What stresses you out?
This life-pondering question was posed to me by Mia last week. Jacob started out by asking D if he had ever felt stressed when.....and that led to a bunch of question of what stresses us out.
I only named a few things, the usual making sure you're okay, school, abuelita getting older -- and then she interrupts me and says, "finding a job." YES! Yes, Mia, finding a job does stress me out.
As does your dad's job and how the California position came open and how we're not going to apply for it because it's not a good time for Jacob and how hopefully the person that gets it will retire in about five years and then we can revisit -- which means that even if he did apply for it he may not get it because the lady that might apply for it and retire in five years is good. We know, it was his first boss here in Washington -- but I don't know if five years from now will be a good time either (five is a very vague number we're using). Will there ever be a good time? Or is the time now?
Right. Now. When she's going into just first grade and he's going to middle school and will be faced with all kinds of changes anyway?
Do I really want to move to Sacramento? I don't even want to go there to visit this summer what makes me think I want to live there permanently?
And, I've gone off the deep end. But. alas...it's almost time for piano lessons, so my time to ponder is over.
What stresses you out?
EVERY. THING!
EVERY. FUCKIN'. THING.
Does that answer your question?
