Seeking Sympathy
The summer semester is drawing to a close and will be over August 1st, but I still have so much work to do! Here I thought this would be a laid back kind of summer, with only 2 classes to take, and one of them is online! Boy, was I wrong! Then, we have had ear,nose & throat appointments, orthodontist appointments, vet appointments, you name it, we've been there, done that! I am EXHAUSTED!!!!! The things I thought for sure I would have time for this summer, like my Bible study, scrapbooking, yard sales, etc. are just a twinkle in my eye, and almost a distant memory. If I could just have one day where I felt good, I had a good night's sleep, and I could concentrate on the work at hand, I think I could perform miracles! And the Lord only knows how women with more than 1 child manage, but if I had more than Konnor to manage I think I would pull my hair out! I love him, but he wants to be entertained 24/7. I have explained to him that Mom has things she needs to do, but that lasts for all of about 5 minutes. As soon as I get him occupied with something, other than making noise and reading over my shoulder at the computer, and finally sit down to work, the dogs start barking, someone is at the door, the phone rings, I have to make dinner or we will all starve, and Oh! I forgot to buy milk at the store...

I totally sympathize, trust me! When I was with my "baby daddy" I had to do 95% of EVERYTHING, by myself - take care of Noah, the house (cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.), taking Noah to AND from school, homework, shopping, EVERYTHING! Now, being a "single" parent (I only have Noah 3-4 night a week) it's a load off me! But living back at home again with my mom makes it even easier... I feel so lucky now! (Especially since I have sweet ole Bernie!) Word of advice - even though you have so much to do and you have a son to take care of - MOM really does need some time to herself, call it a mental health day. Even if it's just a couple of hours, it makes all the difference in the world - for at least about a week or so1 LOL! I used to never get time to myself and it took its toll on me, a bad case of depression. You don't want to go there, ain't NO fun! Take care and "visit" with yourself!
