Overwhelmed

Lately I have just been exhausted. I feel so overwhelmed with everything, I have no energy and want to sleep. Yes I know it is called depression.But then again it may be that I don't get to sleep until around 2 a.m. and wake up at 5:30 a.m. I sometimes wonder if I made a mistake going back to school. It takes a lot of time, time I could be spending with my kids. I feel like I am neglecting them. I know I am neglecting my house, it is a mess. I am working A LOT, spending 40-45 hours a week working, then another 3-4 hours a day doing homework. Add Young Women's into this and YW Volleyball on Wed. nights I am spent. I love my church calling, I feel guilty I can't go to church on Sundays, I hate it, but it can't be helped. I am glad I can go on Tuesday nights and be with the YW. The girls are starting to warm up to me and it is fun.
This will all pass and I will continue with school. I just wonder if the job market and economy will ever get better. We need for Rich to find steady employment, goodness knows we look and look and put in tons of applications. Hopefully when spring breaks if he hasn't found a job the building will pick up again, if his back can handle it. I know we will get through this, we just have to remember there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just wish the tunnel wasn't so dang long sometimes.

You poor thing :-(
I knew you were stressed, and totally understand it.

Richard need to step up and get the house in order for you - and all the honey do's..

Yesterday Jason and Sharon were over and we were talking about honey do's. Brady and Jason didn't have a clue what a honey do was. Totally cracked me up - bad mothering to let them grow up and NOT know what honey do's are... It was funny - you might have needed to be there though, to look at their clueless looks while Sharon and I were talking.

I am glad you are liking Y/W - it's a huge job, but something to keep you out of depression - but it's winter and expected. Hopefully the sun will shine soon.

Love you guys! Didn't you love Vampire Diaries and Damon :-D even though it broke your heart.
