I QUIT...I don't want to deal with a teenager!!

First, let me say I'm sorry I haven't posted in a couple days, its been a hectic week! As you know Kierstin was sick, and that wasn't fun, but she's finally over it...thank you, thank you!!

Anyways, onto the latest drama....As I've told you before, we have my hubbys brother who lives with us. And, he has a tendency to act up when my hubby's not around.

Well, last night he asked if he could go and hang out with some friends (one whom I know and up to this point have liked, and another one that he recently met). Now the one he recently met is kind of questionable. He just looks like a hoodlum.

So, I said yes. I can't not trust him until he gives me a reason to, cause that wouldn't be fair. So they pick him up at around 6:15, he asks what time he has to be home, and I told him I didn't care, just not too late (he is 18). So at about 8:30 he comes home. Walks in the door, goes straight downstairs to where his room is (which he never does, he always comes in, sits down wherever I am and talks) and changes his clothes, then preceeds to go in the bathroom and I can hear the water running, he was in the bathroom for like 10 minutes....suspicious right? So anyways, he finally comes upstairs, and he won't look at me, and even when I try to talk to him, he's looking everywhere but at me, using the dogs as a distraction..and so on. Now, I wasn't born yesterday. I lived it up when I was a teenager. As far as I can tell, he's high!

So I keep trying to get a good look at his eyes....they're glossy. At this point I'm going over scenarios in my head, should I tell my hubby, should I confront him, should I give him a drug test? I just don't know. So, I decide of course I'm going to tell my hubby, I believe in being open and honest, and I'll be damned if I'm going to keep this to myself. So I go in my room and call him, and tell him. Of course he's not happy. He tells me to go get a drug test and give it to Jake when I get home from work today. He also says that if its positive, we're kicking him out. Oh the stress! So I got a drug test on my lunch break, my stomach has been a wreck all day, and in about an hour I get off work, so home I go, and I have to give him a drug test. (A little history on Jake...he came to live with us right before he turned 16, he had problems at home, had gotten into some trouble, and yes...did drugs) Now, since we've had him, he's been pretty good. No drugs, he's gotten into minor trouble with us a few times, but nothing major...just typical teen stuff. Deep down he's a good kid, he just had a rough life...and his mother is a mental case, which of course didn't help him.

I'm just so nervous. What if I'm wrong, what if he didn't do anything wrong, then I'll really feel like an ASS! But, on the other hand, I can't take chances...I have 2 little girls at home, and I don't want any of that shit around my kids. Welcome to my crazy, dramatic life. I will let you know how the test goes......I'm hoping for the best :D
