Happy Wednesday
Wednesday, August 8, 2007
It feels like it should be Tuesday, since I missed Monday. Only 2 days left until the weekend. Oh how I love the weekends.
I just finished summer semester so I have until the 22nd until fall classes start. I am so going to take full advantage of those 2 weekends. I actually kind of like school. Though I wish I would have gone back right when I graduated from high school. I would actually be done by now. I am going to take 2 business classes and a biology class. I think I'm going to have my hands full this semster, so I'm getting nervous.
My birthday is on Sunday. The big 28!! I know it's not that bad, I just feel like I haven't accomplished a whole hell of a lot. For some reason 28 sounds really old to me, and I know it's not. I don't feel like i'm going to be 28, so I guess that's good. I decided to just have a few friends over to my house on Saturday night. Hang out and drink ALOT!!! It should be fun. Here's to no drama!!!!
Do you ever feel like you should be somewhere different in your life then where you are right now? I think that I have done pretty damn good for the shit that's been handed to me. I have a nice house( though I don't own it), a great man, a wonderful and absolutly beautiful son, I am raising my sister because my mom is an idiot( that's another story). I am happy. I just wish I had more money. Me and Adam have been talking about paying off all our credit cards, which is alot, and paying down my student loans by December of 2008 so that we can try to buy a house. The problem is we don't make any money. I have a shopping problem, that I swear I am going to try and get under control. I only work an average of 30 hours a week at work. I work for a CPA, so during tax season I am busy, and I work 40 hours a week. But the rest of the time there just isn't anything to do. I continue to work here because 1.) I make my own hours, which is great since I have a 4 year old. 2.) I have the best boss ever! 3.) I can go on vacation, call in sick, leave early whenever I want and he never says anything. 4.) I work around my school schedule.
The problem is I think I am starting to freak out a little. Can you have a quarter life crisis? If so I think I may be having one. I am going to be 28 in less than a week and I still am not financially stable. It's scary. I always thought I would be able to take my kids on vacation and not have to save money for a year ahead of time. I thought I would be able to find that perfect purse and be able to buy it with no regrets. I love to shop and buy new stuff for me and my kids, I just don't get to do it as often as I'd like. I think I can stick it out with this job 1 more year. I will graduate next summer. I believe that once I graduate I will be able to make some decent money. My boss is getting older, 72, and is thinking about retiring in the next 2 years, though I don't think he will go longer than next tax season. So then I don't have to feel guilty about leaving.
Sorry just needed to rant a little. Thanks!!
I think that's it for now. Have a great day. Talk to you tomorrow!!

I remember being little (let's say around 10) and thinking I'd be married with kids and a career and my entire life figured out by the time I was around 25. Um, yeah. Funny how life does it's own thing, hey? If that's the case, I still have 14 months to 'figure out' my entire life!
Happy early birthday!

In regards to how you feel about 28 being old but not really - I totally feel that way about 23! I know it's stupid because when I'm older I'll be like, I can't believe I thought 23 was old! But it feels like I should have my shit together by now...
Love the blog, btw!

I don't think it really matters how old your turning we all feel the same about being one year older.
BMR, I felt the same way when I was younger, about turning 25. Then it was 30. So I guess I still have 2 years.
VIV, thanks for the comment, I'm glad you like the blog. I guess we all get our shit together at different ages. As long as we try, right?

well...you're graduating so you'll be making better money and have a stable career. You'll be surprised how fast that stuff falls into place. It sounds like you're doing pretty well for yourself and your son.
