tired

I’m not sure why I am so tired. The kids at home are doing well. Money is tight,but it has been much tighter before. I do know that the inflation that the government tells me doesn’t exist is eating up an awful lot of our income. The kids at home are doing pretty well. A couple of them are making some large strides and the thirteen year old,well he has been living quite pleasantly in his own world. They are easy kids to have around.
Youngest is still youngest. That is hard for me, I suppose. when he regresses it is into opposition and violence. He is regressing. He is getting in trouble again. He doesn’t want to come home. Perhaps it isn’t so much that he doesn’t want to be home. Perhaps, it is more he doesn’t want to face the ramifications.He has to face the people he has hurt. There is no new placement. There is just us. He will still have to participate in family life.
He has a dilemma. He no longer likes where he is. He wants out. Badly. Unfortunately,he does not want to come home unless he calls the shots (and what kid really wants to call all the shots?) He isn’t going to be allowed to call the shots. Quite a problem for my son.
That still doesn’t explain why I am so beat.
I think I will take a nap and call it good.
