Rough Days

Well clearly it's been awhile. Things here have been....for a lack of a better word BLAH.

Working two jobs still. Which isn't that bad. I can live with that. What I can't live with is that I work two jobs and still have no money.

People where has all the money gone?! A friend of mine commented to me that "You have to be rich to enjoy the amusement parks, and fairs these days." And isn't that turning into the truth. My family used to do that with us all the time, "cheap vacations," yeah not so much any more. Games are $5 or more, rides-hmpf forget it.
I did an expense report on my household, working the two jobs, my car loan, rent, electric and ect. I'm IN THE HOLE!!!! Just with the necessary expenses, not extras. Now I know I'm not living outside my means because honestly I know I'm broke. (Just stating the fact, not trying to illicit sympathy.) I get paid more then minimum wage. I work 40 hours a week, pay my taxes and everything just like the next Joe.

My question though is, why are things so expensive? If we are ALL broke, across the nation, then why are we paying so much for shit? Food, gas, ect. It's been suggested to "coupon clip", lol okay fine. But I don't want THREE of something to get the discount. I want one. See what I'm getting at? You have to spend 2x more then what you would to get a .75 discount? I'll just take one thanks.
I know that I'm not the only one that is broke. But guess what, your reading my blog so I'm allowed to bitch! :)

On a positive side of this note, I'm starting my Bachelors Degree come hell or high water in September. :) I'm very, very excited about this time, I feel like even though I'm working full time I still need this for me. To educate myself of course, and to get myself into the job I want.

Lil Momma starts school in a little over a month. I'm very anxious about this. I know she's going to do well. She's going to learn so much so quickly, and she's going to flourish with all these new friends :) But I also know that going to school comes, the learning from other children. Santa's not real, or the Easter Bunny. What drugs are, christ what SEX is. I know I know, it's just kindergarten right?! You rode the public school bus? MMMMMMMMHMMMMM That's what I thought. I learned everything I needed on the playground and on the bus. I'm cutting some of this by a little because I'm dropping her off and picking her up, we live across the street why even try to convince the bus garage to pick her up before they turn into the driveway of the school.

I just know that this is the end of what is the innocence of my Lil Momma. The years are going to fly by and before I know it my little girl, will be a little woman. And I will be clinging to the memory of her going to kindergarten.

LOL I know that ya'll must be laughing at me right now. As I'm laughing at myself for writing this. But it's something that is weighing on me. And after all :) This is my blog!
