  My life is typically quite stressful, but manageable. Lately, though, I'm feeling like I need to check into a local psych ward! Our 16 & 14 y/o have slid into the hormone crazed phase, & are just...well, they're driving me nuts!! The 14 y/o is being especially troublesome, lots of attitude, back-talk, etc. Dealing with it on a daily basis is draining my patience, stamina & ability to cope. Our oldest isn't going to be able to come home from college for Thanksgiving; he only has 2 days off, & flying back & forth would be outrageously expensive. It'll be the 1st time he'll be away from home for Thanksgiving in his life! My former sister-in-law (recently divorced from my brother-in-law) is making life...well, a living h*ll!! She's mad at everyone on my brother-in-law's side of the family, & she's seeking revenge because her plot to sabotage her marriage &/or family backfired on her. She's called, anonymously, city officials where we live (from another state, mind you!) to have them "ride us" about our youngest son's toys in the yard. The kicker, though, was her looking up on-line all the properties that are connected with my husband, and his parents, and called PETA to complain that we're "hoarding animals" in our houses. We have ONE cat!  My parents-in-law have 2 cats (I think) and a couple of dogs, but they live out in the country! I'm so sick of her crap, I'd love to drive to where she lives & just punch her!  Our youngest son loves to play with our neighbor's granddaughter (they're just a few months apart in age); she was abused by her mother's parents (and possibly other people), so she has a lot of issues to be dealt with. Needless to say, she doesn't always behave, & our son is picking up those traits! Top it all off, I got a nasty note in my "mailbox" at work, complaining about me clocking out late! People who don't do their job don't get in trouble, but those of us who actually care about our patients, & make sure things are done properly get griped at...AARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm having a really tough time with my faith; I keep trying to pray, talk to God & seek His guidance, but He seems so far away, & it seems like prayers don't reach Him. I know that all of that is a problem with ME, not Him, but it's still hard! Anyway, thanks for letting me rant, ramble & vent!! {{{{{{hugs}}}}}} to all of you strong, beautiful ladies!!
