Allergic reaction, Sunny weather.
So my daughter woke up this morning with red, itchy bumps all over her. She’s allergic to her antibiotic so I had to get her seen. Good news is that the ear infection is gone but now she’s having...
It's finally Friday.
I’m just waiting to make some money. I’ve showered, eaten, and wearing a fresh set of clothes. I think I’m going to buy my kid a new cell phone. I’m probably going to run and do that. I’m hoping ...
I think he's gone.
So the guy I was seeing lived across from where I get my morning coffee. I’ve noticed that I never see his truck there anymore. I remember the other day as I was leaving the drive through, I happ...
Self employment.
Being a single Mom with no village and going years without getting CS or any help from the other parent really starts to mess with your head. I had to talk with a caseworker today about food stam...
Wednesday.
My daughter had another morning where she was asking to stay home. I reminded her again that she doesn’t have to go to the after school program and I told her that she doesn’t have to go to schoo...
Rent, money, tags.
Little is at school and I came home and made breakfast. McDonald’s doesn’t have my $1 coffee coupon anymore so I’m not going there until they have it again. I also like not spending money everyda...
Getting shit done.
I got my sink full of soap and water before I dropped my daughter off. I planned to come home and start doing stuff but then worked for an hour. I finally got home, made breakfast, took a shower ...
Monday morning, 6am.
I slept pretty decent. I’m going to wake my daughter up and start getting her ready for school. She was telling me last night that she misses her after school program. I’d kinda like to ask if sh...
Sunday!
We got some more work in this morning. I haven’t been keeping track of my hours but this morning we did 3. Last night we did about 4 and Friday we did almost 5 and that’s not counting the rest of...
It's going alright.
My daughter and I went yesterday from about 3 until almost 7. She did great in the car, as usual. It’s not too stressful bring her with and it’s definitely cheaper than paying my Mom to watch her...
Early Friday morning.
I have a couple of hours before the alarm goes off but I just can’t sleep. I’m wide awake. Again, I go to bed way too early and then I wake up and have nothing to do. I go back to sleep and then ...
Thursday.
I got my daughter to school and stopped for coffee and a sandwich. Every day she tells me how she doesn’t want to go to school. I’ve talked to her about telling her teacher when kids are mean and...
Car, money, life.
I am so glad to get new brakes but my car had a kink in the idle yesterday so that sparks a new concern. I’m hoping it was just a fluke because it is old and has a lot of miles. Just gives me som...
Fuck yesterday.
Yesterday was one of the those days to remind me that I’m still on my own and to remain humble. I spent $300 and got my brakes done. Yet again, no one helped. I had to pay someone to put them on....
It's Monday.
I got my daughter to school and got breakfast. I have since washed dishes and now I’m just sitting here. I need to pick up my medications today. I don’t have anything planned. My work is slow so ...
Money.
The weekend is going by really fast. I took my daughter with today and made some money. I also went to a friend’s house to ask if he’ll put brakes on my car. He said for me to call him on Tuesday...
It sucks.
So I hung out with that guy a few times. I blew off my friend that was here because his boyfriend was bound and determined to make things uncomfortable if we would have actually hung out. I’ve be...
Yeah, Okay.
My daughter has an ear infection but decided last minute to go to school. I’ve hung out with a dude the past couple of days and then this morning, I went over and hung out with him. He was just b...
Please God.
I’m definitely struggling with things. I don’t know how well my side hustle is going to work out and I’m diligently looking for some type of job. Again, I don’t have any help here so I doubt I wi...
V Day.
So I got my daughter to school. Ate my breakfast and had my iced caramel coffee from McDonald’s. I decided to do my side hustle. I went up until about an hour before I got my kid from school. I g...
I need new brakes.
My daughter and I ran errands this morning where I noticed my brakes are starting to grind. Not a huge issue but the sooner my brother puts new pads on the less expensive this is going to be. I’m...
I ended my employment.
It’s been a really emotional day and I’m beyond thankful that it’s getting to be bedtime. I just drug my ass out of my bed and home to get to work. I walked in planning to work and my boss walks ...
Still waiting.
I am still waiting for the word that I’m going back to my old job. My friend mentioned my worry about childcare but I also can’t worry about not making enough money to survive either. No matter w...
A different perspective.
