Too Much to Ask?

Is is too really too much to ask for my husband and my kids NOT to be stupid when I am trying to write a term paper?  I've only been attending this school for the last 2 1/2 years and the schedule has only been  the same the ENTIRE time.  My entire family knows that I have homework on Thursdays and Mondays.  And I have papers due on Mondays.  So what do they do?  Danny decides to throw a fit because I won't just drop everything and drive him up to the Boardwalk so he and and some friends can walk around and "look for jobs".  Not like I have anything better to do.  It's only after 4pm, haven't started dinner, still have papers to write, kid to put through showers and in bed, house to clean....  Dinner ended up being an hour late since I had to send my husband to the store for sour cream since I have no idea what happened to the container I had in the fridge.  That took almost 30 minutes right there.  I finally get dinner on the table and Danny is asleep in his room.  Guess that is what happens when you stay up half the night and still have to get up and go to school.  At least I get to lay down during the day to take a nap when Kate does.  So I finally sit down about 8 to start writing and Del decides that is when he needs to come downstairs and tell us he is having trouble with a couple kids in his class.  His daddy goes ballistic.  The last couple of years, that was how the "I'm not going to school" started.  Trouble with other kids, trouble with the teachers, on and on until he just wasn't going or it was a battle to get him out of the van at the door.  So his dad immediately jumped to that conclusion and got mad.  I sent Del upstairs and went outside to calm down.  Ridiculous that he waits till I sit down to write to start this and that his dad can't even hear him out before getting upset.  Turns out Del is handling it at school like he is supposed to, just wanted us to know what was going on. (Supposedly).

Can I get a day where I don't have to play mediator between my kids or between my husband and the kids? I finally get my paper done at about 11:45, still have other homework to finish and turn in by midnight.  That still leaves me with the house to clean up before I can go to bed.  I didn't even bother to make hubby's lunch before I went to bed.  Left if for this morning.  Made it before I left to take Del to the bus.  Still have a sink of dishes, but wasn't waiting up for the dishwasher to finish so I could unload and re-load it.  Ugh...  At least it was gorgeous out this morning when I walked out the door.  Nice and cool, only about 72 according to the van...  Wish it would stay that way.

And I seriously need a new keyboard.  The space bar on this one doesn't like to play nice anymore.
