  It's Thursday evening and I'm holed up in my bedroom. nbsp;  I absolutely hate my life right now. nbsp;  Lest you get worried that I'm suicidal,  let me assuage your fears.
nbsp;  I wouldn't kill myself because I'm so self- conscious about being found dead. nbsp; nbsp;  Besides,
 it's much better to be homicidal.  It's been 5 days since big Donna dropped off her three kids. nbsp;  Most of the time has been great. nbsp;  Things,
 however,  have begun to grate on my every last nerve. nbsp;  One of my nieces is prone to whining and bickering. nbsp;  My nephew has become annoying to the extreme.
nbsp;  He reminds me more and more of " Eddie Haskell"  from Leave It To Beaver . nbsp;  And earlier this evening,
 after dinner,  he took almost 20 minutes to brush his teeth. nbsp;  Now,  I'm all for good oral hygiene,  but this was ridiculous (
especially the grating spitting) nbsp; nbsp;  Then,  after Dad and I played UNO with them,  he went and spent another eternity re-
brushing. nbsp;  I snapped and asked,  " Why the hell are you brushing again? nbsp;
 His smarmy answer was,  " I just drank a soda. nbsp;  My head felt like it would explode!  My sister is having problems with their rental property down here.
nbsp;  The tenants seem to have skipped out and left the house trashed. nbsp;  Yesterday,  she came down with her husband and brother- in-
law to fix things up since they don't want to pay anyone else to do it. nbsp;  Now it's 10: 48pm and I'm waiting for the three of them to come here to flop here for the night. nbsp;  They didn't sleep here last night.
nbsp;  They stayed at a hotel that they claim was " outrageous" nbsp;  Of course,  since Mom is such a soft touch,
 she said they could stay here in addition to their three kids and us three already here. nbsp;  That'll make 9 sleeping here tonight.  I cannot wait to go to work tomorrow! nbsp;  I hate the fact that I have to escape from my own house.
nbsp;  I shouldn't have to. nbsp;  I really need some psycho medication! nbsp;  All will be well when things are back to their normal routine.
nbsp;  No need calling the authorities because you think me a danger to myself or others. nbsp;  I'll just be sitting here on my bed,  rocking back and forth,  calmly reciting to myself "
Serenity Now!
