Mommy.... wow! I'm. A. Grown. Up. Now.

OMG. I don't even know who I am anymore. Today, after the last straw with my living situation, I went out and investigated some one bedroom apartments around town. I think I had finally had it and I snapped. Anyway, after looking at about 5, I found one that I just could not pass up. So I did what any normal 29-year old that's discovering herself would do. I put a deposit down on it. Why the hell not?

My lease in the present living situation ends August 31 and my original plan, when I was with the ex, was to get a one bedroom. My hope, at that time, was to move in with him. Obviously that didn't happen and I was stuck living in my present place because, honestly, I was afraid of being alone after everything. I knew I didn't want to do another 1-year lease here, I was hoping to do month-to-month or even a 6-month, but getting my own place wasn't in my cards anymore. But recently (and with the last straw event), I've considered it again. So I did it.

So here's my schedule for the next 2 months:

• Spanish class from now until Wednesday, August 6 (oh, P.S., I decided to take a Spanish class so as to fill my summer's free time with something worthwhile). Did I mention it's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 8am to 12:25 pm.? Yeeeaahhh....
• Prepare my classroom for my next class the week of August 11-15. Oh and pack my stuff from this place.
• Celebrate my 30th with some of the ladies on August 16-17.
• My real 30th, August 18
• Rome to Athens, August 19- Friday, August 29.
• Start my new school year Tuesday, September 2.
• Move into my very own one bedroom apartment Sunday, September 7.

Remember when I was worried about being alone and sad all summer? What happened to that? Oh wait, I finally grabbed my life by the horns and took control. God it feels great.
