sucked the life right out of me
Both kids are in after school sports, which means right after work
I'm on the freeway going one way or the other because they go to
2 different schools. At my job I'm supposed to get off at 3 pm but
I never know if I will have to work overtime or not.
By the time I get home it's close to 6PM and there always seems
to be something happening. If theres not a school function like a
play or band concert then there's a teachers conference or a sports
game.
I share the kids with there mom but she decided to move 30 min
away from the closest ones school and when it's all said and done
I average almost 25,000 miles a year on my car. To top it all off I
get up at 4am even thou I don't start work until 6:30 because I'ts
the only time of the day I seem to be able to get things done.
One thing that is good it the twins are almost 14 and they can do
a lot of things for themselves I just need to remember to ask. They
both work hard in school and they're respectful to both me and their
mom. My oldest daughter was like this too and she sacrificed a lot
because the twins were a handful when they were younger
Finding time for myself seems to be my biggest challenge. Even when
their not with me I'm usually running around trying to get things ready
for the next day or I'm at a meeting of some sort. I have my cell phone
programmed to alert me ahead of time because I can't remember a damn
thing anymore. It's helpful the kids get along with each other at least
I don't spend a lot of time breaking up fights.
I used to be able to post more but now a days I'm lucky if I can be
on the computer for more than 15 minutes at any one time. I'm so damn
tried right now and I don't know if any of this makes sense so I think
I'll just go to bed and dream of getting more then 5 hours of sleep
