I'm Still Here Pt Deux

[~¤DG¤~]

Journaling----

I'm sick of the highs and lows of this. One day I am doing great and feeling positive about things, and the next day I am down in the dumps.

I was extremely stressed last night and snapped at both of my kids.
I felt badly afterwards and sat down with them and apologized to both of them and acknowledged that I overreacted.

I had forgotten how hard it is to be a single parent. Even though my kids aren't little anymore, I still face lots of challenges with trying to juggle schedules and bills and household things. I told them both that I appreciate everything they do to help me out, but if they could step it up a little bit it would really help.
I know they are just kids and I would never, ever make them be adults instead of kids, but I'm just one person and I get overwhelmed at times.

I am blessed- I have great kids. There isn't discipline problems or behavior problems or anything like that and I am grateful for that.

I'm just one person.

I hope I don't spend the rest of my life alone.
