Woe Is Me

I've been sitting here wondering what the hell is wrong with me? I mean, things are as good as they can get and yet I just feel frumpy and a little down. I don't know why...

Darling has decided to start going to school. I know...I was shocked too. He wants to get some sort of a degree in computer programming or networking or some crazy crap like that. Don't get me wrong...I'm happy that he wants to pursue something like this. But, in a way, it does piss me off. I have one year left of my undergrad then I was planning on going to grad school. Darling gave me the thumbs up for grad school but if he decides to go to school then I will have to postpone grad school and...breathe deeply...get a job! I want to work but I don't want to get caught in a job I hate. I'm trying to be supportive for Darling but I am a little upset by it all. Then I feel guilty because he has worked hard and long so I could go to school. Am I ingrateful? Probably.

School is going well. So far I'm all A's and maybe a B+ in one class but I am losing my inertia. This last week was Spring Break and I got lazy. I was supposed to write three papers and work on some of my lesson plans. Instead I wrote one paper, read a book that wasn't for a class but I wanted to read, and hung-out with my kids. They needed my attention this week since Darling went back to work. They were so used to having him around all the time that they were a little lost on Monday and Tuesday.

I don't know what is wrong. Perhaps I need a vacation. Actually that doesn't sound too bad. I would really love to go to Venice. Or perhaps New Zealand. Of course, Ireland would be good too. I don't foresee any of those places in my near future though. Perhaps I will just buy some exotic foods and flowers and pretend to be on vacation.

Anyhow, I'm in a poopy mood...

I hear you...I'm so tired, worn down and sick of dealing with other people's messes that I'm about to lose my mind. A nice vacation sounds like an amazing idea....unfortunately, we just spent $10,000 to SELL our house (I know, sounds backwards, eh?) so there won't be any vacations for us anytime soon.

I have always felt that we are the only one who will care for us, after all who else knows us better?, I take time for myself every day, be it 10 minutes or 4 hours. Identify those things and those people who are thiefs of your time and remove them from your day, or week, we all have "that friend" who calls every other day to dump on you, and before you know it an hour has gone by and you feel as crappy as they do, you need to realize that that is exactly their intent, learn to not answer the phone or hang up after 5 minutes, schedule "me" time, and take it !! no phone, no kids, no spouse... nothing
