I have to say that, once again, I am tired. Imagine that. It’s been a loooong week, not 100% bad, but definitely a more difficult one. The highlight was the comedy show and the lowlight was dealing with baby daddy drama. I’m a very fortunate girl in that I have some great friends and family and a special someone on whom I can vent my frustrations and elations.
Today is Friday, a day that was given by the gods to tease us enough to push through this final 8 hours in order to enjoy the splendor that is sleeping in past the alarm clock, making an indulgent breakfast, and possibly enjoying that early morning snuggling we all love so much. I celebrate this day because, for a moment there, it looked as though it would not be coming. Not to say that I was expecting the world to spontaneously combust, but because I had a small fear in my heart that I just might blow up into the tiniest of pieces, too small to be put back together, very UN-like Humpty Dumpty. However, by the grace of God, I have survived, and will have another day to impart my not-so-intelligent wisdom on the masses.
This weekend should be especially nice for two reasons; 1 - I’m NOT playing softball & 2 - the government. I know, I know - that’s an odd combination, and incredibly unlike me. I will elaborate, just a little, ‘cuz you asked. The fact that I’m not playing a sport that I love this weekend would normally be a downer, but I’m in need of a break. I was planning on a big weekend in Atlanta, leaving today and returning home Sunday, hopefully with a first place trophy on my team’s wall o’ wins. Well, with the price of gas and the cost of a hotel, food and any fun I might want to have, my poorly little pockets would not allow for this expenditure at this point in time, so I bailed. Sucks, but I had to - I still have to get back and forth to work for the next couple weeks ’til I get another infusion to my wallet, called a paycheck. Second, the gov’t came through on my tax rebate this morning- big freakin’ whoop. I get an advance on next year’s return, so I guess I’m not too mad and it’s coming at a good time, but I’ve already canceled the ATL trip, so I’m going to chill in good old Charlotte for the weekend and try not to spend it.
Hopefully this weekend will be a good one, and it’s looking like I might get some adult time, though I’m not sure how much. I’m excited for that, but I will try my best to stay the responsible, upstanding citizen that you all think I am.
