ErinD Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 We have had a run of frustrating things happen over the last month and I am feeling burned out. I really just need to vent! Here are only a few of the things: two dogs got skunked, a visiting child had headlice, the dishwasher died and flooded the kitchen and laundry room twice in two weeks, we got two huge bills we were not expecting which wiped out our emergency funds, I think I may have pneumonia again, and my car has begun dripping oil. We also have an extra child a lot lately - long story but her family situation is really not good and we are a safe place - and she is a lovely girl and we love her but she has some challenging behaviour issues including an inability to speak in less than a bellow. I realize that I am an incredibly lucky person and that we are a really lucky family - really, I do appreciate our good fortune - but each weekend when I have hoped to rest at least a little, I have spent each day and a lot of the weekday evenings after homeschool/out-of-home work doing endless extra loads of laundry from all the additional cleaning up of disasters. I am exhausted, I have to work every day this coming week including next Saturday, and I feel like I am ready to keel over, I'm so tired and sick. Ok, vent over. Thanks for letting me moan.

lauracolumbus Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I hope you are able to get some decent rest. I know that usually helps me face the mountain that I need to scale some weeks. And you have a mountain range in front of you. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutor Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 :grouphug: I'll be praying for you. I've been having quite a time as well and completely understand the need to vent. Vent away! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
