THIS is Your Life!

All I have to say right now, is that this better not be my life for the rest of my life.  I can’t follow this path.  I just can’t do it.

Hubby asked me if I wanted to go down to Madison 2 weeks from now for an extended weekend to visit some of his friends.  My first thought was, “where’s the fun for me?” but I pushed that from my mind because I know how much he misses his guy friends all the time. 

Quickly I decided that I would like to do that because I may get to cruise with my friends, but remembered that I have to work on Monday the 1st.  I’m picking up shifts, 1) because we need coverage that day, and 2) we need money like Whoa.  Hubby looks at me like I just shat on his world.

I CAN’T be sorry about this.  I had the option of working a day shift, when I usually work nights, so that was a bonus right away.  I get time and a half because it’s a holiday and the extra money will be very helpful.

Now that I remember, I have Book Club on that Saturday.  I REFUSE to feel bad about this because I don’t have friends here.  There, I said it.  I am wallowing in a friendless pit of despair and bordom.  I do NOTHING with my free time except clean the house and take care of the dogs.  It’s driving me crazy.  I don’t want to vernture out because we have a lot of bills to pay off, and I don’t think a day at the spa (or a shopping spree, or a tank of gas to see my family, etc.) would be very condusive to our getting out of debt.  I just don’t know what to do with myself anymore.  I desperately want to have fun and I am holding myself back.

I can’t stand it here right now, I’m so angry at everyone.  Shut up shut up SHUT UP!

  1. :( Hang in there. Life has it’s way of smoothing itself out. Just give it time.

  2. I’m right there with you, it will get better though. I mean, you’re Christin, good luck just comes your way. And don’t worry, I miss you guys all the time too, I think we just notice it more when we can’t distract ourselves with frivolous things like shopping or leaving our house without fear of going broke. Love you hon, feel better. :)

  3. I love you, too. It will get better.I can really sympathize with your feelings right now regarding friends and money. I felt like that for a very long time after I moved here and I’ve just recently started to come out of it. It will get better. I promise. I miss you and love you. Feel better.

  4. I knew that if anyone would understand and give me some kind words it would be my Friends. Thanks ladies, I am feeling a lot better. It was just a horrible, awful, no-good, very bad week.

  5. [...] I really need is to make some friends.  As stated in this post, I am sorely lacking in the way of good, dependable girl friends now that I have graduated.  I [...]
