He does have his learners permit....takes drivers ed starting in December. In Mass you have to be 16 1/2 to get your license, so hopefully in January he'll be good to go. He'll have to get a job then to pay for his car insurance, etc too.

Bob might be right in that it might be time to start hiring a housecleaner again. I used to have one, but had to fire her after her assistant took some of my oxycodone. Right after that, I noticed a lot of jewelry and my Ipod missing. Of course I couldn't prove it, but I can guess who took it. Because of that my husband will have a cow when I say I want a maid again, but I just can't keep doing this.

I just don't get my kids and the mess. Everyone has vacuuming and dusting , etc but damnit, the cleanup wouldn't be so bad if they didn't just throw trash on the floor (behind the couch and tv) and if I didn't have to call them back 37 times to complete one task !!!!!!!!!

At least I'm calm about it now

I'm fantasizing about rum drinks and warm weather........
