Tad bit Testy

I'm just ready for this summer to be done. Don't get me wrong there's quite a bit of fun and exciting and important stuff happening this summer. I am just so ready to be starting the next chapter in my life. Yes I know to most it seems like just another year of college, but for me personally it's a whole new chapter. I mean it's like the home stretch, I'm finally there! So with everything going on in my life and having to pay off some old debts I'm feeling a little testy. For the last six years I haven't really had to think too much about money problems. All of a sudden my savings account is empty and my bank account is bare. It's not even so much not having the money, its the having to actually monitor my spending. Not being able to say hey I love that, I'll take it! I don't really even have the money to spend on the "I need that for the next stage of my life" type things. However, I did just buy the cutest pair of mary-jane flats!!! I got a heck of a deal and I have been looking for a pair for... well forever!
On top of all of this I feel as if I'm about to snap. Not all the time, but just randomly I feel extremely agitated and find myself snapping at people. I hate it because I don't realize I'm doing it until after the damage is done, but at the same time I'm still hesitant to stand up to the people who are really the ones who are agitating me. I know most of this likely makes no sense what so ever, but here it is anyway.
I have a very long day at work tomorrow, followed by a long drive back to Hillsboro to attend a bridal shower for Carissa. Somewhere in there I have to find a gift too!!! Oh, did I mention that both of my checks for this month total less than two hundred dollars? Yeah seriously that sucks, I guess I'll be working myself to the bone for the month of August. :)

A rarity in my world

So for the first time in a long time I had a great day at work today! Really and truly. I was scheduled for a simple 5 hour shift working lunch breaks, which really means I run around and do a bit of everything. We had an all girl crew for the managers, which means a great day for me. I get along with all of the female managers so it's nice when they're the ones who are working. When I was almost off they asked if I could stay late, which was kinda nice, since I could kinda use the money right about now, so of course I said yes. So I'm just now home, and I love that it wasn't even dark when I got here. I have to be up bright and early for an 8 am meeting and work 12-9 tomorrow, followed by girls day on Sunday so I'm off to get ready for bed!!
