I have allowed myself to lose my focus over the past few months and once again tried to take on a persona that is not really me. Who I really am, I’m still not so sure. I am re-reading all my simple living books to refresh my mind.

I am trying to take this goal very seriously again. I have been way off in the ditch for months now. I will cut myself some slack since I have been going through a divorce and struggling with a lot in general, however, the pity party is officially over and no more excuses are acceptable. I have got to start working to get myself out of this mess. I am 38 years old and I need to get my financial plan together. I am going to have no more credit card debt by the end of this year, and I am going to have my car paid for by May of 2010. I am going to get out of debt and stay that way if it kills me. I have been selling on eBay again and taking stuff to pawn shops and consignment shops to bring in a little money. The main thing is to change my thinking and my m.o. right down to my core. I must become a new person that is mature and responsible. Impulse spending and irresponsibility is no longer an option for this girl.
I went to the interview today. I kept debating all day whether or not to go. I am not going to take the job even if I could have it, however, they do something wierd. They asked me to call them to tell them tomorrow if I still want to be considered for the job. So I have to call them rather than wait for them to call me. I would not be accomplishing all of my goals by going there. My number one priority would be getting to a school where my son is going to be and closer to home. This job would accomplish neither of these objectives. I hate to turn them down, but I have to. I am not unhappy where I am so I’m not going to move just for the sake of moving. I just dread calling them. Oh well, I just it’s just another thing that makes it suck to be a grownup…
