Breather in Current Events

I am balancing quite a bit lately and I have been so irrevocably exhausted and that has been afffecting my ability to cope with stress. Between getting up with my niece during the week and then getting up at 4am for shifts on the weekends I have had little time to sleep. I was selfishly thinking about myself and having a pity party on my way to work on monday when I rear ended somebody. His truck didn’t have a scratch and my bumper now has a hole. This could have been a lot worse, my niece could have been in the car for starters. I have been waiting all week to have time to deal with the insurance of it all. I have been feeling so defeated because I have failed at everything I wanted to do this year. I haven’t had time to stop and care about me. I have just been spread a little thin helping everybody out and I really don’t want to feel sorry for myself. I need rest, I need sleep. I hate using the word need but I talked to my sister to make arrangements so that I have one day off from her daughter so I can actually sleep. I know I can do it all. I can. I just need a moment to recollect myself.
