bothersome

   Really gotta start getting back on a schedule! I feel like my life is chaos now. Drue didn't go to school today. This morning was insane. He refused to get dressed. No matter what Michael or I did, he just sat there and stared at the wall. Michael got really mad and sent him back to bed. He isn't allowed to play games or watch tv this week. He has been getting in trouble for not doing his work at school too. I'm worried. I have been trying to figure out what could be causing this change in behavior and can't think of anything that has changed except for us moving.. that is when this all started but I can't figure out why that would be at all bothersome to him. We all like it here and we only moved next door. He still sees everyone. I don't know but I have to get myself back on track and try to find a way to fix this. It seems like he doesn't like school anymore. When I try to ask him about school, he doesn't want to talk. He'll say he doesn't remember. It's weird. Maybe someone is picking on him at school? He has always told me about that stuff when it happened though. He came home with a big scratch on his neck last week and I asked him what happened and he told me a kid on the bus did it... he didn't seem to care.. I will keep trying to talk to him about everything and see if I get anywhere with it. Drue is really difficult to get to talk though.
   I have been really depressed and Michael has been really good with helping me out around the house. I'm so thankful for him. He seems to like his new job so far. I'm happy about that. We found out he will get paid every week again. Yay! I love that!! Budgeting is way more fun that way!
   So.. I started trying to get things in order on paper today.. I haven't written in my journals since right after we moved in. I'm thinking that could have added to my stress and depression issues. I started budgeting, now that it's fun again.. I wrote down all the things that we need to get done in the next few weeks and, after writing it all down, I feel better. I need to remember to always do that!
