Just another day of my life.


Anxious, stressed out and tired!

I have been like this for the past few weeks, I have been so busy doing two jobs in one day and taking care of my family, this has been my routine every single day and it's taking its toll on me. I'm always short tempered and easily irritated.

I am not complaining though because I always have a choice and since I choose to do this so I think I can or maybe I should..lol, It is just, I am not used to having a very busy life that I find it hard to cope up with.

Balancing the act of being an employee forty hours a week and wok at home mom for twenty four hours a week as well as a mother and a wife twenty four seven is not easy. I must admit it is one tough act!
