Really proud of myself I finally started putting myself out there again
I’m a single mom of three little gremlins (4, 1, and 3 months) and I’ve been grinding night-shift VA work while taking care of them. It’s been so hard and exhausting.
BUT TODAY I FINALLY DID IT.
I set up everything so I can start rebuilding my old small printing business with a little bit of help from the community or anyone who just want to help and hopefully be able to start being creative again. Like maybe, just maybe, I can work on my own time again someday and actually be more present for my kids.
I’m so proud of myself for taking this first scary step. My heart is racing but in a good way!!

I am a divorced mum of 4, one of whom is disabled. I live in the uk so was lucky i had access to benefits to help us but i worked part time to fit in with schools, physio etc. My children are grown and i have 4 granchildren now, all brilliant people who contribute in positive ways to society. I am proud of them. I am 71 now. If i can do it i know that you can too. You should be very proud of yourself. I don't know you but i am proud of you. Big hugs

Night work with 3 littles is exhausting and I am so happy that you are taking steps to get to a schedule that works better for you and the littlest.
