Some of my budgeting plans are off track, as we have had to eat out a lot more than usual. I have paid a little more for babysitters to help me with transport and activities for my daughter. Because of my health situation, my energy levels, including fatigue, have been a barrier to maintaining this goal. I have needed help. Emotionally, this has taken a toll on me. Milwaukee is not home for us, so we would have a much more robust community and support if we lived closer to family.Of course, school is in full swing, and the fees for extracurricular activities are part of the process. I will need to make these changes to my budget.I am catching up so I can receive payment for all of my work, yet I need to be mindful of my workload. This is the reality of the pressures of single parenting, as my responsibility to my daughter is a continued priority.I am committed to being patient as I return to health.
