“You can not solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” -Albert Einstein.
Words that never rang to be so truer before. I can’t change anything about my life that’s negative, if I don’t change my way of thinking.
My mind needs some rearranging in order to get my shit together. I want to turn a new leaf, be more responsible. I am in a good place with the separation. It has to happen, and I understand that. I’m even okay with that. But with me becoming a single mom, I need to focus my attention on to things that matter. I need to be the parent who has shit together.. Not the parent who doesn’t realize that her kid ran off to pre-school with two right shoes.
I’m excited for this next chapter. I’m also dreading it! Even with a cna job (most money I’ll have made at any one job), I’m looking at a cheap ass apartment. I can’t afford much more than 400-500$ a month to meet their requirements of making at least triple the rent. Plus with gas to either drive kids 15+ miles a day to get to school so they can stay in this school district, or drive 15+ miles a day to get to work in the next town over.. My money is getting spent fast. Ew.
Got off track, but I’m really making the effort to try and be more positive.
I finally got called out for the ALS challenge. Was really hoping that didn’t happen. Since the ice bucket challenge started, I have done my research some. At first I found the videos clouding my news feed annoying.. Now I see that every time those videos get seen, awareness has been brought to the cause. What a frightening disease that must be! I, of course, couldn’t even imagine! And so few people are diagnosed that pharmaceutical companies won’t take interest. I absolutely love that they have raised up to 53 million dollars. I so, so, so support the cause! I’m declining the ALS ice bucket challenge, though. I cannot do it.. I will donate though! In payment plans of 4 installments lol. But hey, I’ll do it. I stand by my word.. I’m not dumping ice cold water on my head though.. Just no.
