I've decided to cut back on my caregiving time and work one less day a week...

My body is telling me that working seven days a week isn't working. The money has kept me afloat but I think I need a day off.

I'm not taking care of myself like I should and I deserve care too.

I only have myself and my son needs me. There's not much fat to trim but I've talked to my therapist and my GP and I'm showing early signs of a breakdown. I have to make changes.

Times are also just tough right now with rising prices, so I've done what I had to do. Doesn't seem fair though that a mom needs to work this much and I don't even have daycare. I'm thankful for how I've expertly worked things out but my sanity is on thin ice.
