So anyway, this week’s been an odd one.  I knew that once the baby was here, I was gonna have to move out of my brother’s house.  Feb. 1 to be exact.  Well, I still can’t afford to be on my own so once again I have to rely on my mom for help.  Kind of pathetic seeing as I’m 25 tomorrow.  I’m well into my adult years and yet I still can’t manage to stay standing on my own two feet very long.  It’s not that I’m irresponsible or anything.  Quite the opposite actually.  It’s just that once I hit a few bumps in the road, I can’t seem to get myself back on track.

So how is Mom helping me out this time?  Well paying for 3 out of 4 weeks in an extended stay hotel suite.  After that, if I still haven’t saved up enough to be on my own yet, then she’ll park their RV up here and let me live with her as long as I need to.  She wants to do that anyway because she wants to be near her new grandbaby.  It’s secretly my hope that she’ll be away from her husband for that time and realize she’s better off without his fat ass.  She’s always wanted to move back closer to her brothers and sisters anyway.

I’ve been so tempted to just move back to Colorado.  It’s because I started talking to my ex again and we thought we should give it another try.  I would’ve had to deal with having my family’s disapproval.  In fact Scott and Lisa said that if I did go back to him they (and “other people”) would tell my mom why I left him in the first place.  That’s the last thing I need her to know.  I’ve done a good job of sheltering her from that, and I want it to stay that way.  It’s just frustrating when things aren’t working out with Chris like I had hoped and dating around isn’t my thing.  25 tomorrow and still single with no change on the horizon.  I’m tired of people telling me that I’m still young and being single isn’t something I need to worry about.  Everyone who says that has someone!!!  I know that I could choose to be happy regardless, but it’s easier said than done.

Crap, I wasn’t intending to turn this into a “poor Tiffany” post.  Hmmm……how to end on a happier note? Uhh….it’s snowing again.  Crazy Seattle weather.  I thought I left the yucky driving behind when I left Colorado.  At least it’s purdy =)
