Hi,
I am new. I am so tired today. Just can't seem to get going. I found out yesterday that I am going to have to work a lot of hours starting next month as we will be short staffed until April. I have a lot of trouble with feeling sad or just down in the dumps and knowing I will not be home to eat dinner with my family 5 nights a week for 3 months is not helping. Plus my youngest's grades have slipped and I have been carefully monitoring them. No idea how I will find the time or energy. I dreamed all night about it and am just exhausted and feeling overwhelmed.

I know...there is never enough time in our days it seems! Is it possible to get help from a family member or a trusted friend?

A burden is lighter whenever carried by 2 or more people

It seems like when i speak of God this group administration delete every message. God is watching and i know he will deal with them himself.

I hope your job find a way to not go that route. Family time is so important. Its not easy trying to manage everything but it will get better. Its just for a moment. Remember that nothing lasts forever.

When it comes to school work for the kids. If im extremely busy and its something such as working a math problem out i will often go to youtube and find a easy way to work it out from someone who explains it well then let my kid watch it over and over. I also download apps for my child under 8 to interact with.

Hope the info helps you.
:)
