After the way things have been going lately, I needed to take a mental health day...and since it's crucial for me to be at work this week, I decided to skip class. We are allowed 2 "free pass" misses, so now I have one left. And I feel so much better!
And believe me, after the past couple of days I have had, I don't know if I would have lasted much longer. My dad and brother have really been working my nerves. Plus, dealing with two kids as a single mom isn't the easiest of jobs. On top of that I have Michael bothering me. Now add to that equation, his daughter! She called me late last night asking why I haven't called her back. First of all, I have no ties to you and we didn't get that close when Michael and I were together.
So I didn't get much sleep Sunday because Eli was up until 12/12:30. He started at bedtime complaining that his ear hurt, and it looked fine to me--wasn't pink or anything--and I chalked it up to attention-seeking. The next morning, it was a little better he said, but I figured since I brought it up, he remembered.
I ended up having to take him to the doctor's because now he has a lot of gunky stuff in his ear. She wasn't sure if it was just draining something or an ear infection. So now, my medicine hater, has to take amoxocillin, ear drops (they're just lovely) and Tylenol for pain. And we haven't gotten to bath time yet, but he has to wear ear plugs to keep the water from getting in.
So today I slept in a little and that was a bad move! Because I had to get the kids ready in a rush...and give Eli his medicine, I didn't get breakfast and my coffee--which I needed desperately--sat on the table as we left. :( There is a woman at work that has been a bug up my--fill in the blank--lately and I just knew she was going to call. She did...and stopped by. WHY ME, LORD??? Oh, did I just say that out loud? (Use your imagination, people!)
After she stopped by, guess who else stopped by. Why should the fun stop there? MICHAEL WHY??? Lord, really, why do You torture me so? He stopped by to see what was going on between me and Kisha (his daughter). Who cares?! It's no concern of yours...I have no time to schedule playdates when I have 2 jobs, 2 kids, 2 classes, 2 exes to deal with--do we see a theme here? Creepy, huh? :)
So I've come to the decision to drop something. Kids aren't an option, the classes aren't either--financial aid is paying and I can't afford to pay it back, and the exes come with the kids...so the job I do a few hours a week is being dropped. I've been thinking that for a while, and before I talk to them I'm going to wait until the week is out and pray about it.
Like I said, I took some time out for me today and things went so much better for me. I can actually breathe easy.
Well, I have some CDs to make for a friend. Take care everyone! (Like anyone really reads this thing! Thanks Vickie!!!)

Oh hunny massive (((hugs))) for you! And good for you taking a day off, if you don't slow down once in a while your body (or your mind) will just stop altogether!
Sorry Eli isn't well, sounds gross! Poor little mite.
How old is Michaels daughter? Old enough to understand thta you're not with her dad any more (or even better - babysit lol)
I'll keep you in my prayers and hope that you can manage to leave the p/t job and find yourself some "me time" - if anyone deserves it you do! Take good care hunny XxX
