Well, how positive can I possibly be? I just started a new job for just a little over two months now and I have a ton of things plaguing me like this morning my daughters babysitter had alcohol on her breath, and I asked her about it and she said "Oh, I went to a little get together last night and had a few drinks I am alright though". What kind of **** is that? Then, I was running late this morning, suffering from menstrual cramps, left my keys at home so I couldn't open the office (couldn't ride all the way home my registration for my truck is dead)! Now should I mention that my license is expired a while ago with out my knowledge because I had relocated to Virginia from DC and my mail notification went to the D.C. address and now I have a learner's permit (like a retard) and you know they have restrictions, which brings me to this..........How do I find the time to 1. Renew my Vehicle Registration, 2. Get my daughter enrolled in an Official Daycare, 3. Take my road test (has been way over due since August 15th) 4. Get to work on time (I have to drop off my daughter at the babysitter, my step daughter at school no earlier than 8am drop off my fiancé at work and then make it here to work by 8:20 am which is too much of a pinch since the total commute time is 20 minutes to my job without traffic or stops so with rush hour it's a drag)! I am drowning in pitiful ness!

You need to take a sanity break .. seriously. Take a day off, rather is a personal, vacation or sick day .. do it.
Take the time to renew your registration, remove your daughter from the current sitter (I wouldn't have my child there under any circumstances!) and find her a suitable person to watch over her. Take the time....

Stop for a minute and take a breath.....in.... out....once more...in...out. Now lets begin. first things first since you need your vehical that comes first if you can take the day off(lets face it your not going to be able to accomplish all this in the time you have at your disposal.) 1. Explain the situation to your boss and tell him/her that it will not be a regular thing you just need a minute to get situated. 2. Seeif you lush of a babysitter can drop your daughter at school and get your Fiance to work, if not, tell him to take a cab since you cant drive. 3. Get your kids were they belong, this might be tricky since you have to drive but make it quick and watch your speed if youve gone this long the cops might not catch you. 4. Find out what time the drivers licence place opens and make plans too take your test and get your registration. The most important thing is that you dont get overwhemed by your situation. Just breath and take one step at a time things will be O.K. 5. If things have gone right so far (which they probably havent) you will now have time to find that daycare. This may take some time but use it wisely your daughter is important and you need to have the security of knowing shes safe when you go to work. Planning is the key to a not so stress filled life. Sit down with you other half and discuss how to make your mornings more productive and less rushed. You need to do this or every morning will be just like this morning! Make a list of the next days chores and make sure you have time to accomplish them without rushing. I hope this helps and remember deep breaths...in...out.

Your fiance needs get a car and you can take one kid to school and he can take the other.
Your going to have to go to your boss and explain the situation with your license and ask for 1 day off to do all your running around.
Sit down and plan out the whole day carefully so that you can get it all done.
Call daycares near your work plan a meeting and find out when the drivers license dept is giving the drivers test, and what time the court house is open so that you can get your tag renewed.
I'm a single mom with two kids I work Mon-Fri 8-5 and its 65 mins to where i work from my kids school. I have a bf and we live togeather but seriously its just like having an extra kid which your are probably aware of (sometimes the men are worse than the kids. LOL) My daughter plays volleyball and basketball for the school and plays year around softball. My son plays football and baseball. Oh did i mention that im in school full time to i go 3 nights a week, and when things start piling up i take a personal day and get all my responsibilities done in one day. I even schedule dr's appointments on that day.
Get up early and go strickly by your list of things to do. Ask the court house or where ever you have to get your tag renewed because sometimes they will let you mail it in and they will mail you the new stickers.
1. Insist that your fiance take off the same day to help as you will need a licensed driver to take you to get your license anyway.
2.Take Drivers Test (plan to do this one first because there is usually a long line and you might be there a couple of hours, try to get there about 45 min to an hour before they open so you can be one of the first in line) also make sure you brought all your information with you and all your paper work is in order.
3. Next meet the day care centers you called earlier and decide which on you like and enroll your daughter that day.
4. Go home and relax knowing that everything is going to be okay.
After all this is done and its going to be awhile before you can afford a second car make plans to drop the baby off first, take your fiance to work and last take your step daughter to school (i would call the school about this sometimes they have a before school program where you can drop them off earlier) that way when shes dropped off you have your 20 mins to get to work.

wow sorry sweetie, 1st u should take 1 day off of work and take care of all the things u have 2 do, your license, registration, daughters daycare and anything else u have 2 do, talk 2 your babysitter about what she did, i mean u can't tell her what she can do on her off time but tell her how u feel abou the situation, as far as your driving the only solution is 2 get up a lil earlier 2 get everywhere in time until your fiance gets some sort of transportation of his own, goodluck.

Honey it sounds like you need to get organized and fast. Start off by researching daycares in your area instead of surfing the Answer board, you can always renew your license online like I just did, you can even do your vehicle registration online. Second of all you should start getting up way earlier so that you have time to do all your morning activities and get everyone to work on time and the kids to school. You have to have a routine instead of just getting up and going. Get some consistency so your kids can follow suit as well. Sit your fiance down and let him know that you are trying to get everyone on a schedule and you need all his help. Good luck with your time management skills. It may also help to talk to your boss and let him or her know that since you have just recently moved, you need to take a day to take care of your license and registration, etc. They should understand. Some things have to be taken care of during office hours.

Well, first look in the mirror and say loudly "you did this yourself, it is all your fault!" And while we are at it (everyone reading this, I mean), lets ALL of us look in the mirror and say loudly "WE ALL did this to ourselves. It is ALL OUR FAULT."
What am I taking about? The world we live in today. We ALL wanted faster, bigger, better, newer. We wanted to walk faster, run faster drive faster. 3 channels on the tv is not enough! Give me 500 channels. Now I have nothing to watch.
Give us trade schools and colleges. So we can work longer hours, more work, harder work. Give us computers, so we can keep cd files AND file cabinets full of paper.
There is nothing really wrong with YOU! It is the world we all created. Too much to do, NEVER enough time to get it all done.
So we ALL run on invisible treadmills all day and night, falling into bed, mentally checking off what we did VS what we did not! That Day.
Unless everything slows down. And you and I BOTH KNOW "that ain't gonna happen," we just have to learn to run faster, work harder, and complain louder.
Hope this helps. I know EXACTLY how you feel.
In fact, ALL OF US know EXACTLY how you feel.,
God Help all of Us! No one else will...

Take a day off of work and get yourself together. Tell your man to step up and help out more. Take a deep breath and realize that the maddness will end....

wow! first off take a step back and try to reorganize your thoughts. a lot has happened to u in such a short time. u could always get a piece of paper and start writing down your priorities(vehicle situations) from most important to least. take a day OFF. good luck with it all.

i know what you're dealing with. i'm kinda dealing with that too. i might want to assert, basically placed your foot down, and do not do something. Your moms and dads will be shocked with the help of reaction and pay interest to you. then you definately tell them each thing. convey out the tears if it helps! basically lead them to get your interest, and tell them what's going on. Oh and tell your brother to cease being this kind of lazy ****, and quicker or later, his gf/spouse isn't gonna stand his bullshit, and he's gonna finally end up residing on my own, and could no longer know the thanks to do **** because he in no way did something now. lolz ok wish issues get more desirable proper!
