Urgh... I hate paying bills!

Just started to pay bills, and it is so discouraging! I just got paid, and it is almost gone. I haven't even paid half of what I need to this check. Not to mention, gas and groceries. Kinda have to buy them!!! And the collection agency people want to call every day!

TGIF--

Well, I survived another week! I have been sick for almost two weeks now. I think I am finally getting better. I am still awaiting my tax return. My nerves are absolutely torn up!

BUSY DAYS!!!

Wow, this week has been busy! I did finally get my taxes to my accountant! Guess I will have to wait to see how it turns out.
Other than that, it has been rush, rush, rush! It is not very easy trying to be everthing for everyone. But I manage. Besides, I love the people in my life, and just want to be there for them.

Taxes

I spent a couple of hours last night trying to get my taxes together. I always separate my tax information, yet I manage to lose something every time.
I can't wait to get them done. I will get money back, and be able to become current on my bills... I hope.

So for Another Moment of Honesty

No, I haven't really been on a date since I was separated. But I have managed to make a few mistakes along the way.

No one is better than me, and I am TRYING to better myself, so don’t judge me.

I have been on the phone with the mortgage company, again. This is so fustrating! It is embarrassing enough to be behind without having to be transferred to representative after representative, trying to explain what your year has been like and why you have been late! I spent 45 mins today talking to them.

I think I need a drink. It's been one of THOSE days!

Yep... we all have them. I was almost late to work. I managed to make it through 8 hours of working steadily, yet never getting anything accomplished. Leaving work, I ran out of gas as soon as I pulled out of the parking lot. Waited for 45 mins for someone to bring me gas. Started pumping gas and TRANSACTION CANCELLED flashes repeatedly at me. I am pretty sure the gas pump is mocking me at this point. Of course, when I walk into the store to make sure it processed the little bit of gas I did purchase, the girl looks at me like I am the dumbest persom she has EVER seen (that just isn't nice). Then I get my daughter an hour later than I should have!

... and how rude that approx. 100 people passed me by as I was sitting on the side of the road (and YES, I knew some of them!!!) There will be heck to pay:)

Well...
It could always be worse... 
Things are gonna change I can feel it!

Urgh, It's already Monday!

The weekends go by so quickly. I would like to send a special thanks to Adderall* and Monster/Rockstar energy drinks for helping me survive Mondays!

Super Bowl

I love football! Yes, I am a female who loves to watch football. Not sure if I will stay up for the whole game tonight, but I am going to try. It kinda makes me sad to think that I'll have to wait until fall for the next game. Spring games just aren't the same. Oh well, guess I should be pumped since Nascar is starting up again.

Getting Honest with Myself -- MONEY

*
I guess there comes a time when you need to just suck it up, and admit your short comings to yourself.

I am aware of my imperfections, I just don't want to admit to them. I need to quite sugar coating everything to make myself feel better! I May be able to fool everyone around me, but it is time to say, I am a HOT MESS!

Independence

*
Independence, and not answering to anyone.
This can sound like fun, but if you are a single mom, you know better. Independence is a blessing and a curse. I did enjoy not having someone to boss me around...but I had NO clue all the responsibilities that came with it!

Single Again

*
So after being with someone for so long, here I was, SINGLE again.


It is so easy for people to say, "This is what you wanted."

EXCUSE ME?

I am pretty sure it isn't. I may have refused to live my life like that, but when I got married I wanted it to be forever. I didn't plan on divorce... Does anyone???

How did "I" get HERE???

*
Almost 2 1/2 years ago, I decided that thing were just not going to work out between my husband and I. .I can hardly believe it's been that long.

From the outside looking in, we were the "perfect" couple. We seemed to match perfectly. Both of us had good jobs when we met, dated for over a year, got married, built a house on a few acres in the country, even had the picket fence. We always travelled a lot, had cookouts and had fun mostly. Of course it wasn't perfect, but I never expected perfect.

For Now...

*
So, I have decided to make a plan, and for some crazy reason I want to blog about it. I like to write things out to see how much my mind set changes over periods of time, and to see if I'm actually moving foward, or losing control of my intentions. A lot of times, it is good for a laugh down the road.

I'm TRYING to get it Together!

*
Hello all,

"I'm trying to get it together " .....REALLY, I am!

I have decided to start to get my life straight, one day at a time, or as I love to call it, "Baby Steps." Don't get me wrong, I have a wonderful life, but who am I kidding???? It's HARD! I am a single mother to the most awesome 7 year old little girl. AND I just turned the big 3-0! Although I chose to be single again, after 7 years of marriage, I must say it sucks at times... in many, many ways.
