dude this has been one hell of a past two weeks. between everyone getting sick , having to euthanize our dog who is like a son to my mom, to my mom being admitted to icu , and taking on the responsibility for two teens on top of my little one . my mom's outta the hospital but it's been tense now for everyone bc everything sets someone off here, especially my mom. it sucks but I'm trying to keep a normal environment for my little one. yes they respectfully don't expose my kid to their spats but at the same time I'm the one that has to calm everyone down. oh and I just got news that my brother is outta rehab and is now possibly also staying here which means one more responsibility bc ill have to keep an eye on him. I'm like fffuuuuccckkkk... anybody good at giving legal advice ? lol nothing major . just trying to help out a friend. I hope everyone had a great day and a good view of the eclipse. didn't get to see a whole lot in person except a little bit but seen the rest on TV. lol Dancin' in the rain that put our fire out
Wonderin' if it's ever gonna spark again
Wonderin' if you'll ever try that hard for me
If away from me is where you belong
And the feeling that you're after
Doesn't stay when you're gone, let me know
Where'd I go wrong and can't you see?
we'll just stand here spinning the truth around . blue October.. trying to clean while ur kid goes behind u and wrecks it is insane lmao I've cleaned the same spot 6 times already 😅 when I became a mother , everything changed. I waited anxiously for things to settle and go back to normal. the normal that I was used to. over time , I realized it never would. what used to be my normal had changed as I changed with it without realizing it. my expectations changed as did my priorities . my capacity to do things I used to had changed right along with my identity. my whole world and existence was new and different. motherhood asks u to release all that u know in order to become something more. u are asked to let go of everything in order to find a new path while u search for a new version of yourself. it's about rediscovering a new world. overtime I've come to realize alot and even though it's not how I envisioned raising my kid , I wouldn't want it any other way. that little girl holds my soul and heart in her and she doesn't even know. where are all the jobs for single Moms ? like how hard is it to understand yeah I got a kid but that doesn't mean I cant work so I can try to provide a place for us. like i need the work to get us started out . it frigging sucks bc im busting my ass off to try to land us a place of our own and between inflation on housing and the lack of jobs in my area makes it hard to even just land a 1 br and still provide for a kid on top of paying lights and etc seems impossible especially if ur a single mom. yeah here isn't where I wanna try to make things work but everything my daughter knows and loves is right here so yeah I gotta find a way to be able to provide a place while not taking everything she knows away from her . most of the stay at home jobs which would be perfect to do, doesn't allow kids during calls or video meetings so there goes that option bc my kid requires my attention 24/7 bc there's no one else to help with her while I work up to even 5 hrs. sigh just getting things started out for us is what's s it's been a rough past couple of weeks . I keep wondering when it's gonna get easier but I have a feeling I'm gonna have to just try to flow through things for awhile . my daughter is now almost 10 months old and it's been a journey between learning what it is to be a parent and learning how to be a single mom . I see her smile and it reminds me of why I have to keep going . I have to for her. I'm all she's got . as I see her personality start to appear, I'm amazed each day but I quickly realize how fast she's growing. been feeling pretty low lately I never knew trying to find a house/apt. would be this hard.. it's looking like just for one bedroom and 1 bath it's gonna cost 800 or more . wtf. I'm just looking for a simple place for me and my daughter and yet these prices are insane when you know your supposed to be sleeping when your kid does but you finally have some time to yourself and you try to decide of you want to use that time for yourself so you can tske a breath and relax or if you want to go to sleep because your exhausted... hmm I haven't decided lol parenting advice : my kid seems to more grumpy than usual. for the past 5 days it's been a rough ride. seems like possibly cutting teeth again but how ? we already started getting the two bottom teeth in at the same time but I thought we were past that. I don't feel anymore coming in but it seems like we're starting onto the two top two maybe ? it's insane if that's the case. in two days, it will be the five month mark for us and I thought we wouldn't be dealing with anymore teething for awhile bc the bottom two started coming in at 3 months and 3 weeks but I guess I shouldn't be surprised if we're early on the rest lol the new series maid really has touched home. even more so now that I have a daughter. I marvel at how much has changed in the past 9 months especially the last 4 months going on 5 . it's been truly a life changing experience . I've had some pretty amazing and beautiful moments right along with some really hard times but i look at my little one and i fall in love every single time . everything is worth it bc i get to look into those beautiful eyes and hold those little hands. my whole world Is this tiny little being and it blows my mind . lately i criticize myself alot but i realize I've done pretty dang good considering how everything has been and the fact I've done it by myself . I wanna give a shout out to all the single parents out there! I hope everyone is having a good night any suggestions on music ? |
