Beautifully-Human

I was just looking at my savings account and things are definitely not looking all that great. Lately I’ve been making my savings bleed. A few years ago when things were a lot different I never worried about money, but now it’s a huge burden to me. Well, not having money is. I remember a long time ago when I would be broke I would just have my mom transfer me some money from her account to mine. However, now that she’s ill and I’m the main person bringing in money I have no one to turn to in times of need. That’s really sad. I’ve had so many people tell me that they can rely on me but I’m not sure if I have anyone at all I can rely on. Financially, I mean. There’s no one I can go to for “balance transfers” the way I used to go to my mom. I guess that just makes me want to be even more independent!!

The other day my cousins came to visit us and we actually had a pretty good time. They stayed over for a while and watched television and ate some dinner that my mom had made. It was so good! I was surprised that I enjoyed their company so much because they usually get on my nerves. The only bad part was that I couldn’t stretch out on the couch the way that I wanted to. Usually I stretch out on the love seat and relax but this time I had to make room for my cousin. If my home was bigger I would definitely have a separate family room and media room. The media room would have a big screen television and also home theater chairs for comfort. Then I wouldn’t have to share my love seat!

When my aunt was in my town visiting us for Mother’s Day she got stranded over here because her car stopped working. I’m not exactly sure what the problem was but it had something to do with her car not being able to start. She thinks it’s an electric problem because the window wasn’t working and then water was getting into the car. Eventually it burned the car out. She’s so frustrated with the car that she just wants to buy a new one. I think that’s a bad idea. The car works perfectly except for that problem so I’m not sure why she doesn’t just find out what kind of auto parts it needs and take it to a mechanic. It seems to me that getting a new car is just a waste of money.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mother’s out there. Mother’s Day is one of the very few holidays that I buy into. Yes, I know it’s probably just another “Hallmark Holiday” and I don’t need a reason to celebrate my mom, but it’s nice that she gets her own day. I can’t wait until I become a mother so that I can enjoy this day as well. Our family is having a big Mother’s Day celebration today at my home. That should be fun… NOT. I’m kind of looking forward to the food and seeing my family, but I’m not looking forward to the noise and the damage the children are going to do to my home. Hopefully everyone will have a good time and my home will survive. I hope you guys have a great day as well!
