitamins? If so, take an extra one. Most will be helpful. None will harm.

It is instinctual to want to save our children from all that can possibly hurt them or cause them pain. Sometimes it is the hardest thing but the most necessary thing to do... that is to let them fall. To let them make mistakes. To let them fail. It is hard. It will be harder later on if you do not. He is still young. He will and can grow from this. It is best to let him fall when the ground is not too far away. (((( hugs ))))
I was just asked by my parents what would I charge PJ in rent to let him live here if the apartment fell through. (he wants to not live at my parents house and I guess they do not want him there) I had to say "No, He can not live with me." He can not live with me. Then they asked me about my answer. I said he can live with his Dad. PJ and I just talked about him doing things with me. His answer was that we do not have things in common. Hell, if he will not come over to watch tv or something why would I let him live here? He said at least his Dad and him have common interests. Video games, television and smoking weed. Damn! that is some great relationship? NOT! He has to be on his own. He has to fail on his own. I can not let a person like that in my life. I have had to back out of his life. If and when he matures and comes to me, then we can have a relationship. I can not put myself through this anymore. It is hard. I have to do it. I have to save us both.
I would have "boy" do the laundry. It is so strange how we pamper kids and do not expect them to do the most basic of all things. Laundry. LOL

Amazingly today, I'm not in any pain at all! I am surprised because my legs felt so weak yesterday. Perhaps tomorrow will be worse?

I've decided that I'm going to ride the boy once school is out to get the basement room (where his computer is) clean and his bedroom(including the closet)and as long as he can maintain the basement room, I'll be fine. I will get all the laundry washed but he'll be doing his from now on.

I do totally agree with your comments, I can't believe how some kids aren't even able to do simple things but I hope I'm not setting my boy up for the same.

Most likely if today was good then tomorrow will be too!

Every once in a while he can pitch in to do the laundry. LOL Especially if you are hurting. *hugs* I was not saying that he should do all his laundry. It is just a good thing to know how to do. And everyone once in awhile do it if you are busy or hurting. I am more concerned with you and your well being than with a boy that I do not know at all. LOL

Some parents just do not get that!

Yeah, I've decided that he can do his laundry.


Hey, are you still there? I haven't seen any posts from you in a while.

I double checked my flist... I have had that happen before. Thanks for pointing this out to me. sorry... LJ is weird in many ways. I also know of someone who had their whole flist eliminated. YIKES!
