Survival Mode Year

 I have had this blog for somewhere to write and think.  I started this blog not with the intention to write and share with people.  I spent the whole year stressed.  Those who know me know that I have worked my past 8 years for a school.  So my years are worked off of the school calendar.  This past school year has been terrible.  Personal and Professional.  The crazy thing is I received a lot of praise because students’ attendance went up.  I recently bought a house at the beginning of the school year.  My son who has special needs started working at the same school I worked at.  That was a disaster and helped stress me out.  My brother and his children were struggling this year due to personal problems.  Financially struggling since buying a house and a thought of my son not being able to keep his job.  Side hustles not making sense.  Now I am working.  Fundraising grants and donations not working for us.  Also my son has special needs.  I know I mentioned that already but there is so much to my son who needs so much and there isn’t any information.  I feel like I need to vent.  Life is crazy.  Mom said that I should start writing like a journal.  So here we go… I guess I am going to have to play all the cards to survive.  Yes…according to ChatGPT, I am in survival mode.  I guess that explains why I can’t sleep.  I feel like I still need to ask the same question. If she can do it, why can’t I?

What next?!

 I have been having a lot of conversations.  A lot of them have been with God.  I am not religious or anything but I have been struggling in my own head since we took a risk and moved into our new home, me and my son.  I have a lot going through my head.  One of which is …I got my son through high school figuratively and literally.  My son is highly functioning autistic among other things or in the medical field, he is a level1 .  Well that alone says to me that life should be a little easier. Wrong!!! The complete opposite.  Because my son is a level 1 autistic now considered an adult, means that he is invisible.  To me that means I have so much to do and not a lot of time.  I am looking around.  There are so many shes that have been able to live through this.  There are so many shes that have settled.  And then you have so many shes like me that want to know what to do next.  God, I am not finished talking to you!  I know I got this.  I had for 18 years.  I just have 1 of many questions.   What now?!

Happy New Year!!!

I needed to challenge myself this year.  So I made myself do some work.  The word for 2025 was RISKS.  I reminded myself often that I don’t normally take risks.  I am almost certain that this year, I really only took one risk but any risk is better than no risk.  I took a risk, came out of my comfort zone and brought a house for me and my son to build in.  So as we move into a new year, I want to continue with the idea that I can do anything.  So I will be welcoming 2026 with the thoughts of just doing as much as my heart desires.    Thank you for coming along the journey with me.  

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
