Default Life's Most Difficult Challenge

What has been the most difficult challenge
that you have faced in your life?

Would you care to share?

How did you overcome this obstacle?
Or, are you still working to achieve this?

That I would care to share? Twins--they come in two's. Cannot overcome them. . .only option is to wave white flag and beg for mercy. But, like with many things, time makes it much easier!

Hmmm...the most difficult ones I'm pretty sure none of you want to hear about.

But right now, its pretty difficult being a single parent, with a single income. I have no money to pay anyone to watch her, and my mom is sick right now, so its pretty much all up to me. I work, then come home to my daughter.

I hate how selfish I am sounding right now, but I would love a night out. I would love a nap. I would love to take a shower that last longer than 10 minutes, because any longer and I'm jumping out anyways because my dd got into something.

And I would LOVE to start dating again but that is a joke! I don't even want the guys to meet her right away, much less take her on the date too!

Its very difficult to not have any me-time. I know I will one of these days. Its just hard right now.

I would say parenting is probably the biggest challenge. I get weekends and vacations from work, and I've been incredibly blessed to be married to a wonderful woman.

We'll get a break from parenting when the kids are all married and out of the house. 'Till then Mommy and I are on call 24/7.

I'm in the midst of my toughest challenge yet. My brother's friend fell out of the back of his pick-up, and ultimately died from the head trauma. While grieving, we're still waiting to hear if the DA will charge my brother with vehicular manslaughter or not. The police indicated it was a possibility. I don't recall ever feeling as low in my life as I do right now.

Last year a very dear friend died from cancer. That was one of the hardest things I've ever gone through.

My biggest challenge is raising a child with disabilities, and dealing with people who choose to be ignorant to it! That's my biggest challenge! There is so much that goes into it, and unless you walk in the shoes of a mother of a child with disabilities...you have no idea.
Not all disabilities are physical.
