Tell Me I'm Not Alone

Balancing life is so hard.

I hate how easy some Moms make it look to be a working Mom.

I've been working full-time for a little over a year now and it's not getting any easier.

Oh, and I'm a part-time college student.

I've missed so much work over the past two weeks due to children's doctor appointments, busting my nose, my car not starting yesterday, and now Brian coming down with pneumonia.

I am on the brink of tears all the time and having a leak from our bathroom down to our pantry/laundry room this morning just isn't helping matters.

I always put the boys first but I can't help but feel guilty cancelling OT appointments with my "other kids".  As a parent, I know how important it is to have structure and routine and reliability.

There's not enough time, not enough of me, not enough sleep for me to just to be able to breathe.

Maybe next week will bring better luck.  I seem to do okay when it's just the typical day-to-day stressors.

Please tell me I'm not alone.  How do you all balance it all?
