Thank you Joseph that means a lot to me. I have been wanting to post for support. I have been really focused on work - it’s going well and i have increased my hours - managing but i am finding everything altogether stressful and a lot to deal with.
Holiday prep is going well all things considered and i have kept it very simple and thrifty. I have a nativity and some lights up so far and my kids and i are going to cut down a tree. I’ve got lots of good food and will be with friends and family.
I have emphasized to my kids that they are my priority this season above my extended family (though we are also getting together with my family).
