TEENAGERS!

Current mood: infuriated 
Irritated, Irate, Hurt and Angry

 

I must agree with that statement. Teenagers are the leading cause of insanity...Yes, they are. I'm going to go insane and stay that way for the next 11 years!

So...my oldest son, 14, gets hurt yesterday while goofing off with his friends. He's over at a friends house with a bunch of his pals and they're goofing off in the pool. He gets hurt. He ends up with badly bruised knees. Yes...if it's not one body part, it's another with that kid! He just got over a sprained shoulder and bruised sturnum only to now suffer from bruised knees.  They had school off yesterday because of MLK Jr Day and so today the first day back at school, his alarm goes off at 5:30am. He's calling out to me..."Mom, I can't even walk. My knees hurt so badly." I tell him to suck it up and go about his day like everyone else has to when they're hurt. BUT NO, he lays there and wastes time and whines and says I don't care about him. I don't know what it feels like to have sore knees and blah blah "F*()_E Blah...Like he doesn't know I have arthritis in my knees. That I suffer EVERY GOD PICKEN Dam day with stiff, sore and half the time I swear USELESS knees. But yeah, I don't know what it feels like! So...he wastes enough time he misses the bus. He didn't stay home though. Jorie made his butt get up, get in the shower, take some asprin, and he took him to work with him. Told Austin if he wasn't going to school, he sure as hell wasn't staying home to give me a bunch of crap all day. So he made Austin go to the office with him and get an "education" on the job. Works for me...as long as I don't have to deal with him! GRRRRHHAHAHAHA....

Oh...I just want to strangle that kid! I love him dearly and he's my son, but dam sam I just want to put my hands around his throat and squeeze til his face turns purple and his eyes bug out of his skull! I know...I'm a horable person, worse mother in the world, for thinking like that. Hell...so sue me! Report me...right at this second, I just don't give a dam. I could use a vacation!!! Put me in a cell...give it to me. I'd love solitary confinement.

I gotta give credit to my very loving, understanding and patient husband. He wants to teach Austin that he can't just give me an attitude, but still let him have his way. I mean...really, I guess if he were an adult and had a job...he'd call in sick or some excuse and not go to work becuase of his hurt knees. AAhhh...I just hate it. I hurt. I get stiff and sore...but I still have to get up. I still have to push through and live with the pain. I still have to function and move, clean, cook, do laundry. I can't give into the pain and stiffness or I'd be stuck in bed or whatever forever. But I guess at 14...you just don't get it or understand it. I try to remember what it was like when I was 14...arthritis is hereditary...my mother's suffered with it since I was a kid. I KNOW what she went through, but I didn't really understand her pain when I was my sons age. So...I guess it's true what they say about what goes around, comes around. I never EVER dared tell my mom though that she didn't know what it was like or whatever. Even though I didn't *know* what she was going through, I *knew* she was in pain!

Ggrrrr...I just...I can't keep going on, because it's not helping at this point. I thought venting my frustration in my journal would help, but it's just pissing me off more writing and thinking about it. I guess I just have to do some major scrubbing and cleaning today. Ha! Jorie's going to come home to a shinny clean home tonight. I guess the day's not totally lost with that. I'll get my anger and frustration out in cleaning. So...I'm done.
