Working Moms

feeling frazzled!!!

Working full time as a substance abuse counselor + part time in a private therapy practice + raising a toddler + financial struggles = one heckuva burned out momma!

 Any other full time caretakers burning out? What's your secret to recharging your own batteries?

Re: feeling frazzled!!!

  • Great suggestions. We've just had a series of unfortunate events (house got burglarized, company my husband worked for went out of business, house flooded in hurricane Sandy) and the place I am working full time does not pay well, nor do they give raises for any reason (people have been there for up to 10 years with no increase). DH got a pt job with potential for full time hopefully in the next few months. We aren't big spenders but I am sure we could cut back even more. Thanks for the ideas.

  • I am right there with you.  I have so much on my plate, I could cry daily if I really thought about it too long.

    I have a an almost 5 year old, almost 1.5 year old, started a new job in December that's operating in "start up mode", DH owns his own business which has crazy problems randomly, our condo listed for sale 2 weeks ago and money is always tight.  Sigh.  ((HUGS))

    I try to unwind every night after the kids go to bed:  DH and I veg out and watch TV, I read my magazines, crochet, whatever.   I am also lucky in that my company has an onsite gym so I try to workout 3x/week as well.   Just try to do a little something for you every day, even if it's 30 minutes every other day to unwind and refocus on the good.

    Oh, and I play the Lottery religiously, LOL!
