Life is finally feeling like it is slowing down, and I am getting out of my funk. I have been depressed for the last few weeks. My husband has been working late or out of town for the last few weeks, so the kids and I haven't seen him and I have been acting like a single mom (Just a note to all you single moms and dads out there - you are amazing! It is a lot of work for one person!). In addition to all of my single mom duties, work has been overwhelming. Luckily for me, someone in another department was looking for a development opportunity so I snatched her up, and am having her help me. I'm not sure who is more grateful, her for the opportunity, or me for her wanting it. In addition to the relief at work, I am coming off of a really nice weekend with my family. I was able to have a conversation with my husband, something that doesn't seem like it has happened for awhile and I was able to spend some quality alone time with each of my sons (#1 Son is 3 and #2 Son is 9 months). Although tonight I felt compelled to turn on the computer to do a bit of work, I am in a good place. I have a sense of calm and after the last few weeks of ending the night tired and frustrated it is a nice change. So I am celebrating the small things. Yeah Me! Hopefully I can keep myself in this state of mind.


Oh hun- I feel your frustration! I'm glad that your evening was calm. I completely understand the overwhelming: "I'm all alone doing EVERYTHING" feeling. I applaud every single-mom because I don't know how I would keep sane! My husband has been pulling the long-hours lately and that leaves me to pull the weight of everything else all day with little to no relief. I can only imagine the stress I'd be under if I worked full-time too!
