04-5-2009 - Stress mixed with worry

My mood while writing this blog: ehh

Today I think maybe I'm being a little hormonal. Or maybe it's just that I'm letting things get to me. I don't know.

I've been feeling lately like I've lost so many friends. Even friends that my husband and I were both close to are apparently not understanding the fact that we have way more responsibilities than them and are going to be parents soon! It's like, I'm 21 and yes that's young. But we;ve been married for almost 2 years and even before that I had my own apartment and paid for all my own stuff, etc. I love my parents and my family and I chose to do things the way I did. It taught me to appreciate things I had and work hard for what I wanted. Now I feel like it's all coming back to kick me in the butt. Most of our friends still live at home and maybe half of them work jobs. None of them get the place we're in in our lives. It's so frustrating for them to tell us to call into work for this or that and when we do invite them over it's like we're their parents.

On top of that and just the normal stress factors in life (money, work, etc), this whole swine flu or H1N1 virus thing has gotten to me. I was always the person who was thinking that it was everyone overreacting and whatnot but now several school districts near me have closed for several cases of it and my little brother got a letter home today stating that although there are no known cases yet, with how fast it's spreading, expect the district to be closed within the next month or so. Also, my uncle has had all the symptoms for severla days now and is going to the ER to find out if it is the swine flu or not. I work in a salon and I'm so worried...

Anyone with any encouraging words would be so great right now...

God bless.
