Life Sucks

There I said it. Not "stinks." Not is "hard." It S-U-C-K-S, period. Most weeks there are one or two days I want to give up. Depending on the week of the month it maybe a whole week if there isn't chocolate around.
Here is the bed I made and I am willing to lie in. I brought 7 children into this world and it is my #1 job to make sure they are loved good-productive citizens, and know the gospel of Jesus Christ. Love them when they make their own decisions. Fine.

Why does EVERYDAY have to be a freakin' drama? No seriously to coin a phrase from Jen, my life is a sitcom- and not a really good one at that!
Here is an example of the crap that goes on.

Ok so we have this RV. It is early 80s shag.....nice in a burnt orange kind of way. I was mad at Scott for buying it at an estate sale , but it has come to good use. We have actually never used it, but we have let others use it to be in the Hill Cumorah Pageant. Matt uses it as a nice little apartment.
We have good friends using it now. We have planned for MONTHS for this. I got everything ready so that it would be up at the Hill 2 days before they arrived.....NOoooooooooooooooooooo. There is a 6 inch wire somewhere in the 33 ft long piece of RV .... that was bad and had to be found and replaced. Scott and Larry Riker took 10 hours , WITH Super Mechanic on the phone,to look for it. Nope. All the prayers in the world - nope. The next day Larry Riker comes again this time with 3 or 4 mechanics and spends another hourssss looking for it and FINALLY two hours before the family arrives they get it.
This poor family didn't know if they would have a place to stay AFTER the cast was already suppose to be arriving.
Scott got a 2nd job its great money, but it is HAAAAAARD. He uses our big van for carrying ladders. I took it to Wal M**t to get an oil change...there was no oil in it when we got it back from them. We didn't know that. I mean when you pay $70 dollares for an oil change you assume we get oil with that right? Oil CHANGE

He/we drove it until there was a weird knocking sound. Mhmmmm the ENGINE. Mike, the Super Mechanic, worked on it, got it going for for under an arm and a leg but .... it broke again 3 hours after Super Mechanic returned it. Did I mention we don't all fit in a minivan AND Alex is leaving for college next week. Some how I doubt that Alex( 6'3") all of his college things, Scott and I, and Ben will fit into the Mazda for a 9 hr trip.
Lets talk abt insurance. Matt, nephew, lives with us. He was in an accident last NOV. HIs car was towed and we never saw it again. Insurance agent was called to cancel the policy because the car was wrecked. Matt gets this letter from the DMV saying if he doesn't pay immediately his license will be suspended indefinitely. Seems they think he has been driving for 8 mos uninsured. First it was going to cost 3 k. I talked them down to 1.5 k, then we said forget it I have another idea to prove he wasn't at fault. That idea came through successfully after literally 4 hrs of calls and papers faxed..not to mention going here there and everywhere. It was finally resolved successfully...and with out a dime. Until...
Yeah it gets better...
I get this call and LETTER from MY insurance company saying we are canceled in two weeks because Matt lives with us and he had a terrible driving record. Hold it what.. or as I say at this point WTF? Yeah you heard me. Turns out they have a whole freakin' department to cross reference people. Travelers is a private company, they can do what they want,but I have two options : Matt can't just move out, cuz you know he is going to college in the fall.
He has to have a copy of a lease, utility and some moronic other thing(dorms don't count)
or
Go to VA where is mother lives , turn in his license, get a new one
or get a car and another policy.
All in two weeks
if I go with another company it is literally
double.
soooo looks like we are paying double.

Sarah had her uncle teach her to build a fire with out matches so she can be a CIT at camp....that gave Andrew ideas.
He built a fire with batteries and Hannah burned her hand. Like Batteries are up high above the refidge, next to the dangerous meds. I can't get them out of reach any more than that
2 chickens died in the heat wave. We gave them fresh water, hosed them down...other than inviting them in to our air conditioned rooms....what could I do. I literally watched one walking and keel over dead. I just had to walk away.
I hate the third color we painted the bathroom...it looks like diarrhea and that should NOT be a bathroom color, but it will have to do
I am tired.
