Should I not still have HOPES, DREAMS and GOALS? By: Miss Tee

Isn’t life a funny thing with all its twist and turns with no time to catch your breath! Whether it’s rent or mortgage, boyfriends or girlfriends, family or friends, your job or being a part time student. All of that isn’t anything in comparison to being a parent and on top of that a “SINGLE PARENT”!

We now have a new President and hopefully this will call for “new changes” for our country! Still, other than a New Year and a new President, what else is so new about it? I still have to pay all my bills, I still hate my job, I’m still fighting with my “EX”, (hoping he may become a better parent rather than an absent parent), I’m still trying to find some “ME TIME” and maybe get lucky meeting someone or Mr. Someone, right now!

Have you ever noticed when you have worked the entire 5 day work week and during that time you put up with clients, co-workers and a slow running computer etc…? Even at work you’re still thinking about your bills, and hope to GOD there are no surprises during that day, the kids getting sick at school and you have to go and pick them up. You know your boss couldn’t care less if your child is sick or not! And you know it doesn’t matter because you are leaving no matter what your boss says! That entire week the only thing you can think about is Friday! Now that’s only if you are lucky enough to have a job with weekends off.

When that Friday comes you just can’t wait and you finally make it home and the kids are complaining about being hungry, one of the kids didn’t do there chore and wash all the dishes in the kitchen stink. Your Ex called to say that his “BROKE ASS” can’t pick-up the kids this weekend because he nothing better to do then to be an asshole!

You can’t wait to run to your room, and just lay your head on the pillow, and cover your head with the extra pillow to scream your head off! Your mind is racing, and the only thing you can think about is running away! HOW IN THE HELL DID I GET HERE!

With all of that being said, I still have HOPES, DREAMS and GOALS! Because I’m a single parent should I not still have HOPES, DREAMS and GOALS?
