As my life is not ALL sparkles and rainbows, neither is this blog. Hence why I haven't blogged in over four weeks. Don't get me wrong! It hasn't been all bad in the least bit. Just nothing much to talk about.
Matt is doing very well in school, and I admire him for working to support us through this time as well. I know plenty of husbands that believe it is just fine to live off the government during school, and am blessed that I am not married to one of them.
At this particular moment in time, at 8:02am on this October morning, I'm feeling utter exhaustion. I love my job. I've managed to pick up 13 classes a week (plus misc hours) I wish there was an opportunity for more. (possibly in January.) Since there is not, and I must atone for my miss spent youth, I work at Walmart on the weekends, and I continue to dread it every day of the week.
I'm not sure *exactly* what it was I did to deserve the punishment of giving up my weekends (and watching everyone else enjoy theirs) for minimum wage, and working on the worst shopping days of the year. But the real kicker is that even though Matthew and I work ourselves to the point of exhaustion, we probably won't be able to afford the small fortune it will cost to go home AFTER the holidays.
Alright, I think my bitch fest is finally over. I am very grateful for one of my jobs and Matthew is grateful for his. We are able to live a humble, yet very comfortable lifestyle with minimal debt. But if I am being forced (yes, forced. There are no other jobs. I've checked. And after 5 years I'm tired of working two jobs) to work at Walmart, I'm going to do it kicking and screaming the whole time :)
