I am SOOO tired!  I worked 10-3 and then I started babysitting at 6, it's now 11:15 so I'm super duper tired.  Luckily I can sleep in (somewhat) tomorrow.  I am really excited about the money though, becaue I am getting Brian some badass Christmas presents :) Yay!!  Actually I love giving presents more than the receiving part.  I think it's because I put so much time, effort, and thought into gifts (at least for him anyway lol) and so I like to see how much the person enjoys what I got them.  I can't wait for him to open them!! :) hehe! anyway...

I am doing really well with budgeting my money.  I am saving (not just for my horribly priced car insurance) but also savings that I don't touch and let grow and earn interest.  I'm starting small, obviously, but I know that I have to start somewhere! lol  I have like 10 envelopes of money at home, all for different expenses, but I am doing super well at allocating my money.  I even made a payment on my debt to my mom :) (thank god cause I still owe her $1,800).  My next concern is paying Brian back for my tattoo.  He fronted me the money for it when we went to Vegas but I still owe him around $180ish (I think).  So I gotta start up on paying him back and try to get that debt out of the way...  I just never ever ever want to borrow money from anyone under any circumstance EVER again.  I hate owing people money.  Cause I know even though he hasn't brought the topic up, I know the money is on his mind....grrrr 

I have so much shit to do for Wednesday, all these assignments and teaching activites  and a huge final project (which I've been working on) but it's just so stressful!  I just have to get through Wednesday, and then the following Thursday when my finals are over, but then I will have a BREAK!! yay! :)

When I get tired, I get emotional and so I'm so lonely sitting here in a quiet house at night by myself (the kids are asleep) and it's raining outside, it just makes me want my bed, or brian's bed, or yeah, my warm cozy bed. :)  I miss Brian and I don't want to wait til Monday to see him.  I am SO inpatient and I want to see him NOW.  I swear I turn into a three year old when I am sleep deprived, it's horrible I know :) lol

Anyways, I'm going to do some more Christmas shopping and get a pedicure tomorrow so I have a great day to look forward to (I keep telling myself that, anyway lol) :)  So I just gotta keep my head up and keep on keepin' on. :)
