Well this is my feeble attempt at putting it all down, for me and the rest of the world to see. I have read enough blogs, so I thought maybe it just might help me navigate through the days.
I am currently a full time working (telecommuter) of 2 yr old twin boys. Their birthday was last month, and it kind of came and went. Nothing really special was done as their dad, my husband, is an over the road trucker. He just started this career a few months ago, before that he worked in retail for almost 25 yrs. I think we are both struggling with this new lifestyle. He is gone for up to 3 wks at a time and then only home for a few days. I think I average it out to be 4-6 days a month. The rest is on me. I feel really bad that nothing was done for their day. We have no family here, as we are both from other areas. He the upper west coast, me the upper east coast. Could we be any further apart...
The boys just started daycare a couple of weeks ago, we had in home care up until then. We have been on the waiting list for a year and half, so when they called, we certainly could not say no.
And I just found out this week, that I am losing my job. A job I have had for close to 10 yrs now, and have been working from home for most of that time. I make excellent money for someone who has never been to college, pretty much self taught. It really sucks as I am the major breadwinner right now, and without my salary times are sure to be rough. I still have a few months, the schedule exit dates are 12/12-12/26... Merry Flippin Christmas to me!
So with all that going on, and I am trying to take care of this house and our huge yard, and the dog and 2 kids, and myself.... damn I am tired just reading it. I have had to have a little intervention therapy of sorts. By the time the weekend comes, I am just so strung out that all I do is tell the boys no..no..no... There is entirely too much yelling coming out of me. Mind you I was not raised by yellers, the complete opposite, but that is a post for another day. So I stepped up as the responsible parent I am, and asked for some Parent/Child therapy so that I can actually learn how to be a good communicative parent. Something I was never taught.
As well as that, I decided to start seeing a Life Coach, on the advice of my head dr. That is always comforting when your shrink refers you to someone. But we have met a few times and I think it will be a good adventure for me. We are.. ok I am... struggling with the actions she has given me. We are working on meditation... you know... alone in your head with your own thoughts.... probably not the best thing for me. So I am finding it extremely challenging, and I know it takes time, but I am probably the most impatient person of all time. One reason I was thrilled to have twins, didn't want to have to wait for another one. Ok not like I really had a choice, being of "advanced maternal age" and all...
Well I guess that is best intro I can do for now, I am sure lots of things will come out over time. No need to post them all here at once.. I would bore you to tears!
