For the past few months I have felt like a huge failure. It all started when I got into Mary Kay and wanted to sell it. Well that totally backfired. No matter what I did, I couldn't get new customers. So I wasn't making any money, and therefore I couldn't pay my credit card. So I had to quit Mary Kay. I tried so hard to make it work, but I failed in the end. I can't seem to shake that I am a failure. I want to feel like I am good at something. I want to feel happy with what I do. I have thought about getting a job, but that's hard to do. Not many places stay open past 6 here. My MIL won't watch Kira for me during the day so I can get a job. That puts me in a tough spot. I also want to go to school, but then I feel like I am going to put my family into debt even further. Its like not matter what I do, there is a negative. I want to stop feeling negative and just be happy! I don't want to be stuck anymore. I know that its up to me to change things. Just wish I had support system. I don't have that really. I feel all alone sometimes.

Oct. 10, 2007 at 9:21 PM Sorry that your having a hard time. I also would like to contribute more financially to our family but I don't have that family support either so it's hard for me too. But I think things usually work themselves out. And after all we do the most important job of being there for our kids.
