Nice guys DO finish last
So I am now going on 1 month unemployed. The lack of work and money is seriously depressing me and causing a total lack of motivation. I can't seem to keep the house clean, laundry done, and yard looking good. I want to, and it really bothers me that these things are not getting done, I just can't seem to find to energy to get up and do it. I seem to be becoming overwhelmed with the whole full time single dad thing, and I am afraid that right now I am not doing a very good job raising my children, although they do seem happy and are doing well in school. I need to get the divorce final, then maybe I will get some child support to help out with the expense of providing for 2 young boys. Finding a girlfriend is pretty much a lost cause, I mean really, who wants to date a guy that is unemployed, depressed, and unmotivated?! It's amazing how in such a short time one can go from getting by and catching up to falling farther behind and having to play catch up once again. If only I could find a job that is consistent and long-lasting, then I could get my shit together. I have learned how to be frugal and get by on very little, but I don't like it. Another thing I do not like is not being able to give my kids the things they want. At this point, it's all about needs, not wants. I NEED a job, I NEED to make money, I NEED to get the damn title for the Jeep that I have been trying to obtain for over 4 months now. I am out of shape, look like hell, and feel even worse. My health is waning, and there is no where to turn. My family is non existent with Mom in a Nursing Home with Alzheimer's, Dad in Colorado, and my sister and nieces are simply unavailable and unable to help in any way (they have their own problems to deal with). I feel all alone - on an island with no rescue in sight. I want to have a garage sale and just purge myself of all of the crap I have accumulated over the years so when I get kicked out of my house it will be easier to move, there is just so much. I am so close to losing everything I own and I am scared... no terrified really. I just don't know what I can do. I stare at the computer screen hoping something is going to pop up and fix all my problems, and I know that is absurd. I am not like this. I am usually very positive and upbeat. I guess all the stress has gotten to me and is changing my entire personality. I yell at the kids more and have far less patience than I normally do. I can't stand that every single night, I have to scream at my kids to go to sleep. They go in their room and just mess around, sometimes for hours after their bed time and this creates even more stress. How do you get kids to LISTEN to you and do what you tell them to?! Time-out does not work after bed time, pretty soon, everything will be out of their room except for beds. No more TV, books, toys... it just creates something for them to do besides what they are supposed to be doing. I hate being "mean" but life is leaving me no choice. I guess it's time to say "Screw everyone" and just become a complete asshole. Asshole guys seem to be better off anyway. I guess it is true what "they" say - Nice guys DO finish last.
