just gotta say...
I'm ready for a change. What that is I don't know. Family and home are great! I'm just starting to get this overwhelming sense of being....well, overwhelmed. lol. I spent 2 hours crying my eyes out last night. 
I'm feeling pulled in a million different directions. Work is[at least] twice as demanding as it was before I left, I feel like I'm trying to teach my parents how to "parent" my daughter in my absence(it may be time to seek out daycare options), and I think I'm coming down with something now. Maintaining home, work, family, and self is much more difficult than I ever imagined, I knew it wasn't going to be easy - I just never imagined all the emotions I could feel in a single day. Please know that I cherish all that I have and know that I'm blessed.
It's weird how everything is really in a good place, but I'm totally stressed. I feel like something's gotta give....
What's your rant for today? What do you "just have to say"?
Re: just gotta say...
Oh Sweetie! I'm so sorry that you're feeling overwhelmed. Just know that you're doing a Super Great Job! You have taken on so many things almost all at the same time, so there is a definitely need for adjustment and time for things to feel somewhat ok, normal and routine. Please please please let me know if I can help you with anything, finding a daycare, sweeping you away for a day at the spa, mall or lunch, job search/advise, whatever!
Remember that you're not alone. We're here to cheer you on Mama! You're doing great! Big BIG hugs!!!
What your feeling is completely normal. Just do the best you can every day and everything else will just fall into place.
My rant is my about my son's dad. My son goes to a private school. His mom pays for it and we pay for all the little things like books, registration, uniforms, etc. Since my divorce I just don't have the money for all that stuff. His dad knows this. For the last year we both haven't been happy with the school and have been deciding on pulling him out and placing him in public school. His dad lives in the best school district in our area and I'm all for placing him there. His dad decided to keep him in the private school because his girlfriends daughter goes there and it's easier on them. Fine whatever but don't get pissy at me when I told you I can't afford it. I feel like this was his choice not mine so why do I have to pay for it.
So sorry you are having a rough time. Doesn't it feel good to get it all off your chest?
My rant is about work. I am SO bored! I have nothing to do - even all of my filing is done. But I don't want to ask my boss if he can find something for me to do because I do not want to clean his office. argh. Wish I could find a new job.
