Life is a Roller Coaster
So it got worse, a lot worse than i ever imagined.....Iam all alone without any friends,without GF,without any support at all.....i guess it had to be like this...
As bad as it sounds, you can't have everything. You must choose, what is important to you, and what's not that important. I feel from what you have written that you aren't really enjoying the daycare you are running, and it makes you really stressed. Maybe I am wrong, but still I think that it would help you a lot if you would ask yourself: why are you doing it, and wether you could find any other ways of getting what you want, instead of running the daycare.
Replyfunny we have done the daycare for seven years and i do not want to do it... but my mom has made it so i have to wait a whole year until the girls go to kindergarten to get out of it... but i dont think i can wait that long.. and idk what to do.. we are friends with the parents now, two of the parents are my sisters and i just dont know how to tell them all sorry you have to find somewhere else for the last year.
Replythis doesn't sound wrong. this is both truthful and accurate.
ReplyYou need to take some time off. I recommend taking a break from kickboxing and leave your restaurant job, or your daycare job. Your health comes first, and if you aren't getting proper sleep and proper meals your body is lacking the necessary resources to heal, and keep up. You could cause serious harm if you don't rest. Once you figure out one to leave, set a strict schedule you can keep. You should get at least 7 hours of sleep a night. Go to bed at 10 and wake up at 6, or so on. Maybe set a time period for day care, take care of children school times (from like 7-4 p.m.), then use the rest of your time to manage studies, friends, and kickboxing. Regulate your kickboxing so that you go every other day, so that you can heal and rest, and switch out your studies and friends.
Every morning make sure you eat a good breakfast (yogurt, cheerios, fruit, orange juice, etc.), so that you can start the day off healthy and strong. Eat a proper lunch at a set time every day, and dinner. If you can, try and get a 30-45 minute nap in sometime after lunch, and a fruit to snack on in between.
ReplyI have been their not because I had way too much on my plate but I didn't had anything you have, also try to keep something for occasions like weekends and holidays (like meeting friends) so you can sleep a bit more and study a bit well
