Just need to vent for a second…

I hate May. I have one child, and the amount of activities is overwhelming: end of school banquets, concerts, finals, sleepovers, summer camp sign-ups…

On top of that, she has orthodontist appointments, dentist appointments, eye doctor appointments. Don’t ask me why these all happened to be scheduled in May… I clearly wasn’t thinking ahead.

To add to that burden, my daughter has Type 1. And she was invited to take part in a study for a new medical device. She’s giving the medical community an amazing gift by taking part, but it also means MORE visits to the doctor, extra BG monitoring… Of course, the study runs through the month of May.

At work, I just got promoted. Which is great! I love my new responsibilities. But I’m trying to pass off projects from my old role and understand what my new role entails. All while juggling kiddo responsibilities. I also have to travel this month.

I have a husband who is a huge help, but he is also dealing with stuff. He was just diagnosed with depression and is working through that with his therapist. He is also going through some positive role changes at work, but it’s still adding some stress to his life.

I just feel like I’m carrying EVERYTHING right now. I’m also seeking therapy, but I am also stressed about trying to fit appointments into my schedule.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading. Thank you also for letting me vent a little bit. Just gonna breathe and try to take it day by day.
