Too busy? hmm. Let's review my last (appx) 24 hours.
Tuesday night at 11p went to work
Got home at 7:30 am.
Asleep at 8am
"slept" until 12:15pm (woke up every hour looking at the clock afraid I might miss alarm)
Pulled on clothes, brushed hair. left to pick up girls.
1pm after retrieving girls from two separate schools started off on 1 hour drive to dermatologist.
2p-3:30 spent with Dr.
3:30-4:30 drove home.
4:30-5:15 dug through laundry looking for cheerleading clothes for C. and threw frozen wings and 1/2 bag tator tots in oven.
5:15 dropped C. off at school
came back home. yelled at husband to hurry andat 5:45 drove back to school for "meet the team" night
6p-7p meet the team
7p-8:30P drove to walmart and got supplies to make pink glittery/green sponge lettered element table "radium"
9p sat down, breathed and typed this up.
also washed one load of laundry today and managed to inhale a few bites of food. I am going on 4 hours of sleep and I have to return to work at 11p tonight.
Now, I know I ultimately choose to live this life but at times I feel like I am being pulled in thousands of different directions. Who has time to deal with money?
Right now, my house is a MESS and there is no way I have energy to do ANYTHING. The kids have washed their faces, applied their magic creams, taken their vitamins, done their homework and are almost asleep.
Tomorrow will be just as hectic. I have to get my hair cut at 2p. Drive E. to gymnastics, get home and then go to work AGAIN!
My life is the reason I need to get my debt under control because I cannot continue to work 32 hours per week and run around like this. I am so tired. I know millions of women do more than this every day but I must not be strong like them.
I am just so tired and frustrated. I love being a mom but I hate having to go to work all the time.
Thanks for letting me rant everyone! I might need some prayers to make it through Friday. Friday night I took VACATION so I will have a 3 day weekend! yay!
This is why I am broke?

Another thing, use 2 or 3 alarm clocks if you think you'll sleep through one. Also, set them in different areas in the room and sleep without worry. Your body cannot rest if it doesn't enter deep sleep and waking up every hour isn't helping.

Also, find a good multi-vitamin (one that deals with stress levels). I take Relacore - Stress Reliever and I am not a spokeswoman for it, it just helps me maintain my sanity. It is all natural, no doctor prescribed.
But, your health is the most important "anything" you can give yourself and your family. Maybe someone else can bring your girls home to you so you can have a couple extra hours.
