Responsibility................

It sucks, but Its life. I dont get how some people dont realize that people have responsibilites. Some people have bills and nope, my family isnt rich and doesnt financially support me, im a grown woman and support myself. Its hard to have to work and go to school = both full time
But i do it because i have to, because i need to, because its apart of life and even though i may complain... its something that has to be done. I dont get how some people get so aggrevated or say i dont have time for them... Its not because i dont want too, its because i cant!

School from 8:00-4:30 and rush to work, change and be at work at 5:00- 10:30 all week long
Work every other weekend = sat and sun 12:15-10:15 and one weekend a month im at school from 7:00am to 3:30 sat and sunday... and the days i do get off or have some free time, i try and spend it will Kris if he isnt at work...

Its only one more year till graduation and it will be so much better when im done, but it seems everyone thinks im such a bad person because i cant be the Good friend or daughter or BFF or whatever. I cant just up and do like old times or like other people.
Even in school, everyone else gets to go home and hang out and have fun and go to ATL for 5 days and i cant, have to work and pay bills, to me its not a big deal, its my life, kris and i have nice things and work hard to keep them, even while i go to school... but people dont understand that

What you are doing Lauren is setting yourself up for life. Yes, other people may have jobs, but do they have a career? Doing something that they love? Going to school (plus working) is a 100% full time sacrifice. But, you are doing the best thing you can for you and your family. It used to be that the man provided and the little woman stayed home and kept house. In today's world, you HAVE to have a two-income household in order to survive. If you want to have nice things, send your kids to college, etc, its impossible to do on only one salary. Hell, most people can't even pay the mortgage on just one salary. So, keep the big picture in mind, my friend. Don't lose sight of the finish line and you will do great. I have complete faith in you!
