Mommy Matters

Sometimes all you need is a text in your corner

MOMMY BLOGGER: People often ask me why I blog, how I can air my life so openly and I always tell them its
my life and my way of dealing.
Blogging – especially mommy blogging – is a community of mom that care and support
each other, we might not know each other face to face but I know some of them better
than my closest friends.

The 2 months have been tough on me, everything just got a little much and I’m not
always sure how to handle it. I mostly deal with it by climbing in a little bubble and
hiding from the world. Now this I haven’t done.

Things aren’t great, financially is hard. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place, bills
pile up and I pay what I can but without support from Amandalynn’s father and Lorelai’s
father who has now applied for a decrease in maintenance my stress level has been sky
high.

Instead of hiding I have been keeping busy. I have been killing myself and working
horrible hours and then making sure that my weekends are packed and that I stay busy,
either with the kids or socially.

This has made me tired so tired that I cannot think when I get the kids in bed at night, so
that means I don’t often blog or really tweet.

Emotionally I’m tired! At 25 (26 in 2 months) I have had to deal with so much that I find
it pretty amazing that I am here and still fighting. I have an amazing support structure,
my family has been there supporting me for the last 7 years and honestly I would be lost
without them.

I’m recent post have not been moon shine and roses, but I’m not unhappy, I am just tired.
I am waiting and working hard for things to get better and change and I know that I still
have a long road ahead of me.

The point is without the Bloggy Moms, Twitter and Mommy Matters I would have felt
so alone, scared and lost. I wish I could mention each person who has messaged me and
supported me these last couple of months but I don’t have enough buttons on my phone to
do that.

Thank you to every last one of you and thank you to the Mommy Matters team not for
pushing me aside in my little break I took, but supporting me and holding your breath for
my return, I am slowly getting back to being myself.

I wish this for all moms and dads out there: I hope you find a community as awesome
as the ones I am apart of, as they will hold your hand through anything that comes your
way.

Stiletto Mom Single mum of two amazing princesses, Amandalynn and Lorelai, on a mission to conquer the world (or at least survive it) one stiletto clad step at a time. I love my children and every decision I make or will make will be in their best interest! I love shoes. I love coffee. I am trying to figure out what I want to be, what I will be studying to make that dream a reality. I have great friends. I enjoy sitting around with a good book and a large bottle of wine.
