Sometimes Being an Adult Sucks

Do you ever wish that you were back in college just going to class, working part time, and doing homework? The most important thing in life seemed to be finding the perfect weekend plans while managing to find time to work in homework and studying. Thinking back to college it felt like I never had enough time in the day but man was I delirious. I had all the time in the world back then and I didn't even realize it, nor did I seem to ever fathom that later on in life I'd find out what having serious responsiblities and being busy "really" meant. Well I'm here in the real world as an adult with real responsibilities and experiencing what busy really means, and I have to say sometimes I just want to run and scream and go back in time to when life wasn't really busy.

After work I went out to my car and it wouldn't start. It turned over and really acted like it wanted to start but it just wouldn't. I walked home, luckily I was at the elementary school pretty close to my house, and called the nearest dealership. The guy there was really nice and took all my information. Then I called my roadside assistance so that I could get a tow truck to tow the car to the dealership. I drove back to the school (meanwhile it started raining pretty hard) and waited for the tow truck. After standing in the rain to get everything all squared away the tow truck left with my car. The guy from the dealership is going to call tomorrow with the report as to what's wrong. I work tomorrow and it's at a school that's farther away from the house so R is going to have to drive me which means loading up the kids at 8am so that I can get to work and then picking me up in the afternoon.

I'm happy that I was able to get everything taken care of and after tomorrow the schools have Friday through Monday off so I won't have to worry about getting to work for the next four days. Work today was really good. I had a first grade class and there were only 20 kids in the class but two were absent. It was nice just having 18 kids all day. The kids were really good too, so that was really nice. R got his final e-mail today and can begin subbing so hopefully we'll be able to have my mom come down and both work for a couple weeks before she goes back to work full time.

R is getting SUPER frustrated because he still hasn't heard anything from the job in Chic.ago. I sure wish he would just hear one way or the other. I'm pretty much just making myself believe that it's a no go because then if he does end up getting it I'll be that much more excited, but if he doesn't then I'll have set myself up and be prepared for the disappointment. It will be three weeks on Friday since he's interviewed which seems like more than enough time to tell him one way or the other. Pray that we hear something soon, even if it's not good news at least we'll know.
