Welcome to What I Call Life?

So I guess this is it? Is this what I grew up waiting for?

I Really Do Have a Lot To be Greatful For!

I Have been wasting time on facebook like I often do when I am at work and it is a quiet evening. This evening in my last Tuesday night in the Library and of course tomorrow is the last day for Finals so it’s dead in here.
I realized tonight as I was "creeping" on friends that I do have a lot to be grateful for.
I might be having a hard time financially and I might be upset that life hasn’t really turned out the way that I would have liked... when does it ever? Is crying about a 60+ thousand student loan debt and a lack of full time employment really something to cry about?
No, it’s not. I will say that sure sometimes life sucks for me, I have bad days. I wish I could go shopping and buy nice things for my home and for my family. I wish I could go out for family suppers more, and maybe drink a little more wine... but I really can't complain when I see newlyweds facing cancer and people with wee little babies not going to get to see them grow up perhaps. There is always hope, and I do my share of praying (I don't care if you believe in god or gods but there is someone everyone prays to). The thing is I see sadness everywhere, I see people who are facing some really hard times and they seem to be taking everything with stride.
Here I am I feel so pitiful at times, am I really that selfish?
I mean sure it sucks not knowing if my bills are getting paid in full, or even meeting minimum payments. It sucks having to buy clothes at second hand stores (not because it’s cool but because we have no choice, but it is still cool). Having to maybe have a cheap ass wedding with tithe justice of the peace instead of what I really wanted to do. (We wanted to do).
So smile, you’re alive.
I'm alive, I have a wonderful fiancé who makes me smile every day (even when I am mad at him), I have a child that makes me want to give him brothers and sisters until my baby box breaks. I never thought I could love children so much.
Life is beautiful, it really is I’m not trying to e sappy or sentimental but we just need to be positive about things.
I was having a rough while, I was sick, I missed time at school, soon to be unemployed, didn't get the job I wanted, had a bad experience at work... etc, I was feeling like I was in a big black hole and that I was getting sucked in hard and fast.
Turns out I had a really optimistic feeling yesterday, I wrote my Economics Final and I said hey I feel good. UNIVERSE I FEEL GOOD, yea....
Then I found out that I can get my student loan extended to cover the 2 month term coming up, so I can start my 2nd and 3rd degree in the next few weeks. I don't need to take a year off or to find work.
I’m going back to school, I am going to take two course (all I can take as I reached the cap of what can be transferred to my new degree in Sept), and then I am going to babysit over the summer months and enjoy my son and some other kids (the ones I am sitting obviously lol), and then gear up for September full time school again for X number of years full throttle fall, winter, spring, and summers until I have my BA/BEd. That’s the plan Stan!
So I really have nothing to complain about do I? Nope!
Even my Kitty has faith in me, he was helping me study. Keeping the books in my bag warm.
