I am just ready to be settled

I am so stressed that I cant see straight, between being here alone with my kids, trying to get insurance lined out, hoping hubby finds a house and the day from hell this week, I am at just stressed beyond words. I know there are many people in this world who have many more worries than I, but I am just stressed.
This week Curious George has been back, she again cut her hair, but at his point it looks so bad, I am not sure she could do anymore damage. I know what you are thinking "Why does this crazy lady keep leaving the scissors where this child can get them?" Well the answer is I don't, but she is very rescourcful, and she will find a way to get them. Last night, I put the kids in bed, and then I went next door to talk with the neighbor, I had the monitor on G, but I didn't have it on in the girls room. Well I am the mean mommy who has her kids in bed by 8pm, while the rest of the kids are out playing and my kids never understand this. So anyway, about 8:30 my neighbor was calling her kids in, and L was down the block on her bike in her jammies and shoes. I asked her what she was doing and told her to get inside, and in her very cute and proud voice she said "Look mommy that girl gave me these, you chew and spit, chew and spit" It was so cute, she was talking about sunflower seeds. I told her to get in and go to bed, so she did and all was well with the worked again. Tonight, I put them down about 7:30 they were getting fussy and L didn't have a nap so she was in rare form. I was on the computer and about 9:45pm I hear them making all kinds of noise. I yell up for them to get in bed to which H replies L wants to sleep in your bed, well at that point I just wanted them to go to bed, so I said fine just get in bed. They both climbed in my bed, but yet I still hear them, so I went upstairs, L was naked in my bed and had again pushed her mattress off of her bed and pulled all the sheets off of it. No wonder she wanted to sleep in my bed. So I made her put her jammies bock on, and get in bed, they are finally asleep. I feel as though lately all I do is get on to them. I feel like a horrible mom. I know I am stressed, but it isn't their fault why cant I just Be nice. And to top it off Step Son brought his report card home today and of the 4 grades on it one was a d and one was an f. Not acceptable. I have yet to figure out what to do about that. I am thinking at 9pm he will have to give me all electronic devices and the tv will go off, because at this point he watches tv until who knows when and is on the computer, or psp, or itouch, or ps3 until who knows when. I think he needs to know that there are consequences for not making good grades.
Now for some good. G ate some grapes today, he actually ate them didn't spit them out. I was so proud. Yesterday I tool them to the park and tried to put him in the sand box, he was having nothing to so with that. He hated it. Poor kid i have never met a kid who didn't like the sand box. This is part of his SPD, he doesn't like the texture. I so hope we can get these issues worked out with him. I feel so bad for him. He is just the greatest little boy, although he is starting to act out more. We went to the park today, he was hitting and pushing a little boy and when I told him no, he threw himself on the ground hitting himself throwing a fit. I know he doesn't understand, but I don't know what to do. Please pray for him, pray that we will get his issues worked out. I feel for him. Although I think maybe we caught it early and we can work it out so he wont have issues as a youngster.
Anyway that is our week. I hope to have a brighter update soon. Thanks for checking on us. Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come.............

Is there any possiblity that Curious George may have SPD also. She sounds so much like my Monkette.
