3 a.m. things that still bother me in daylight.

• Money. As in, taxes and tuition. We haven't paid income taxes on a minor chunk o' change this year. Which is gonna kick our asses. And I don't know how I'll apply for financial aid, how that will come out, since Andrew does have a full time job. And if we don't get enough financial aid, I don't know how I'm going to work and go to school.

• Time. I have this part-time gig I do from home (the gig on which I haven't paid income taxes, or, stupidly, saved in order to pay income taxes). But it takes time, of which I'm rapidly running out. And again, once school starts, how can I keep doing it? Then there's another meta-time issue that's eating at me. I'm 30, and just starting a new career path and want to have kids some day and how does this all work in?

• Money. Oh, and I'd like to buy a house someday, and aren't kids expensive? And we have no savings.

• School. It hasn't started yet, and I'm worrying.

• Money. And I'd like to buy a DVD once in a while, maybe some new shoes?

• Dog. She is getting on my last nerve today too. Little Whiney McFollowMeAroundpherson.

• Work. I have a lot to do, and only a few hours. Ack! So why am I writing this????
