Being a Grown-up

Just for the record I want to state that being a Grown-up really just SUCKS! I woke up this morning exhausted! Exhausted because I have been working between 10-15 hours of Overtime every week for the past 4 weeks and will continue to do so for probably the next 3-4 weeks. Of course it works out well because then I can pay my dental bills in cash instead of finance the cost (who knew that 3 lousy white fillings would cost me $367???) and then my little man is starting on his journey on a long and hard dental road - similar to myself at this age. He's having 4 baby teeth pulled on Monday and more in his near future to make room for the very large adult teeth that will most definately require braces. Poor kid inherited my big teeth in a mouth too small to hold them all!

I have been discussing being a grown-up with A. who very recently has also come to grips with her own financial issues and we have decided that being responsible and actually taking care of your business just plain SUCKS!

However - being the grown-up that I am I will get up at the ungodly hour of 6am again tomorrow and trudge to the office and work until 5 - getting my OT hours in before my office decides they don't need to pay the time and a half anymore. And hand over that precious cash to the dentist on Monday with a very tight smile!
