I've been distant recently due to returning back to work, and not to mention prior to that I have had to juggle two kiddos a husband, and a house.  Its not easy, its not fun.  I love my children more than anything in the world; my husband is a passing fancy whom I adore and couldn't see myself without.  However...the money struggles.  I'm not one to put a lot of personal information out especially when it comes to my finances.  However, living on a minimum wage income and only one person in the household is nearly impossible.  My husband and I were struggling just to make ends meet, let alone buy necessities.  I returned to work about a month ago and since then have been able to cover bills, and the little luxuries.
On top of all the stress I have lost friends. I have come to the realization that if people choose not to be in your life because you can't make time, or you don't live up to their standards then Fuck them.  Don't even worry about people who choose to cut you out.  You can't make everyone happy, make yourself happy, and make sure the ones closest to you are happy.  The world is a cruddy place and whether it is because you are poor or you just can't make the time, do something.  Arts and crafts, or spending a little bit of money to take your family out for ice cream.  Enjoy the little things.
Keep your chins up and keep your heart open, it gets better.  Just keep taking deep breaths and loving those around you.  Life is more than we make it out to be.  Its about the little things.
