Seriously overwhelmed

I know Cole is at the age where his tantrums, boundary testing, and general naughtiness is normal. I know that. But it is so impossibly hard to deal with him 24 hours a day. I never get a break. Then when you add in medical problems (and corresponding debt!), cars breaking down and needing expensive repairs, the dishwasher breaking and needing replacing, and our savings account being completely wiped out, the stress is seriously going to kill me. My house is a disaster, and I plain and simply can't function well when it is this gross, the clutter is causing me major anxiety, and the fact that I'm not prepared for any of our summer vacations is starting to send me into panic mode. I am *this close* to tears because I am just so frustrated with everything lately. Why is it that when we're trying to do the right thing, pay our bills, save money, get out of debt, live simply, nothing can go right? Yet when we didn't budget properly, weren't saving money, and were in general irresponsible with our money, nothing went wrong! I'm honestly looking forward to the yard sale this weekend even though it'll be a lot of work, just to get a break from Cole, have some adult interaction, and not be sitting in my filthy, falling down around me home. I desperately need the distraction from everything.

  1. You're not alone. I desperately need a maid. Or an assistant. Or SOMETHING!
