I'm so stressed and burnt out right now.
School is going good. I have taken an exam in my Biology class, and I got the second highest grade. Needless to say I was pretty stoked about that, especially since over 70% of the class received a D or below. Took an exam in my Chemistry class yesterday, feel pretty confident about it, although there were things I didn't know so I guessed. I enjoy my classes and really like my teachers. My CNA class is good but so SO long. It's from 8:30-5:30 on Saturdays. Luckily we got a new teacher since our last teacher was royally screwing us.
But man driving 45 minutes to get to school then 45 minutes to come home is draining. I go to work from 7-11, go home eat lunch grab my book bag and drive to school. From there I go to class drive back to town and get the boys. I then go home play with them, feed them, bathe them, read stories and tuck them into bed. Then I do homework, shower, usually eat my dinner then go to bed. Then comes 5 in the morning and my routine starts all over. It gets exhausting and is definitely a roller coaster. I'm grateful for my parents, they help me out by watching the boys on Saturday so I can go to school and if I need to run a few errands. But, man it would be wonderful to have a partner with the parenting. Instead their father moved an hour and a half away to go to school, doesn't have a job except for his one weekend a month with the National Guard, and sees them every other weekend (if he doesn't cancel). He doesn't text or call to see how they are doing, and rarely answers his phone when Shawn calls to talk to him. It's heartbreaking when Shawn asks about daddy and I have no answers. It's also pathetic that he can't call or text or anything and he is done with school at noon everyday.
Shawn might need glasses, his eyes tend to cross when he watches TV (which maybe he is just focusing to hard) but I'm getting him checked out, but not until Nov 18. Then we found out Landon has allergies, a lot of them. He is allergic to milk, soy, peanuts, dog, eggs, green beans, and peas. Oh and amoxicilian. I have to get special formula for him now so he doesn't get sick from the milk or soy based formula. Also I have to read labels like crazy and make sure none of the ingredients he is allergic to are in it. And it's an absolute challenge. I don't know how I'm going to do it all, but everytime I've said that before I get it done...hopefully this is the same.
But now its time for Landon's doctor appointment.
Also, if anyone knows of any meals, recipes of any kind that don't involve any traces of milk, soy, peanuts, or eggs please let me know.

That is a lot, but you seem to be handling it well. Your ex is a douche. How he can avoid his children like that astonishes me. He'll come to regret it and it will be too late. If I come across any recipes, I'll let send them your way.
