One more thing...(vent)

The last 2 days have been a sh*t storm. Totally stressed out. My work is really stressful right now (I work with at-risk teenagers in a homeless/runaway shelter). The kids are doing whatever they want including lots of smoking (which is not allowed even in the slightest) and we all know it is really bad for me and the baby. I've said as much and most of them don't care. We are trying to find a house to rent that allows 2 dogs. I found one that I loved and it was a scam (luckily I didn't give them any personal info). Found another and I pray that it works out. My husband has the luxury of being able to take time off whenever he wants to go hang out with friends (he went boating yesterday just "because") because he doesn't have to save ALL of his PTO for maternity leave. To top it all off I get a call from my sister saying the man our mother is living with wants her out of his house, NOW. Needless to say neither of us or our 2 brothers have a place for her to stay and she lives in California (we are all in Colorado). I've always been the one everyone turns to to lead (I'm not even the oldest of the siblings) but I'm exhausted. I had a huge meltdown yesterday. We're talking the ugly cry, snot running down my face, and overall looking like a drowned mouse. Things are so bad, I'm looking forward to jury duty tomorrow just so I can have a break from everything, even if it's only a few hours. Thanks for reading. I just needed to get that out.
Live life to the fullest and love like you've never been hurt or heartbroken.

Wow! That is a lot to deal with. I can relate to some of your post and totally know where your coming from. My husband has tons of time banked up and I am saving every last minute. It gets so frustrating when he takes off to golf on a whim and I get upset when I have to take off an hour for a baby appointment because I'd rather have that hour to spend with my baby when he/she gets here. I guess the way I look at it when I get upset is that at least we have jobs that allow us to take anytime off, and my husband will be able to take time off when the baby gets here too!
Also, my dad and his wife decided to get a divorce and so he now lives in my basement- because I happen to be the only responsible one in my entire family. All I can say is sometimes it sucks to do the right thing.
As far as the rest...I am so sorry you are going through all that! Hopefully it will get better and vent away when you feel like you need an ear!
Wow - I'm sorry you're going through all of that! I feel you on the house thing, we've been looking for a house to rent since we got married but we have to be picky due to our budget and the area we live in... I found a couple that I LOVED and were perfect only to have them swooped up the day before I applied! Just (try to) be patient, you'll find the perfect house when you are supposed to and you'll love it!!
Keep your head up, sometimes our DH's don't really "get" what we're going through which is tough when they are the one person we really want on the same page!
So sorry you are going through all of that. Sounds very stressful. Try to do what you can to relax if at all possible, and deal with what you can one thing at a time. Hope everything gets much better soon.
Can you "confiscate" the cigs at the door before the teens enter the house? (they can get them back
They aren't allowed to have them ever, nor do they get to come and go as they please. We search everyone but they still get sneaked in b/c we can't touch them or "pat them down".
Things are slowly getting better.
