When I read your post I felt like I was channeling my mother- the queen of clichés- what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, we are only given as much as we can handle. It always irked me when I was lamenting the "horrible hand" I was being dealt but you know what? She was right.
Even a year ago things like you mentioned would have me in a tailspin. I had lost control of my life and desperately needed to control the little stuff. Now my dryer isn't working right -oh well I have a hack for that till I have more money. Same thing with the starter on my car.
please don't think I am trivializing any of your challenges. I am not. But keep the important stuff at the forefront (you and kids ) and the rest will work itself out
...and the sun will come up tomorrow (haha)
