Well...I suppose that since it's been a few years since I contributed, SO...

21. Sometimes the stress of single parenthood gets to me, and I feel extremely guilty I am not able to be everything my children need me to be and still maintain my sanity.

22. Sometimes I feel I am winning my self-esteem battle, but most of the time I'm on the losing team.

23. I have missed being at Pixies more than I ever thought I would, but it was good for me to be away for awhile anyway.

24. I hope in the next year that I can resume working on my ever-elusive degree, perhaps starting to work part-time to finish it more quickly. It's more for self-satisfaction than anything.

25. I continue to be very angry with my body for my diabetes. Intellectually I know that the things I do (or, in some cases, don't do) are a form of self-punishment and that I need to let that go, but it's very difficult, and I am still struggling to put those emotions to rest.
