Every other Sunday I feel the guilt of being relieved that he is going back with his mom. ... It seems like all I do is clean my house, do laundry, pay bills. It seems like there is no time for anything else in life. It feels like I am so fricken old. I hate this feeling.
hon, I work full time and I come home at 6'ish, somedays, after 2hrs of being with the kids I eye the clock and hope it is bedtime :P It is draining, parenting alone is hard (my s10 is punished double this week with no dessert nor wii). No need to feel guilty, you are just a human being doing the job that was meant to be done by two people. This is relatively new ground for you and you will get your groove back...but what with the D and all your energy has been depleted pretty fast. We'll find our balance and patience (parenting alone) because it can and has been done, we are green horns for now.
"me"time is crucial, in it one recharges the batteries, we remember that we also like to *gasp* do stuff that doens't have to do with bills/cleaning/upkeep of the living quarters.
Be not afraid...I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten Joel2
