A lot is happening actually. I started a business with a friend. We share similar values and goals so we’re starting a thing together....not sure exactly where this is going yet but we are taking one step at a time to fine tune our business model. It is exciting, and we made our first sale recently. My friend is driven and has lots of ideas. I’m more laid back so I do feel this pressure of keeping up my pace. But it’s a good kind of pressure. I think I just need to get used to it.....I’ve been a sahm for too long that it feels extremely strange to put that much focus on my own thing instead of my children.

I am struggling a bit balancing it all, managing the children’s academic and psychological needs...the everyday mundane tasks of keeping the family running... my side job...my new business with my friend.....my workout... (recently I’m starting to learn aerial yoga), I feel absolutely burn out at the end of the day everyday. So honestly I have very little time to even think about H.

Sometimes I do feel lonely. I miss having a best friend to hang out with and share my day with after a long day. But I know this is probably going to be my life for the next 2-3 years. Even if we D, I wouldn’t even have the time and energy to date someone else.

I am falling asleep as I am typing this also.....It was a long day!
