So lately I’ve been trying to write around themes and topics, mainly choosing from my list of drafts. But today, I’m down and I just feel like writing. I’ve just been so overwhelmed with everything lately. I’m alone at home taking care of the kid so somehow managing between school, work and a pseudo-day care. My mom’s away so I have no one to help out and there’s just so much to do. To top that, work has been crap. I’ve been leaving around 7 every evening which is horrible because I hardly have time to run through some school work and dinner. It’s still past her bed time by the time I can get her down and she struggles to wake up every morning. She’s been a good sport though, not complaining about anything even the quickly made meals or leftover pasta. Oh and did I mention, she’s having her term exams.
But today was exceptionally depressing. After all the work I’ve put in, the long hours, the foregone holidays, picking up other people’s slack… My boss still seems to think I’m not doing enough and I’m lacking somehow. This sucks. I don’t know what to think or make of it. May be I’m taking it too much to heart because I’m tired and overwhelmed otherwise. I don’t know. But I am a bit depressed today and I just want to feel down for a bit.
Easier said than done, but be strong. I’ve had days like this – many of them. But there’s a quote by Pastor Charles Swindoll that I always remember for times like this – “Life is 10% what happens to us, and 90% how we react to it.” It’s all comes down to how we deal with what life tosses at us. So don’t let it win!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I truly appreciate it. Sometimes it’s just comforting to know someone can relate. I will try to keep my head up and not let it get the best of me. 🙂

Some days truly suck. Knowing that there is always and end to the madness keeps my spirits lifted. Its been a couple of weeks – has anything changed with the work situation?

Things are better. Thanks. I’ve tried to keep my spirits up and not let it get the best of me. I’m trying to re-organize the way I work so that I can focus more and worry less.
