And so with all of that on your plate, you decide to buy a bottle of wine. And you know you are going to need at least two....so you can kick back and forget....for a few minutes, maybe a few hours.
And then there is tomorrow....Monday with a god-awful hangover, uni work more behind, the kids sound like they are banging everything in the house and your head is going to explode, and you still have to organise a presentation for work.
So what started out as you feeling really overwhelmed because you are an awesome mum and worker and you are trying to better yourself and make yours and the boys futures the very best they can be, has now turned into hell.
At this stage I would be calling in sick and curling up on the bed in a ball crying.
I think a lot of us take on too much because, at least in part, we want to make up for all of the time when we were not living life in a way that made us proud.
But we need to pace ourselves....look at where we can ask for help and ask for it!!! Is there someone who can run the kids somewhere for you? Will your professor give you an extension as you have had so much on your plate? Can your mum cook you up some meals to put in the freezer so dinner is done for a few days?
Just (a lot of) my thoughts.
Love you dearest Nic. ♥

I need to work on my time management skills. I’ve bought a really fancy (and very pretty) diary and I’ve pencilled in my study times, I just find it hard to manage all the other things. I think tiredness is playing a role in my anxiety so I’m going to start there..
love you too beautiful Suze xx
Here she is, gorgeous one, and very pleased with herself she is. I have made a spreadsheet and listed my expenses and worked out some figures, not all.
I learned that my ego will do everything it can to avoid doing stuff it’s afraid of and when I ignore it and face that fear a lovely feeling of empowerment comes.
I love my friends here on 24. You’re helping me stay sober ODAAT
