Do we ever have no problems?

Ever have the feeling that no matter what you do, there will always be something else coming up? You can go to bed with such a great feeling of peace and as soon as you wake up, shit is all of the place crazy. Problems with this, problems with that, just plain problems...

I just need a few days, maybe a week with no problems. That would be like a complete life reboot.  Allow me to clear the memory, sync the disks and just start fresh. Even the best Linux machines need a reboot once in a while. I've gotta make a move for the family. We really need to get away from all the problems. It's the to the point where my eldest daughter can't even get ready for school without a huge situation exploding and potentially ruining everyone's day. And if it ain't her, it's the youngest. And if it ain't her, it's some other relative (notice the use of the term relative not family, as we can be related and not be family). And all this drags me and my wife down even further. At least I know it's because my kids are just being kids, my wife is just coping in her own way, and when it's my turn to fall apart, they'll be there for me.

The relatives aren't helping though. We've gotta get away from some of these people or we're going to drown with them. This family ship is out of life rafts and bailing water as fast as we can, but they keep kicking holes in the boat and we're gonna all sink. I'm throwing them out of the boat. I had a friend put it in perspective for me last night. I'm not prejudiced against people, just dumb-asses. Henceforth, rule #1 shall be: No dumb-asses allowed.

Oh, the rules are a new thing. I'm creating the list of "rules" / "laws" that will be in effect on my sovereign sea stead when we move out. My Boat = My Rules. Maybe that will have to be rule #1? Yeah, so rule #1: My Boat = My Rules, Your Boat = Your Rules; and #2: No dumb-asses allowed.
