I'm Tired

Of what you ask?

1. Being taken advantage of. I am feeling that every time I turn around, someone is wanting me to do something for them. If I stand up and say, "No", then I am berated for not helping them.

2. Being made to feel like I am a bad mother. I was recently told my mom that my 3rd and 4th children are horrible. Not on schedules and run me, not the other way around. That my first two children were great at this age.

3. Of being depressed.

4. Of feeling alone. I spend a great deal of time at home with just two little kids. I try to run a home-based sewing business too.

5. Not being taken as an adult by my parents. I think 35, six kids and a master's degree qualifies. It's more than they have anyway.

6. Being talked down to.

7. Not having my BFF close to me. Hell, having a friend around that doesn't seem to be in competition with me.

8. Not being able to talk freely about what I believe in.

9. Living where I do because of the dreams that I have for my future.

10. This economy. It sucks. It isn't going to get better with the current administration either.

I will elaborate on most of this later. I got a sleepy nursing boy, noodles boiling on the stove in the kitchen and a 3 year old running amuck...
