January 5th

***

I woke up with a start & ran straight to the bill drawer.

Before 7am, I had a to-do list that was two pages long.

Clients to call, bills to pay, a visit to my lawyer, the bank,

 Two bedrooms to finish unpacking & organizing, laundry, a birthday party to plan.

After I picked up the kids from school, there was a little meltdown.

This single parenting gig is damn hard sometimes. 

Go to work, pay the bills, clean the house, make the food, 

take care of the kids and all their activities & school work.

And on..and on..and on.. collapse in a heap to sleep. repeat.

*sigh*

I'm exhausted.

I found this inspiring tonight...
Every Warrior of the Light has felt afraid of going into battle. ”
Every Warrior of the Light has, at some time in the past, lied or betrayed someone. 
Every Warrior of the Light has trodden a path that was not his. 
Every Warrior of the Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons.
Every Warrior of the Light has, at least once, believed he was not a Warrior of the Light. 
Every Warrior of the Light has failed in his spiritual duties.
Every Warrior of the Light has said 'yes' when he wanted to say 'no.'
Every Warrior of the Light has hurt someone he loved.
That is why he is a Warrior of the Light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is.
~ Paulo Coelho
