I hope this is not a start to a bad week

I am in a blue funk. I dont know what it is but IT IS. I was so tired from yesterdays festivaties (sp). Lets see me and the youngest three went Christmas shopping which was a big mistake because everyone wanted something NOW. So after several hours of drama I went home. Now I know why I dont go shopping with children. After fighting the crowds and then finally getting home and resting a spell..it was on to the Honolulu City Lights Parade. It wasnt that good this year. Maybe because every year we go as a family all together. W had to work , so it was just me and the three youngest again. All I heard was complaints. My son N complained constantly when we were going home. A decided to wear her zori slippers and was getting bit by red ants and then was complaining because she couldnt see. W the III started coughing and hasnt stopped yet. I have to take him to the doctor in the morning. He is running a fever now. I came home and was wiped out. I have decided that this Christmas bull that I drag the kids and hubby to have fun at has reached the limit. No one seems to want to go to these functions and all I hear is complaints. I have tried to do this every year so everyone can feel the start of Christmas season. We missed the Kamehameha Christmas Show production because we left home late and they gave our tickets away. We still have the train ride parade at Ala Moana Shopping Center on the 15th yet. I for one am tired of trying to make everyone have a good time. If no one is into the holidays then I will be too. Its more work than anything else for me. I just am so beat that I actually slept until 9:00 am and that just never happens. I went to the grocery store this afternoon to buy a few things but have been home lounging and doing pretty much nothing today. I watched that movie with my daughter "The sisterhood of the traveling pants" but missed most of it because G called from boot camp and then W called to talk about nonsense. We just got word W's son S just got arrested at Hickam Airforce Base for shoplifting some diamond earrings. His mom who wanted custody now doesnt want it. It cost her $200 to bail him out and now she has to go to federal court for a hearing. He told her to go F herself and ran away after. W told her too bad .. you wanted custody. What a headache this child is turning into. I went on his site on myspace and he has a tounge ring and pierced his bottom lip too. His mom thinks he is doing more that weed. I am just glad he is not around the young ones although his mother has two younger children herself. His mothers husband doesnt want the kid there anymore, neither does my husband. I am thinking because of what he has done he will be placed in some detention home which is like a juvenile hall. This happened so fast. He was getting straight A's and playing football and now not even going to school and doing drugs. His face has broken out in all kinds of acne. He looks a mess. Well you cant help those that dont want to be helped and I have to leave it in Gods hands.Hickham banned him from every miltary base here and he can never ever join the airforce. What a life. I am just so glad he is not here trying to destroy us in the process.
