While your viewing my blog....

I wish that viewers feel welcome and get a little insight of who I am. I must say that I am a very independant single mother that cherishes every moment that I have to spend with the angels in my life. They are my one and only reason for living without them I would not know who I am or my purpose in life. I will share some pictures of me and my angels for the purpose of class and so that my peers can see me and my angels.

This is my picture that gives me peace

juggling working, school and being a single parent

I am a single parent and full time worker and full time student. At times juggling all these things I get to the point where I simply want me time. Is there anyone out there dealing with the same situation or similar with some insight on how they are dealing with the situation? I must say that I truly enjoy being a parent. My kids keep me grounded and motivated to keep going from day to day but it is still an ongoing struggle.

  1. Juggling full-time work, full-time school, child care is very difficult at times. I have a 16 year old who is very out of control and has been for the past year. He has gotten into extreme trouble and wound up dropping out of school. He disappears for days and just shows up to shower, eat, and leaves again. I had just gone through a divorce from a 16 year abusive marriage and it has been extremely trying on my heart and mind. I sympathize with your struggle but if you maintain a disciplined attitude and keep some hope for positiveness, good things will come. Hang in there.

  2. Well i have a similar lifestyle but i just dont have a child. yet. im atually waiting to find out next week. But i attend two colleges and i work two jobs and i know what you mean about that ME time. But what i do to not feel stressed is just go ahead and take that ME time. whenever you know you aer going to have 30 min free time, or an hour free time, just go take a walk or go get an ice cream cone and sit and enjoy the clouds while you can. dont rush through everything because no matter what its still going to be there no matter how fast you get to it. But good luc on everyhing and i hope it gets better.

  3. Hi thanks for your comment on my blog and I do agree that we are in the same boat . It's just very hard to be a single parent with children going to school and work. It gets exhausting some time and frustrating. I hope that we can help each other too!!You sound like a very nice and sweet person too. Take care and may god bless you and your family.
