I do. I'm a freelance writer and while I've been doing this for 7 years, I recently feel overwhelmed.
More work has come my way from a variety of sources...which is good obviously but I sometimes feel like I'm just hanging on by the skin of my teeth.
It's really hard to get my stuff out and to a high standard while managing my family too.
Last week was a mad roller coaster...feeling resentful of DDs school too...they're asking for help constantly with things. This week is a TINY bit better due to slightly smaller workload but I've been lazy today and not done enough which means tomorrow and Friday will be catch-up days.
AND on Friday I need to leave my work to go to DDs school and see her in a play at 11.00am...which will use an hour or more of my time and I often feel panicked about things.
Right now, it's evening here in Oz and I feel bone tired...I finally understand that phrase!
DH was doing the school run until last week but then his hours increased so I've taken over and as I can't drive, this means a 2 mile walk twice a day. A mile there, a mile back and then again at home time.
I think the best thing I can do tonight is go to bed early....BUT I have a client whose social media I have to check at 11.00pm and this keeps buggering my early nights up!
Sorry for epic moan. I feel done in and want some advice. :(
