Overflowing Stress

Stress really isn't good for someone with stomach ulcers, but there is alot of that these days in my life.  I have so much going on and so much to do that I don't know which way to turn my head.  I got to find a new home for our German Shepherd.  That won't be easy as needs alot of training but is very willing to learn as he knows a few things like sitting and playing fetch.  He is also good with young children.  He actually walks in circles around my 1 year old if someone is near her and if she adventures into our yard, he follows her every move.  We have just failed to get him his shots and he needs to be fixed.  And the destruction he has made that I have mentioned, is only my fault because he does that out of a lack of exercise and being stimulated.

We are suppose to be moving back to Alabama end of this month but looks like that won't happen until mid July.  My husband has put in many applications for a job down south but nothing yet.  Not to mention the money we have to save with is about $5,000 for a cross country move.

Then there is Matthew and his mental problems.  Before it was just bitching about anything.  Now that the social worker has him on a point system for him to earn points to do the things he wants, he now argues over the points.  If it wasn't for me, they wouldn't be going to therapy.  There comes a point in time when you have to say enough is enough and that is exactly what I did with my husband.  Go to therapy with Matthew or I walk with our 3 children.  I don't like the example Matthew is leaving behind for my other children in which I have to combat with.  Knowing my husband, I knew he would go because he loves me way too much to ignore my demands.

Somewhere between all that mess is my school work.  I've been very disappointed in myself these last few weeks because I have been slacking in my school work.  Especially in my AP I class.  I'm still making an A so I guess that is still good.  The husband started school and I'm having to help him with his algebra.  I'm having to get all my paperwork sent to Rasmussen.  I lost my taxes so now I'm dealing with the IRS to get a copy.

I keep telling myself that God will not give me more than I can handle but when will I get my break???  My life has been nothing but a big stressor since 2005.  I need a break.  Oh did I mention I need knew hearing aids because mine are 5 years old.  Since my husband is retired Navy, the military does not pay for them.  Each one of my hearing aids was $2,500 bucks.  My audiologist said the cheapest way was to find a hearing place that works with siemens hearing aids to see if they can "twink" them.  /sigh
