I’m So Tired of Being a Grown-Up


h1 May 4th, 2005

It’s weird… at the same time that I don’t really feel like I’m an adult, I am SO tired of being a grown-up.

I hate paying rent and utilities and credit card bills and student loans, watching my bank account balance dwindle. I’m tired of waking up every morning at 6:45, and then having to go to work for eight hours. I’m sick of my slowing-down metabolism, that requires me to actually work out if I want to fit into my clothes. I’m fed up with saying, “No, I can’t go out tonight. I have to work tomorrow,” and being tired on Friday nights when I should want to party. I can’t stand the voice in my head that asks me if I’ve had enough fruit or vegetables today.

Sigh. I need a nap.

  1. Dear Anna,
    Please take comfort in two facts:

    1. I will always be much, MUCH older than you.

    2. I say “smuggling peas” ALL THE TIME now and always give you credit. Wicked pissah.

    If neither of those helps, I suggest renting the SpongeBob movie and watching it with a bottle of red wine. See, kids can’t do THAT! HA! (Well, they kinda shouldn’t, anyway…nevermind.)

  2. Haha- very funny helen! And yeah Anna, I’m all set with this grown up business too. It’s lame. I’m quitting. And I’m taking my toys with me!
