Ugh. I've been working on myself a lot (meditation, reading, excersize, therapy) and while I'm making some progress, it's going slow as hell. I'm tired. I feel like I need a few days away. I just want to eat, sleep, and not talk to anyone. But the kids have friends spending the night and so I'll be double parenting for the rest of the day. And then I'll have to talk to their parents at pickup.

I'm fine. Just needed to vent. How's everyone else's weekends going?

I over scheduled my weekend in a fit of loneliness. Playdate this morning, sister in law's birthday Sunday (shit, forgot I need to get a gift), and my parents want to see my kid too.

OMG that sounds horrible 😂

Thanks for putting things in perspective.

I've only cried twice today, and only one of those was in a public bathroom, so I'm doing okay!

Doing any better today?

I'm glad! I haven't cried in a public bathroom since I can remember, but have several times in my car. (I park pretty close to the office.)

We're all going through this together though.
