OVER THE HUMP...

I seem to be a bit aggitated when I get home these days. I have simply run out of patience with Scout and Ferret. They are really driving me up the wall. Scout will antagonize Ferret to no end. And when I ask him to stop he says "make me!" Ohhh I could just...just...
I got home yesterday and they started with the Pokemon cards. "Mom Scout stole my holigrafic Bulbousaur." I ask Scout if he took it and he said "no." Then ten min later he grabs his deck of cards and shows them to Ferret. Guess whats on the top of his deck? Yep! The same card that Ferret just said he stole. So Scout says "Yeah, well you took my Charzard" (or whatever) From that point on I could not get them to stop arguing. Very fustrating!
I finally get the Baby to sleep and sit down to watch some (M)TV. (Yes, I am a MTValoic) and after about a half hour Scout decides to run a remote control tank into the living room. That would have been fine at any other time but the Baby woke up and I was a little POed. So I ended up being up for another three hous and not getting to bed till midnight. Ugh!
I hope that they are just getting cabin fever and not having a change in their usual character. My boys are usually very sweet and a bit mischeivious. I just learned that the other day the went knocking on doors to borrow viniger and baking soda to make rockets. I know that I have tought them better than that but they were with another two boys who must be a bit braver than my two.
I think another reason that they are acting out is because school starts on the 15th and we have not gone clothes shopping yet. Scout starts his first year in middle school and he wants to make sure he has the "right" clothes. Rick had better fork over some dough!
And speaking of hump...I really need to find a boyfriend! I heard on five different occasions this week that men like women my size. So whats the problem. Oh I know, I am way to picky and have no self esteem. I do think that I am pretty and all but when I meet people I think that I have nothing to offer them. But, Yesterday while I was a work one of the guys came in to cool off for a bit and he started telling me his life story. I am a very good listener and I have excelent eye contact! I don't have much to say but I will always listen. He told me that his girlfriend back in argentina would always say that she would never get married or have kids or be happy, then he came here to start a good life for them and he got a call from his mother that she (his girlfriend) killed herself! I started to cry right then. I think he blames himself cause she never liked him doing drugs or drinking and he never stopped. Also the fact that she used to tell him she was going to die. (She hung herself in the bathroom) He tells me that he wants to stop the using but has no reason to. He also said that when he was in Argintina he had a lot of money from selling but when he came here he lost everything cause the durgs are more expensive and it is more dangerous here to sell. He told me that when he came over on the plane, he had his shoes filled with cocaine. never got caught. I really feel for the guy. He has lost so much. Whereas my lazy ass ex had nothing but good to gain and he pissed it all away.
