Pooped

I don't like to be a whiner, but man I am kinda losing it lately.
It has been a super rough few weeks for my family (made even harder by the fact that they are in Florida and I can't really do much from here), and I am just exhausted all the time. Not good when I have finals coming up VERY soon and am a lot farther behind in school than I'll admit to myself. I'm hoping I can get caught up this weekend but that involves me not napping the entire weekend.
Not to mention my wallet was stolen on Saturday (well, I actually lost it, apparently it fell out of my car when I dropped a friend off at home, but then someone picked it up and decided to use it) and I'm all discombobulated because of that. I have to call my bank first thing in the morning because someone went crazy using the credit card that was supposedly cancelled...and now I'm freaking out about the possibility of identity theft.
But at least I have a nice warm house, some very affectionate pets, a stable job, a car that is paid off, great friends and family and an awesome guy who loves me.
Trying to look on the bright side of things!

Clocks are tickin

I'm trying to convince Erich we should just elope, and then have some huge party (or several smaller parties) for our families. Mainly cause I am just sick of having to tell people, "No, no date set yet....waiting on several factors." And well, I really want to be married to him.
I mean, in all honesty, the ONLY thing we are waiting on at this point is for my mother to be accepting of the idea of me being married. Erich's family is very supportive, my dad and his family are all very supportive as well...it's just my mom who seems to think that if we get married now, we'll be divorced in a few years.
I just don't think it's very fair that not only am I having to put things on hold, but Erich is as well, just because my mom has her own idea of when is a proper age to marry.

This is getting so frustrating. we DID have a date in mind, ages ago when we first got engaged (July 30, if anyone cares), but obviously that's not happening. The fact that I have no idea when we actually will get married seriously bums me out. I mean I know we're not going to fall apart and split up or anything, we have a very strong relationship...but I want to be able to call him my husband already. And well, the biological clock be tickin'...I want babies. Maybe not in the next couple of years, but definitely in the next five years. And at the rate we're going (let me rephrase: at the rate my mother is going, learning to accept the fact that we are getting married), I'll be fifty before I have kids. Ugh.
