#Istruggle
I struggle with my weight. I feel the stress oozing through my pores, and know that I’ll medicate it with food. I am the poster child for stress eating, the sweeter the better.
I struggle with watching my 8th grade team begin to prepare for next year, while my sixth grade team is not yet a team.
I struggle watching my students with apathetic attitude at such a young age.
I struggle getting everything done, when layer after layer are put into the basket.
I struggle with those things that are totally out of my control, but constantly mess with my school, my students, and my family.
I struggle with bullies, adult and student.
I struggle with parents who won’t stand up to their kids. Parenting is hard, but it needs to be done. If the phone, the X-Box, the whatever is the carrot for behavior, then use it.
I struggle with the fact that it’s April 24, and my garden isn’t planted, my potatoes aren’t in the ground, and that creeping charlie is ALL over my lawn!
I struggle with both daughters soon being adults.
I struggle with my own education and focusing on one thing. Scattered is not a good place to be.
I struggle with wanting more, but being unable to get there.

Thank you for this honest post!
Fellow emotional eater here, I feel you! Also, reading your โ the parent’s โ point of view makes me wonder how my parents feel about us becoming adults.. I really like how your posts make me think ๐

LOL! I would imagine that if your parents found your blog, they’d be proud of your continued quest to find yourself and all the places it’s taken you. But that’s just me. ๐ I appreciate your kind words and hope you have a wonderful night!

I’m sorry to hear it’s one of those days. I admire you that you can voice your struggles on the blog because I still cannot.
The only thing to do with struggles is to go to those you love and get lots of snuggles. ๐ hokey…but cute

Sometimes, I worry that I over share, but yet, those seem to be my most powerful posts. It’s taken me a while to get to this point, that’s for sure! I agree, it’s a matter of getting a cuddle or two in, that’s for sure! Thank you for stopping by! ๐

I ran smack into that apathetic attitude from fourth graders (fourth graders!!!) today. The struggle is real.

Tomorrow is another day… sometimes getting it all out is what we need to move forward. Do you know Ruth Ayers? She hosts a #celebratelu every Saturday. It is also great to take the time to focus and find something -even small – to celebrate once a week. It is a great group of bloggers. Sending good thoughts your way.

Is Deb Day part of that group? I think she’s mentioned something like this group before. I may need to sit in on a session as sometimes, it’s tough to find the positives! ๐ Thank you for stopping by here and leaving your comment!

Sorry that it’s been that kind of day. I find it challenging to know what to share as well sometimes, but I find your post honest and relatable. Thanks for sharing!

Some days all we can see is the trouble. We just have to let it wash over like a wave and look to the horizon. Those are days I like to look out at nature, birds, flowers, sunshine and take the dog for a long walk. I feel,most of the struggles you share as well. Hope they feel lighter today.
