I read about that... not like you have a choice, but I know that doesn't help...
Well that isn't as bad as I feared it was. You've got most of the material down, right?

I think so, though I need some Algebra tutoring and I still don't get some of the Chem stuff I missed, though I'm starting to understand the current stuff now that my teacher figured out how to teach.

I might take a look when my brain works again and see if you can help.

They can only get better though, right? ^^;

I wouldn't say that, else Murphy'll get you but good. I don't think things are very likely to get worse, however.

----------
Okay... I know I've been complaining an awful lot lately... but seriously! Is it so wrong for me to be frustrated?
I am a neat freak sometimes. I hate my house being messy. The thing is, I can't keep up with my brother and sister. They just make messes faster then I can clean them and since I keep getting injured lately they have had to do their own chores. It's murder just to get them to pick up! My mother.... the real reason I'm ranting... doesn't help at all! She complains about how messy it is enough but I suggest she clean something and she goes on about it all being our mess. I'm betting she couldn't find a single thing, outside of my room, that she could call my mess.
It just frustrates me so much! I have to balance my homework, my make-up work, taking care of the family ( making sure everyone gets up on time for school, alarms are set, people shower and care for themselves, the works ), taking care of the animals ( as of now: two dogs, two lizards, a turtle and a handful of fish ), and the house work?! How can I manage that? It's driving me insane. Mostly because I need to come on here at least once a day to keep from going crazy! If I didn't have you guys I swear I'd have cracked by now. This is all too much work for me to handle. If it was a paying job then I would deal because there would be that light at the end of the tunnel. All I have is moving from one day to the next, hoping it will get better.
It sounds so stupid for me to complain but goodness... I'm only 17! I shouldn't be worrying about caring for my family. The first though on my mind shouldn't be 'Did so and so remember to take their meds?' or 'Is there an appointment today?' Those are questions for adults, people that have had their time to be kids and for others to do stuff for them. I have never had it like that. I have always had to looks out for someone, usually my brother. I had to protect him all through Elementary school.
When my dad made us move to California he was never home. My mom lived in her computer. I had to take care of everyone then deal with getting yelled at by my father when he got home. It got to the point where I got home from school, cleaned the house, hid in my room reading for a few hours, came out and made dinner, ate, went back into my room till dad got home, made him dinner, got yelled at, went back into my room and read more.
That was my life for almost 5 years! I didn't have a life! I didn't do homework either... I didn't try in school... I didn't care. I had two friends and that was cool I hung out with them at lunch... *sigh* that's more then I have now.
Life since my dad kicked out has been insane. I've had to work so hard. At least we're in a house now so things are better. We spent a year and a half living in my grandmother's refurbished garage! Whatever... that's not what I came here to rant about. That's over and we're in a house now.
I just wish there was someone, besides me to look after us. My mom tries... I know she does and I love her for it... She does all the legal and financial stuff. Stuff I couldn't do... I just wish she would pick up some slack around the house... just help me out a little. I can't afford to take a real day off... If I suddenly decided to become as lethargic as I once was, this whole family would crumble to pieces. Nothing would get done. I just really wish so much didn't depend on me.
Gosh I need a vacation from being me! I wish that for one day I could be in the shoes of some other, normal, teenager and deal with their problems then run off to mom and dad so they could help me. I don't have that... I am mom and dad in this house.
Gah! Sorry. I rant so much lately... Well hopefully I wont have need to again for a while.

No it is not wrong for you to be frustrated, I understand completely. I'd die if I had to deal with what you do... you're doing virtually all the work a parent has to do and schoolwork all at the same time... I don't know how you do it normally, let alone with injuries.
I second that hope and add another: that things get better for you in the future.

*giggle*
Why do people always ask me that? XP
It's just how I am. I always know things are going to get better. It hasn't really happened yet but it will. ^^

I'm an incurable pessimist, as I'm sure you've noticed on quite a few occasions >_>

I vow to change that someday!
I don't care how long it takes. XP

Hate to break it to you... but that isn't going to happen. Nothing that happens, ever, is going to change how I view the world. Specific parts of it, maybe, and in that respect, I'm already an optimist, concerning the people here, and how much it rocks to be around 'em.

wow...
longy ranty rany..
i have friends who are my age and do some of that.
and you wouldn't want to be the "normal" being normal means being selfish...
but you have to tell your mom and explain it to your brother and sister. This can't keep happening.
if i was in Florida i'd help you.somehow.
maybe if you get a decent job you can hire a maid.^^
