Balancing life

Having a great support system around you can be a great thing. When life gets hectic and there’s a million things going around, you need to be able to balance life. Recently I saw this play out in my personal life. I work full time and am furthering my education in the evenings.

My school schedule changed drastically from a two nights for fours hours a night, to a twenty-six hour week. In order to stay in the program I need to keep those hours. That means balancing family and home life with all the usual mundane day to day. Before the semester began I was nervous how would everything balance out? Now I’m seeing there’s a reason everyone has a support system and that’s to balance life!

Frustrated and angry

Sometimes you hear something from a family member and it just angers you. I’m currently experiencing that. My brother & I are close and we talk often. He’s married about a year and a half. He & his wife both work full time and go to school full time so that they can further their education. Just when they think they can cover their monthly expenses new bills pop up such as tuition, textbooks … Our parents help him out with his tuition and he and his wife pay for her tuition. They just got a call from his father-in-law that my brothers wife is being kicked off her parents cell phone plan, which is a family plan.  They are financially independent and don’t ask for help form either side. He’s  frustrated and angry when does he get to be able to save money up? I lasked him if there is anyway that I can help

Your weight and looks

Here’s the thing, I’m a married woman who is grateful to have met her husband when I did. I was at a wedding and overheard a few girls talking about their looks. One was complaining to the other how her top made her look “fat”. People if you are a size 4 which she was you can wear a shamteh (old worn clothing) and still not look fat. Trust me I’m no size 0. Why does everyone desire to be stick skinny? Why can’t you desire to be healthy in your own body and skin?
