General all in one update
I know that I haven't posted in a while, but that is because a ton of stuff has been going on.
First of all, my step-dad is still ruining everybody's life because yet again he crashed into something. This time it was the neighbors house. He was driving without a license, drunk, on an unregistered car. Of course he lied in court that he was only moving the car out of the garage and they let him off but actually he crashed into the garage door, broke it, opened the garage, went to the gas station, fueled up, bought smokes and beer and drove home crashing into the neighbors living room before parking in the driveway and walking upstairs to take a nap.
Since then life has changed somewhat. I am yet again watching Nicky, mom got a restraining order against Bruce that covers Nick and I as well. She is no longer living in elk grove, but with Merle which is slightly problematic since Oscar's dad can't wait to kick Oscar and I out. So now he keeps on asking about my mom's living arrangement, fully well knowing that she is living in my room at Merle's.
Nick is doing OK, although his world is kind of upside down. He is sharing a bed with mom, not getting to see his dog and his dad, and getting adjusted to playing soccer for the first time in 5 years. He's changing to a new Boyscout troop starting next week, unfortunately that will cut in with his soccer time because as always Elk Grove Soccer has not accommodated everyone, or has not tried. Mom keeps being stubborn when I tell her to move night closer to midtown when it comes to school and soccer, but all she sys is "What will happen when we have to move back to Elk Grove on the 22nd?" Like that will happen. Keep dreaming everything will be fine.
Basically my mother gets on my nerves really bad. I cannot stand being around her and she gives me an uneasy feeling when she is close to me. Always trying to touch me, calling me 4 to 7 times per day asking the same question "where are you? what are you doing?" Like that answer has changed since a half an hour ago.
I still don't have a job, looking for one but no luck. I am getting really discouraged. Am also kind of concerned because I have applied for citizenship a month ago and still do not have any kind of evidence that they have received my application. This concerns me because I sent a four hundred dollar check with the application and the web said that if they do not receive the packet postmarked before July 31st the fee goes up to 670USD. Of course being obsessed with getting the application in on time and all the other stuff I did everything correct except write my Alien ID # on the back of my passport pictures, and now I think that might say something along the lines of "Your application was not complete, therefore you have to pay us more." Um, No!! I need to get citizenship, this will open up a whole window of government jobs for me. I know I can land a good one, I just hope this whole process does not take too long.
Babysitting is working out good, will miss Nicky a great deal when he goes back to school because he is a great help. Being with the smallest ones gives me this wonderful feeling when they put their little heads down on my shoulder and give me a hug. The 3 month old reminds me of how much I would still like to have my own, but with the money and housing situation being as it is it does not look like that will be happening any time soon. It is nice to hear from all the moms that I will make a good mother someday. I think I might, but, when is someday?
Went to Lake Tahoe last weekend, will post pictures soon.
Also, 25th of August is Oscar's birthday. Need to plan a party, don't where to do it. Cannot use Merle's house, maybe Oscar's Parent's place, but they don't seem to like us anymore. I know Lux's b-day is the 26th. Kind of wondering if he wants to do a double birthday. Is there anyone else that has a b-day that week that I forgot? thinking Toga Party and Water-Balloon capture the flag again. Any other suggestions?
