Hey, I appreciate the offer, but I need *some* time off, ya know?
Heather, glad to see the list. If you can name it, you can go get it.
Now go get it!

Anyone ever seen the scene in the movie Tangled where Rapunzel is finally out of the tower. She cycles between absolute despair to utter joy?? Kinda where I'm at. I move from these moments of pure bliss where I can see a life ahead that is MY creation and MINE ONLY. Then...
Feeling moments of absolute terror. I know I am at the end of my rope with this job and D12 is at the end of her rope with it too.
Still no d. papers. REALLY want them here, signed and mailed. Urge to reach out to Matt is waning. My life is feeling my own again...but, the parts of financial insecurity and history of financial failures creeps in and scares the bejeezus outta me.
My ADD women's group is really helping. It's sooooo good to see I'm not the only one with significant problems when it comes to organization.
D21 is back in school. Quit a victory!! My mom and stepdad helped and I'm eternally grateful. Her budget still doesn't add up. She needs money for food! But, she went to class and she is happy. She has a safe car to drive.
I have some pressing financial issues to face. But, I'm going to continue moving forward. Keep moving forward. Feel God pushing me ahead to a place where I'm earning enough to make a nice life for us, along with a job which doesn't drain the life outta me.

Sorry I am such a putz here. You've got some great advice from Job and Ellie.
It's good that D21 is back in school and hopefully she'll learn some things that makes her realize that the Universe doesn't revolve around her. Hope she gets a job somewhere on campus or off-campus. Many college students do wait tables to pay the bills. It's a time honored tradition.
I am glad to read that you feel you're benefiting from the ADD women's support group.
Chin up. Keep your eye on the goals for yourself and work at it.
