These last few days they have not been very helpful. I’m feeling stressed about things that don’t have anything to do with them but I know I haven’t been a barrel of monkeys this week.
I just want life back. Anyway the kids are doing their homework. When they are done I’ll get them on cleanup.
Can you send them to a relative for a weekend so you can get a little break?

Sunday they go to their dads for a week.

Just hang in there! Take a hot bath at night with calming mood music. It helps a lot

I know! I love my kids too, but it’s very challenging sometimes when they can be so oblivious to the messes that they make and the extra work they create just by existing. So come sunday when they leave, you’ll start to make headway on the mess, and you’ll sit down to relax and then it will hit you “I miss my kids”. That’s how it goes. You can’t live with them, and you damn sure can’t live without them.

You are right about missing them. Other than I can sleep in when they are at their dad’s place. They are 15 and 17 and really shouldn’t leave a mess behind. I’m just so not in a great space. I hate feeling like I’m not contributing myself.

Maybe I’ll watch baseball and soak my feet. I’m afraid of baths unfortunately.
