I want, I want, I want

I'm at work still.

I mean, I would normally be at work still because on Tues. I work til 6, but today I will be working until 8. Covering sick supply for a coworker

I don't mind doing it except for the fact that I believe I am AGAIN pms'ing. Could I possibly be pms'ing again and doesn't it seem like I pms 2 weeks out of the month?

But, seriously, people are driving me completely insane today...

If you order a book or movie to be sent from another library branch and it comes in and you get the computerized phone call telling you that the item is in...DON"T call me to ask me what it is that's in for you. Whatever it is, it's something YOU ASKED FOR!! What difference would it make if you knew the exact, specific item?

Your killin' me, people.

Apropos of nothing...I would like to be rich. Not even filthy rich. Just rich enough so that if I wanted to spend 3 or 4 thousand dollars on something I would only have to wait for a month or so and then have enough to take the sting out of the purchase. You know, that kind of rich. I am becoming tired of wanting and dreaming of stuff knowing that I'm probably not gonna get it soon, if at all.

In years past when we were flush with cash or at least both working and less children to feed and clothe I never spent money.

I'm talking I very rarely get my haircut professionally. I don't do manicures or pedicures (except for the two pedicures I got this year - the year of my 40th birthday). I don't buy expensive clothes. I only own about 10 pairs of shoes. We haven't had a *new* car since we were newly married. We have no car payment right now. The only thing we really owe is our mortgage.

I feel like we should be able to splurge and get motorcycles or a hot tub or something AND simultaneously I feel guilty about thinking that way AND I feel like saying no when we talk about those splurgy purchases.

Am I freakin' psychotic or what?

Yes, yes I am.
