I am a working single mom and I have tried to maintain some sort of a normal life outside of those titles, but I have finally come to terms with the fact that my life has been forfeited.
I work 10 hours a day, at least, and then I finally get to be with my son till it is bed time for both of us. Repeat. Day in and day out. The monotony of it all is so frustrating. My work is so consuming that I feel like I am there even when I am not there. It was never my intent to become a workaholic. In fact, that little description makes me rather depressed. I wanted to be a writer, a creative type of person. Instead, I an over analytical, over worked, over stressed, desk jockey full of bitterness.
I don't want my life to keep escaping me. I want to start doing something that I enjoy doing. So today is that today. Sometimes, you just have to do a cannon ball into the pool instead of dipping your toe in... Sometimes, you just have to live....
