Divorced, struggling financially, and so burnt out. I don't want to get out of bed in the morning because I'm so exhausted.
sorry to ruin the mood

My landlord informed us that he is selling the house and we might have to leave if the new seller needs the house, I am really nervous as I love the size house, I can't see myself moving.

Listen to some cheery music.
You can control your feelings.
Even if it feels impossible.

Something better will come up.
Whenever I've given up control, something better has come up.
Let go and let God, as they say.

I'm sorry. That can feel so frightening.
At least is was only a dream, and you can be thankful that you woke up and he is safe and sound.

I am a mom of five including 17 months old twins who are adorable and really challenging to look after. I just went back to work as a teacher and I am loving the fact that my babies go out for the afternoon. I am totally overwhelmed with the change of working and running a house but every day I thank Hashem that I survived another day.

You’re amazing for doing all of that!
Twins are a handful!
What do you teach? What do you like most about teaching?

BH I really enjoy teaching, I teach reception which is kindergarten in us. I teach the ABC and basic math concepts, such as coins, number bonds etc. In England these little five year olds wear uniform and start learning earlier then US but it catches up eventually.

That's awesome learning it so early!
I'd love to teach my son these things.
He won't be learning it for another few years and that's a pity. He's 6 already.

hugs
divorcee here too, without kids though so its a completely different situation than if u have kids.

but I was pretty financially tight there for a bit.
I dont mean to sound like a cliche, cuz I hate cliches, especially abt emunah and Hashem and miracles, cuz I feel like life doesn't usually play out like that. anyways, diff discussion.
I was so so stressed abt $ and I just kept telling Hashem I need money, pls help me not be worried abt money. I didnt daven mincha for 20 minutes and cry and hock my chest, I just very simply expressed my needs to Him thruout the day and tried verrry hard to let go.

and bh I dunno what to tell u but I just got some suprise checks in the mail that I totally wasn't expecting and I feel like I'm back on stable footing.
tyh tyh a million times.

it'll get better Wink
