You know, I lost it last week. I got to the breaking point and snapped. For the past 2 months, Roscoe has been working out at his dads and has never been home. My family continues to call me and expect me to fix everyone's problems, which I just can not do as much as I try. I've been trapped in this apartment playing single mom and not able to get out and do anything. For that reason I lost it last week. My father in law reserved a suite in Wheeling so we could all go out (my father in law, his wife, Roscoe and me) for a night and get away. Andre was at his friends, Roscoe and I were getting ready and the phone rang. It was Andre. "I don't feel good. My belly hurts really badly." Now, this is something he says all the time when he doesn't want to do something or gets in trouble. Over and over we asked him if he was upset about something, if he was maybe just hungry....Nope, he was sick and needed to come home. So, we had to cancel. Andre comes home, goes up and lays down for a half hour and now....he's feeling just fine. He wasn't sick. You know, I love Andre with all my heart, but I need a night out. I need to get out of this apartment. I need to have an adult night. Nope, we're sitting at home, Roscoe is playing poker online and Andre is sitting on the couch watching Sponge Bob. Once again, I feel like I am at my breaking point. I feel like I want to punch the wall or something stupid like that, but I'm too sensable to do it. Doesn't that suck? How is it that the biggest joy in my life (Andre) is also my biggest frustration?

I'm so sorry sweetie! I know how it feels. Marie has picked up that habit and has pulled it once or twice but in return I often pull something in return. "Marie - if you are really sick then maybe you will not want to go to *name of favortie place* tomorrow (or specific day). She jumps back to; "I'm feeling better: and off she runs. It may not be the best solution but when a mom is in dire need of rest and relaxation and freedom - anything goes.
