Struggling

Have you been struggling lately? I know I have been. My husband came home from deployment right after the quarantine started and it has been chaos ever since. It's dark but funny to think that I've waited almost 11 months to see my husband and now we are stuck together like sardines and in need of a break.

I've spent the last 11 months taking care of two kids, writing, and finishing up my medial coding courses. I didn't have to worry about being a wife to someone outside of being available for phone calls so it's definitely been an experience. I've had to relearn mannerisms, annoyances, routines, etc. I went from spending the majority of my time writing when I wasn't dealing with the kids, to feeling guilty for wanting to write because I haven't spent time with my husband for almost a year. It's a head trip.

What have I been doing to fix this struggle? Well I have scheduled days to edit so that I get into a routine, and it helps my family get into the same. I'm spending a little money on myself to buy a desktop and second monitor, which I need. And I am trying to be more active outside. I am a warm weather type of gal and love being outside when possible, so its easy to get bogged down when I am inside writing for hours.

What is your plan to get over the struggle? Are you going to change your day to day routine, treat yourself, or something completely different? Whatever you decide, make sure it's the best decision for yourself. Never give up on your dreams, work hard every day towards your goal. If you are in need of encouragment or prayer, drop a comment!❤
