A Valid Excuse: Parenting is Hard

Parenting is hard!  When you are the sole decision maker for your child, it's scary. If things go great, you are allowed to pat yourself on the back. On the other hand, if things go wrong, you're the one to blame.

I'm a single mom. I have pretty much been parenting alone since Alex was in the second grade. This is when my ex-husband remarried and stopped taking interest in what was going on with Alex. I've had to make many decisions all by myself and they haven't been easy. I don't want to screw up his life. I want to get it right for him.

So, with all this said, I didn't focus on writing today. There was an issue with his teacher and I was livid. I've got to make a decision about his school placement sooner than I planned. I want to do the right thing. I don't want to do it out of anger. I want it to be what is best for him.

I'll get back to focus tomorrow. Two days in a row I have posted an excuse. Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow I will succeed.

The. Struggle. Is. Real.

Today writing was a struggle. I tried to work on something I started the other day about belonging. Then I tried to start something new about my mission in life.

There were so many crazy, real-life things happening. My computer freaked out. We got home late from Sunday School. I hate making excuses for not writing, but it is what it is.

Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow I will write something wonderful!

Took a Night Off

Ok, so it's day four and I didn't write today. I started something yesterday that I'm going to finish tomorrow. I think my word count will be great. I feel guilty about taking a day off, especially this early in the challenge, but I was SO tired.  Tomorrow is a new day.
