when did I become an adult?

OK so this past week has been very busy for us. These are old photos not from 2 years ago but about 7 months ago. ( my camera date is wrong I have since fixed it) OK I started to notice a foul smell coming from the little Chihuahua we named Brit Brit ( yes after yours truly herself the great Britney Spears HAHA) ANyway I heard a rattle in the puppy's belly to discover my youngest Presley had been feeding her food to Brit Brit and it has been rotting for some time in the dog, at the end of the day there were 3 carrots, popcorn, pistachio nuts and some cereal in her belly! I bring this up because again the other day i find more food in little Brit I guess my Presley knows how much shit Britney really likes to eat!!!! Anyway last week I started school as well as babysitting as well as adjusting to our new home... we now live near civilization people! SO that is fabulous!~ But selling our mansion was the best decision.... for Sam to drive to work and back was insane! Did I say Mansion? LOL oh no it just seemed that way since the power bill was enormous can you imagine paying $300-$350 a month in power alone? Yeah totally nuts, but we were totally trying to keep up with the Jones's. It seemed our whole life we were told to buy the big house and the cars and you would be happy and since Sam and I did start off so young at 18, this was very quick for us to realize as reality. We bought our first house at 21 and 2 years sold it for a great amount over what we bought it and than bought our second house, and really we were not thinking at some point I would not be working to finish off school... 2 1/2 years came quick again and we were like oh shit I cant continue to work and go to nursing school( if you know anything about nursing school it is extremely hard and demanding and highly recommended not working at all while you are in due to clinical and lab hours as well as studying) SO we made the big step for me to quit my job, sell the house, trade in both the excursion and F150 for a littler economy friendly vehicle(as well as gas money friendly) held off on more kids for now, basically Lots and lots of sacrifices, just for me to finish these last 4 semesters! SO why am I writing all this is because I am so excited to have started the first of the 4 semesters and it is awesome! So far my class is challenging but I actually get it and that is the best especially since math was never my forte! I am so proud of myself as well as my husband for making these huge down grades for our family! It seems like people never want to talk about money and houses except to brag about it, but there is no shame in something every person whether neighbor, celebrity, nun, has to deal with and that is bills! And in our case we chose to minimize as much as possible for the sake of our future!
