Working sucks.

Don't get me wrong, I love feeling productive and having dignity and being able to contribute to the family piggy bank by working. But, beyond those small pluses, I really hate what working is doing to me.

Every second I am there I hate myself for not being with my little peanut. I feel like a terrible mother. The worst part is I am going to miss important baby milestones like her first Halloween. I am, of course, scheduled to work that night. 

The economy sucks and we need the money, but it tears me apart inside when I am away from Melrose. I just don't know what to do because there doesn't appear to be any other options. I honestly wouldn't mind going to work a few days a week if I wasn't missing out on important events. 

And a secondary, but far less important, downside of working is that I am barely able to scrape by in classes. That's right. I am working, going to school and trying to raise a daughter. I know everyone is probably judging and trust me, I am judging me too. 

I just don't know what to do. This sucks.

Keep up the good work. You can do it, and don't let anyone judge you. We all have to make decision in our lives, and most mothers these days have to work to help support their families.
