Short story

Today i felt as though a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I can breathe more easily. Even though i'm not out of the red, so to speak, i feel much better. When i took the job at the store two years ago it was because i HAD to. My husband had lost his job and wasn't having any luck finding one. It was a very hard time for me. I had been sick all year. I suffered through two major ear infections that caused some horrible Vertigo, a major insomnia bout which triggered the on start of what is now an ongoing problem with acid reflux. When i took that job i was tired and exhausted. Not working was not an option so i had to somehow deal with it. Since we were new there we didn't have many resources saved up to work with nor insurance at the time. I did go to the doctor twice however but that wasn't much help. The year after that we moved into a house in a mobile home park. Because of the high prices here, it seemed the best thing to do because mortgage and space rent put together weren't going to be that much, probably as much as an average apartment here. We should have researched a bit better. This turned out to be the noisiest place i have EVER lived at! I'm a lite sleeper probably because of my problems with insomnia so you all can imagine how hard it's been to sleep since we moved here and we've been here for a year next month now! We have also been having so many problems with our fence being continuously broken. Nothing really we can do about it, it seems. We've complained and complained to park management to no avail. That's driving me crazy. During that first year living at this house here i also had a ton of stress at work at the store. They had a change in management and so many things kept changing and we lost a lot of people. There were times i was doing work for 4 people! I couldn't finish it all and we were, all of us who worked in my department, getting pressure for it. This lasted several months. So not only had i come out of a horrible year the previous year being severely sick and exhausted but now i had all the stress from not being able to sleep properly, the fence problems, work stress, and taking the time to home school my youngest, and i had made a choice to really start working my home business so i could build it and make things work so i wouldn't have to work outside the home all my life. I took on several responsibilities and my days were constantly packed. That definitely kept me busy and not bored, i can tell you that. Being busy has never bothered me but i think i may have made myself a little too busy. After a while, i was starting to feel it. I was starting to feel less energetic and so tired all the time. My priorities weren't in place. I knew i had to spend more time with my boys especially my youngest since i was homeschooling him. Unfortunately, i didn't take the necessary steps to properly register him so now i have to deal with that. With God's blessing hopefully the school district will allow me to continue to home school him. Please everyone keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Yesterday i made a firm decision to quit my job at the store and become a full time mom. I'm going to concentrate my time on my home business and my 3 boys.
