Just A Sort Of Depressing Night

Sorry, I just don't feel like writing much tonight.  Lots of things going on that make me feel like a failure as a mother.  I'm hoarse from yelling, and my eyes burn from crying.

It's nothing too awful, but my son just really got to me today with his procrastination and excuses.  I feel like I'm just not getting anywhere with him and his laziness about his reading and writing homework.  He's going down the same path I went, and I don't want him to.

At least my shelf is clean.  Boxing up 40+ video games will do that.  The iPad, phone, and DS are all out of sight now as well.

I am honestly at my wits' end.  I am out of ideas on how to handle this, and if taking away the things he loves doesn't do the trick, then I don't know what will.  God knows yelling hasn't had any effect.

Fuck.  This is what I get for being an asshole child.  Karma kicking me squarely in my ample ass.
