My car is such a peice of junk. We just fixed the brake lines, which costed us around 350 bucks, then yesterday, the started died and we found out that the wiring is a complete mess. On top of that my sister is staying for a week and constantly wants my apartment to be squeaky clean. THEN, my 10 month old constantly wants my attention, which is partly my boyfriend's fault because he always hands Bo off to me when he doesn't want to pay him attention. My teeth hurt to eat because I have cavities in my molors that I can't have fixed because we're living payday to payday already and I don't have dental insurance. I hate my job, which I only make 7.75 an hour, but I don't even get 32 hours a week because I'm part-time, due to the fact that my boyfriend only trusts his mom to babysit our child..
uggggghhhh....I am so stressed out right now it isn't even funny. Anyone know a way to destress fast before I go nuts???

Hey girl - the life sounds almost as stressful as mine. I think, for one, your boyfriend needs to trust someone else with the little one. It was hard for me at first, but daycare is one of the best things ever, especially now with potty training. I walk to destress sometimes. Or maybe taking a night off and doing something with friends. Or we could take our boys for a walk together (my little one loves babies). Wish I could help destress you because I know the feeling.

I'll see what's going on - my schedule changes a little every week. Even if we just go for a walk or something, it's all good. Cole loves walks and gets mad when I stop walking. He would probably love to interact with your little one. He's really good with the kids at daycare.

If I were you I would kick the cars tires and yell at the car, then I would walk in the house and tell my sister if she wants the apartment clean she better get busy cleaning it because you are not her maid. Then I'd pass the baby to the boyfriend and tell him you are taking a much needed break and it is too bad if he doesn't like it. Then I'd call up my best friend and go for a long walk and unload all my problems on her just so it felt like someone was listening(she's a good listener). After I had relaxed and unwound I would go home and tell everyone I was sorry I just needed to unwind. That is what I would do then I would worry about the other bigger problems when I could handle it. About the job, I think it is criminal how little people are willing to pay for hard workers. Have no fear it will all work out in the end. good luck
