I have overwhelmed myself once again but not shot down.

Years ago I enrolled in 5 classes in college while working full time and taking care of two daughters under the age 16 as a single mom. Of course, something had to give and it was school. I couldn’t get rid of the kids. They were the whole point I was doing all that work. Couldn’t get a part-time job because then I’d lose my apartment.

This time, I’m just overwhelmed without the stress of losing my home or my kids. The kids are taking away so much time that I can barely do anything else. These ones are much younger, this time around – 3 and 2. The greatest and the worst together.

There are so many things I’d like to do every day like finish my Udacity course online, studying to be a web developer. Write. Read. Clean more. Organize my home (yes, Marie-Kondo my walk-in closet already!).

I’ve tried sleeping less and it’s kinda working. I think sleep is going to have to give this time around.
