So I go talk to the social worker, which was GREAT, but I'm afraid I talk too much and don't let anything in.

When do you get to a point where you're all talked out and you can finally listen to what people can do for you, the reason you got together in the first place?

I'm planning on going to a group next week. The kids say I never socialize and don't have any friends. Long story why not. So, I'm going to tell the kids we're going some place where I can meet some other people and they can hang out with other kids and play games or do art projects and stuff.

I'm a bit nervous about doing it. Admitting that Hey, my life isn't perfect and I can't deal with it and it's hard being a single mom and battling with my ex all the time about how the kids should be raised. But I'm probably more relieved that I can finally say the same things and not be told it's all in my head and to just deal with it.

The weather is absolutely gorgeous now. I have 4 hours to squeeze in 8 hours of work if I want to hang out with the kids as soon as they get home. Prolly noooot gonna happen. LOL
