List of the Day - My Frustrations

1. My ex-husband badmouths me to the kids. I hate this. They are my children, too. I carried them and gave birth to them. I work my butt off to give them food and clothing and a roof over their heads. I don't spoil them, but I buy them other things when I feel like it. When they're with me, I'm with them instead of pawning them off on a babysitter so I can go out. I take them to museums or the drive-in or the mall or to restaurants or on mini-vacations. But my ex-husband is one who is bitter over the divorce, who can't seem to get his stuff together, and who spoils them rotten. He tells them lies or his opinions about me and my boyfriend or my family, and those are the words that I hear coming out of my babies' mouths.

2. My house has a lot of work to be done to it, and I can't do it alone. As much as I complain, I love my house. It was the first house that I bought and I'm partial to it. It was vacant when I bought it and there is a lot of updating and things that need to be done. I'm frustrated because my boyfriend and I had all these plans to get things done to it, and even started to do some things, and then he went down a different path and now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to do this on my own.

3. My boyfriend has no room for me in his life anymore. He has all these plans for the future like to buy a house or do this or do that, and all his plans for the future don't include me. A big change from a few months ago when we were looking at engagement rings.

Ok, so the list of the day is pretty short which is a good thing. Unfortunately, the things on the list are major issues that I'm struggling with.
