Chrissy in CT's blog: "A new week...."

Thank the Lord...lol Anyone who has been following my ongoing saga of life knows I have had a roller coaster week both emotionally and physically. The stress of an illness requiring not one but two surgeries in the past 6 mos couple with running out of sick time and the incessant problem solving caused me to have a major meltdown the other day which i shared here. The end of the week came out much better with some issues resolved and a little breathing space. I just want everyone to know how much your well wishes, prayers and just general concern mean to me. I wanted to say something special in part to the rest of the single parents. We are up at 2 am pacing the floor, problem solving and worrying. Trying to make ends meet with not enough to do it. Dealing with anxiety from overwork, not enough pay and a government that has forgotten this minority that is a majority growing steadily everyday. There is little or no help for the working single parent. Unless you throw in the towel and head for the welfare line, your plight is to be up at 2 am trying to juggle bills, fend of the collectors and on top of it now ....Christmas. What is it that keeps us going....our kids! The tears are for 2 am cuz in the morning we gotta get up and smile and show them the strong brave person that we are inside. For every smile, every laugh, every good grade, every lesson learned we are duly rewarded daily by our children for our hard work. Sometimes we dont think they understand. But believe me they do. They also see you hurt and worry no matter how hard or good you are at trying to hide it. They are our life and worth every minute of our worrying and tears. God gave me my son and what a precious gift he is. Its all worth it...just to see him smile. Things are hard most of the time..lol. But it will get better sooner or later...only to have another crisis to over come. Im always here to talk to anyone who needs me. I just wanted you to know that you all mean so much to me and I love you very much....
