Growing up = pain in the ass

Any witty sociaal commentary I was hoping to make with this blog seems to have been thrown out the window this week. When I read the daily papers not much jumps out and catches my attention because my head is swirling. Although I did notice that Leah McLaren's column jumped right back into a pile of crap. Some of her recent columns haven't been as stupid but I don't actually think today's made zero sense.
So my head is swirling. I recently accepted a job, which should be a very happy moment and I should be dancing on the ceiling but I'm not. I'll be working at the Wellington Times, a weekly in a rural area near Belleville. Now I have no move and re-organize my life in far too short a period of time and nothing seems to be going my way. I went out there to try to find a place to live and that didn't go well. I saw an apartment and I like it but the landlord is making me jump through several hoops to approve me, not unexpected but a pain because of course I can't get any of the paper work he wants until Monday. On top of this I need to acquire a vehicle. All of the this makes dollar signs dance through my head. So I've had to swallow some pride and accept some help from my parents, which I hate.
So all the craziness that goes hand in hand with moving anytime is tripled because it's on short notice and in another town. And I've had to swallow a lot of pride to accept help from my folks, so if you see me and I look frazzled, frustratetd and on the verge of tears, I apologize but that the way it is right now.
I have to laugh at myself a little because this growing up process has has an interesting affect on me. Last week I was frustrated and crying because I had no job and thought I was going nowhere. This week have a job and still I'm frustrated and crying because it seems like there's too much to do. I've never cried/wanted to cry so much in my life. I think I should invest in a mood stablizer!
This is life. And in the words of someone I once knew, I have to suck it up princess and get on with it.
