Well, I've been putting it off forever, because it's been just too overwhelming to think about.  But today I finished consolidating my student loans.    What a headache!  And how discouraging to look at the amount of money I'll be paying for the next twenty years in comparison to the amount of money I actually make at my public school teaching job.  Why don't they pay teachers more like celebrities?  I think we deserve the money way more than any athlete or movie star...

And one more thought.  Here I am, nineteen weeks pregnant.  Why am I still throwing up?
