I'm Movin In With My Mom

Yep, that’s right. They kicked me out of my apartment, Chevy Chase froze my bank account, Cingular shut off my cellular service (because the bill didn’t get paid because my bank account was frozen) …

I was this -> ‘___’ close to living in my Honda when my mom said “Hey, why don’t you come and live with us? You’d be able to save money, and after work we could all drink margaritas and play Wii Bowling!”

And I said, “Cool! Thanks!”

So that’s about it. I’m 28 years old, and I’m gonna be living at my mom’s house.

Some people I’ve told are supportive, they say things like “Cool! I wish I could do that!”, “wow, think of all the money you’ll save” or “Right on man, your mom’s cool!” … Others aren’t so supportive. The word “Loser” is peppered liberally throughout their comments about my situation.

Me personally, I don’t know what to think about this whole thing. One the one hand, I was entirely overwhelmed by the series of unfortunate circumstances I found myself in. On the other, I’m grateful that mom is letting me crash at her pad for little more than occasional groceries and a few cases of beer a month.

I’m damn lucky I guess. I’ll try harder not to fuck everything up this time.
