Well, this is hard for me to admit but I figure if I say it to someone it's the first step toward change, I am a spoiled brat.

Tomorrow I start my new job, 8-4:30, answering phones, filing papers....my jeans days few and far between. Even though I am grateful for the job I have been so fortunate for so many years. All my life actually. Now I have to work, and budget money, and try to save. Everything has always been provided for me and now I can only count on me. I am not very reliable.

I am scared for the first time in my life. I cannot have what I want, I am having a hard time just getting what I need. I got a job just in the nick of time. God is good to me.

Well, tomorrow is the first day of my new life and I just wanted to come share my feelings. I have to go to bed, I have also lost the luxury of living on my own schedule, no more late nights.

Somebody shoot me please.

Caly, that was great, thank you so much! You are so talented. I can't believe you wrote that at 4am! I can't do anything at 4am, especially not write good poetry!

Mandi, your post made me smile - what wonderful advice! You are such a mom, lol! I loved it. Did you ever read the book called "All I needed To Know I Learned in Kindergarden"? Your advice reminded me of that book. Sometimes the best advice is the simple stuff we tell our children. Thanks Mandi!
Hugs, Sandra
