Too Soon?

Today is March 17th 2012 - also known as St. Patrick's Day - and the thermometer says it's 80 degrees out. No, I didn't move to California. I'm in Illinois. It's way too soon for it to be this warm. Where was out Spring? We jumped from Winter to Summer. WTF.

Anyway, I need to get some things straightened in my life right now. For whatever reason, I feel the need to write these things down.

1. Safe Rite doesn't care about me. They don't care about anyone they find jobs for. They only care about the money they make and filling positions in the businesses that need positions filled. You ask for a day off or say no one time, you're on a red flag radar to them. 

2. Friendships fade. I know it's super cliche, but it's true. I thought my one friend and I were going to be BFF's forever. We're still friends, and we still tell each other everything, but now she has her own little family and I'm always busy. The connection is fuzzy at best right now. It makes me sad.

3. School is for building a foundation to your career. Especially college. I shouldn't be taking classes just because they sound fun or interesting. I think I need to focus on working until I get my stuff paid off. Then I can quit Safe Rite and their stupid temp services and keep working at the Pope Home. I look forward to working here, that's good enough for me. I don't need anyone's approval or opinions about how old/young you should be to be working here. It doesn't matter. I like it. Do I want to do this the rest of my life? Not really.

4. What I want to do is be a wife and a mom. I want to have my own little family. I want a Pomeranian. I want a bunny. I want a kid, maybe two. I want to have thriving, happy fishies in a big tank. I want to find a house with the love of my life and life there until we need/want to upgrade.

You know you really want something when that's all you can do is think about it.
