VENTING...

Sometimes it's hard working full time

It's really hard working overtime just so we can have a little extra $$$ for the holidays

Sometimes I feel like I have to listen to everyone else's problems at work (well what would you say if a girl told you she was thinking about leaving her husband....?)

It's hard coming up with something decent to eat for dinner.

When I don't cook a veggie or fruit with dinner, I feel like I failed the whole thing.

Also. When I don't set the table, or if we eat on the couch, I feel like I failed.

I wish our apartment could stay clean forever.

I wish I didn't have places where I just throw junk and don't look at it again until the apartment gets super messy.

I hate that a portion of my hard-earned money has to go to the government.

I worry a lot about being a good mother.

I want to be someone my children respect. I want them to feel confident asking for advice.  I hope I can comfort them the way they need it. But....parent first, friend later.

The check engine light alwaaaayyysss comes on whenever we drive through the canyon.  I hate it and it makes me nervous.

This rant probably sounds like no big deal to some people. That's OK.  It feels good just to write it all out.

I wish I could have a meal planned 7 days per week all the time (although I would, if I could afford it, eat out every meal of my life and not feel bad about it).

There are 3 pregnant girls at work right now...all due within weeks of each other.  One in particular reeealllly annoys me.

I would like to know what the rest of my life will be like.

I don't know what it is, but I am really curious about peoples' stories....why they're here, how they got here, what struggles are they facing, what makes them them (I love the show "Story Trek" on BYU TV).

When I should be doing more important things, you can usually find me looking at ideas for decorating (Pinterest obviously.)

I wish I had more time to paint.

It's depressing to come home from work when it's dark.

I just want to know that everything will be alright in the end.

I struggle to find time for everything while still being faithful with scripture reading, prayers, and time to ponder.

Done.  No, I'm not depressed, just needed to get that offa my chest.  I feel better now.
