seriously?
I have come to the startling realization that being a single mom at 20 was the easiest time in my life! I am sure that doesn't sound right, but it is so true. I only had to get along with my son (very easy) and I made lots of money (for a 20 year old), had I been wiser with said money, I think I may have fared well, as it was, I didn't do too poorly. The only trouble I had was dating, and I like being alone, so that wasn't so bad. I had troubles then, but they were all emotional baggage issues. Now, they are mostly gone. Now I have more responsibility, work, stress, and noise in my life than I ever thought possible. Any moment there are 4 things to do and 3 people talking to me and at least one item being added to the "to do" list. This is insanity. I am looking around right now and wondering how on earth I will get all of these "toys" and such put away again, and how, in the course of said task, I will maintain friendly relations with my husband, while still feeding and tending the babies and schooling the bigger boy. Thankfully, said husband is a champ at helping when the workload overflows. But, seriously, how can I have so much going on at one time and not be earning overtime. I've never worked so hard for so long; and I will be so glad to sit in a classroom and think of nothing but math that the wait for said "break" is killing me. When did Algebra become relaxation?!
