Totally Stressed OUT!

Damn do I feel freaking stressed the fuck out.  There is just way too much going on at once and it's starting to stress me out badly.  I can't stand being stressed out.  It messes with my whole flow of things.  I begin to feel overwhelmed, bitchy, exhausted, sick, you name it.  My focus isn't as strong as it should be and it's causing me to slack at the office and at home.  I finally have the kids back and they're fine, however, now we've just added my stepdaughter to the mix and she's a major stress factor for me.  It's her behavior and lack of discipline from my husband that makes it hard to deal with.  He feels that she should be treated differently because she doesn't live with us, but that just doesn't help.  It actually makes things worse!  And now I'm coming to find out that we're going to have her for 3 weeks straight instead of 2.  Oh lord what have I gotten myself into?  I know I can help her get herself together and respect others more, but I can't do it alone.  I'm only her stepmother, not her biological parent.  And when I get zero help from her biological parents what the freak am I supposed to do?!  It just kills me because her stepfather can discipline her how he sees fit, yet I can't.  This is going to be a losing battle for me and one that's going to cause major trouble in my marriage.  Oh just grant me the strength to deal with this for a while longer.

Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out, that will be my mantra for a while.
