There are days...
...that I really wonder. I know many, many women do it all the time, but still I wonder.
The past couple of weeks have just been a blur. The constant whirlwind of finding my 13-year-old son a trombone (who knew they cost a fortune!), my 16-year-old daughter taking her driving test, getting scheduled in high school, open houses, lists after lists of needs. And then today, I start back to classes. Suddenly, I need two books (each $100+ used) that I hadn't expected, the computer is crashing, the university's server goes down, my daughter misses the bus, we need groceries....
I sit here trying to relax before bed (I hope I actually sleep) thinking about going to school full time, trying to bring home full time pay to support us all on my own, and the low level of the current bank balance...the continue list of needs.
There really are days where you are not quite sure whether to laugh or cry.
