worst month ever....

[laura65536]

sorry, but I have to vent...since thanksgiving my life has been one disaster after another...I was in a car accident the day before thanksgiving, my husband left us the day after thanksgiving, now all of my catfish have some mystery disease and are dying off....not to mention my kids are a wreck, and the first of the month came and went, with no money to pay the bills, Christmas is almost here, isn't this supposed to be the "most wonderful time of the year"?!?!?! Not to mention this is finals week and I cannot seem to keep my head in class the last few weeks, and my 4.0 is going to show that...
Anyway, if anyone has well adjusted "children of divorce" help me out here, my kids are a mess, my daughter is 4 and my son will be 2 the end of the month, they're both acting out, not listening, not sleeping well, ect. I'm sure this is normal, but it sure does make me feel like a POS having to watch them be this upset....(I'm a psych major, you'd think I'd be able to help them...)
I'm not trying to feel sorry for myself, but so far, this forum has been my escape, and the only way to even start to get my mind off of what is going on, so pretty much thanks for giving me something to do, and thanks for any advice you can come up with....cause this is what I feel like doing right about now:

wow , i dont have any kids [ knock on wood ] but i could only imagine . i know you said you dont have alot of extra money burning a whole in your pockets but you could get your kids and go do something fun like fishing or go to the local park and have fun with them and put all your worries aside for a couple of hours . idk just a suggestion .

Just try to stay focused on what's important. I know it may be difficult, but like Li said...just take it one day at a time. Every time I have to re-focus myself, I think of what I want to accomplish and then start off with the smallest and the most simple part of that goal. You say your kids are acting up, so maybe spend more time with them and just start off simple like saying good night to them every night. Everything will be okay.

the park it out for now, we've got about an inch of ice on everything...kinda knocks out fishing as well...but I did take them out yesterday to play in the snow, and we'll be leaving on the 20th to visit their grandparents (my mom) for Christmas for 2 weeks, that'll be a nice break...we're all trying to keep busy, just mostly have to do it inside, my daughter and I are going to start making craft projects for family members for her to give as presents, I think my son will have to be reduced to coloring while we do it, he's a little small to be trusted with paint and glue right now (don't even want to think about that mess ), but thanks for the suggestions!
