The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow . . . .
No need to read. Just needed to vent . . . .
Well, I've realized what's getting me down the last day or two. It's all this negativity and sadness that seems to be swirling around me lately. Nothing I can do about most of it, and it's hard to 'be there' for everyone all the time. I try, but it's starting to affect my sleep...as in I'm only getting about 3 or 4 hours at night. Lack of sleep is what's causing my headache, which won't go away even with Tylenol. *sigh*
One kid is being difficult, but she is stressed, too. Sometimes, I think she is her own worst enemy though. Her and two of her sisters are in a struggle for survival of the fittest against their dad and his demonic g/f. The fourth is avoiding it all like the plague, as she can't deal with it. My poor babies! It's hard being a mom sometimes . . . .
Got hit with a huge bill that a utility company 'lost' from February until now. This was my ex's bill, but now I'm stuck paying it. I've tried fighting it, but they are unsympathetic to the fact that this was 'his' responsibility and not mine. :( My dog has got me worried. She's losing weight (even though she's eating normally), and she's losing HUGE amounts of fur. I know she's old and her days could be over anytime now, but it's hard to see it happening. I hoping this is all a fluke. Two close friends of mine are battling serious health problems, which could be the end of them. So, I'm trying to help them out as much as I can, but it's taking a lot of my time and energy. If I didn't do this and something happened to either one of them - I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
I'm the one who's always upbeat and happy. Everyone turns to me for support. I'm sure once I have a good night's sleep, I'll feel better. However, the stress is keeping me from sleep, and lack of sleep is just adding to my inability to deal with the stressful things that need to be dealt with. What a vicious cycle! Perhaps my moon and stars aren't lined up or something. Sheesh!
