Am I a Terrible Person?

I just found out my co-worker is pregnant. I am happy for her...but I feel like I will never get there. She is happily married to a great guy, and now she is pregnant. I guess I should just make her my "poster woman"; that I won't settle for anything less.

It's never wrong to want something "normal". And we should never lower our standards. oh heck.......I don't know what I'm trying to say here.......lol.
Lots of hugs.......Ilka
I feel so alone here. I don't have many friends that live around here. Okay, one. My really good friend is moving this Saturday.
I feel as if people from high school have moved on and I am still in one spot. Sigh

If it makes you feel any better, I'm 31, in the middle of my second divorce, with 3 kids, and I'm living in my parents house depending on them for support (plus child support from "the good ex.") I don't have a job, I don't have any real career skills, I'm trying to start my own business but the last few weeks I've been too sick to work.
I look at my single friends and envy their financial independence. I look at the ones who've been married for 3-4 years and have 1 baby they can easily afford with even more envy. I feel like I've totally screwed up my life by having kids so early (I was 22 when Leah was born) rather than getting settled in a career first.
I think the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. You're not a bad person for feeling envy- feelings are never "bad"- it's now you act on them that counts.

Pamela,
You are not a terrible person at all so dont even go there with that you are a great warm loving person.
Sometimes when good things happen to people around us yes we are happy for them but at the same time we kinda wish that we could have those good things happen to us.
You will be there one day sometimes you just gotta have patience.
Sorry I am not full of insight today but hang in there dont settle for less and have hope.