I’ve been networking with people trying to find childcare at night and on weekends so I can go back to the type of job I did before. Working in the after school program isn’t my jam and I have to...
Quit smoking.
So it’s been 2 days now. I’ve put on patches both days to help with the withdraw. I’m doing alright. I still miss it and my emotions aren’t stable. I’m definitely having moments where I feel like...
Book Description
I’m really not into switching to another site but it looks like OD is going offline in the next few days. I downloaded my diary but it looks way different and doesn’t seem like all my entries are in it and that makes me very sad. I’ve gone through so much in the past 3 years and everything is documented on OD.
Anyway, I’m just exhausted from work and school. I love that I have so much going on and I am creating a better future for myself but getting enough sleep is always a task. I still have to take TYlenol PM every night or else I will be wide awake until I do. I am just so sick of it. I miss being able to go to sleep on my own. There’s just so much going on nowadays and I don’t want to spend all my free time at home sleeping.
I got most of my homework done and I feel pretty good about that. I’m glad that i’m in an easy math class this semester because that is my toughest subject. I love my computer class because it’s stuff that I already know how to do, I’ll just get better at it and learn a few things along the way.
So it looks like I’ll be going to court on the 21st for my small claim lawsuit against the place that fucked me over on my car. I talked to the mechanic today that worked on it and he said that he would go to court with me but I never believe they’ll actually do what they say until the time comes. I really hope he does because his statement is really important and I just don’t know who else is going to come with me.
I still don’t have much to do with my family. My Mom is probably the biggest bitch I’ve ever known and I just can’t stand trying to talk to her one the phone. I called her yesterday to let her know when the court date will be because I couldn’t hear her because they were in the car with the windows down because they were smoking and I tried to tell her I couldn’t hear her and she got all defensive so I hung up. I was just too fucking tired to deal with her attitude and how rude she is to me so I hung up and went about my day.
I decided that if they don’t give me any money when they get their taxes that I will be completely cutting them out of my life. I helped them with $1,300 in the month that I borrowed her car and gave it back with a full tank of gas so I do expect even $40 when they get their taxes. Her and my Dad both told me that they would give me some but I really doubt they actually will because they NEVER pay anyone back and that’s why no one helps them anymore but I almost lost my car and got my cable shut off from helping them and I just feel like if they don’t even attempt to pay me back then they didn’t appreciate me helping. I know that I need to cross them off regardless if they pay me back or not but if I don’t hear from them when they get their taxes, that will be the last fucking straw for me. My family has done nothing but use me and shit on me my entire life so I don’t expect much but it’s just sad how much they have fucked me over and the negative affect they’ve had on my life.
It’s been nice to be off today and yesterday, it’s been much needed. I just feel like I never get enough sleep and being sleep deprived all the time is really not good. I’m glad to have just been at home to hang out, sleep, take a hot bath and get most of my homework done. I hate feeling like I never get enough sleep and I feel like I walk around like a zombie most of the time. What made it worse was having to get up 3 days in a row and 2 of those days was dropping my car off to get some shit fixed. It’s nice to take my car to the mechanic and not have to deal with a bunch of drama to get it back. I don’t have to worry about anything and that alone makes me grateful to have a different car.
My ex is still on my mind quite a bit, more than what i want him to be. I just can’t understand why I can’t just forget about him and move on. I’m still stuck on why he treated me so badly and how he did everything he could to convince me that it was completely acceptable for us to never see each other and that if was fine for him to never include me in his life at all. I was just fighting a losing battle and wouldn’t let go of it. I know that it’s because I had no one else and loneliness was a huge factor but I will NEVER again let someone talk to me like he did. Just because he didn’t call me names like my ex John did, doesn’t mean he was any less abusive. He said some of the most awful things about not only me but people I loved and cared about. He got sick pleasure from knowing how much he brought me down. My friend at work said that I need to find happiness within myself and she’s right. I need to work on myself and figure out my feelings towards my past before I try to find another relationship because it wouldn’t be fair if I met someone now because they would suffer from how others have treated me and I’m not ready to be with someone. Yeah it would be nice to have someone to do shit with in my free time and I would love the company but I need to figure out myself first. My ex left behind a very confused, hurt, shattered person and I need to fix what he did to me, not by finding someone new but learning how to be comfortable within myself and focus on school and work and just doing me before trying to bring someone into my life.
