It's been awhile...
Since I've been able to post. I'm sorry to let this go, it's just...life has been happening.
I'll start at the beginning of the week. Sunday, Kris and I had the kids...for an overnight. Believe it or not, the psycho bitch ex let us take them for more than 24 hours. It went...really well. Really. If you can imagine, me, Carter (5 year old son) and Kris in the bed, and Sydney (10 year old daughter) on the floor at our feet. The mental image cracks me up.
Funny tidbit about the next morning: I woke up with the kids, at around 7. I got Carter some breakfast, and sat with them. Then boom. I get my period. I'm miserable. I realize I have to go to the store. Does Kris wake up? No. Do the kids want to go watch TV with him? No. They want to come to the store with me. So now, please picture me, with 2 kids in tow, walking around a Walgreens at 8AM to buy tampons. If you're not laughing yet, maybe you're in a bad mood. :p
So work. I started this week. I'm the only gringa (Re: White Girl) working in the pharmacy. But the people are nice, even if half the customers don't speak English. I still don't have my license straightened out, meaning I can't fill medication, but I can type the prescriptions in the computer. I'm only making $11.00 an hour for now, but it's 32-40 hours a week, so I really can't complain too much.
Onto the other stuff. Kris and I are still fine. No major fights to speak of. There are times I feel I'm losing my temper, but I cool down as quickly as I get fired up. We had a talk the other night about why I get frustrated with his WoW obsession. I'm not upset that he spends time on the computer, that's not the case. I don't need to be coddled. The only thing I could come up with was this: He doesn't have a job, and I'm not 100% settled in yet. I mean, there's no room to put my clothes in our room, so I am still living out of suitcases. I just don't feel like this is my place, too. Not yet. So I get sad when he spends hours on the computer, because I can't just get up and do something on my own. Sure, I can go to the store or down the street to his friend Karrie's house (who is now also my friend, haha), but for the first few weeks, I just kinda felt a little lost. Now that I've started work, however, I feel better. And he's been great. I came home to dinner made the other night...talk about a sweet surprise.
By the way, in a few days, I get to meet Kim! YAY!
I miss all of you, and I'm sorry my boyfriend is a computer whore. I don't have a router yet, so we're still kinda sharing his. Until then...hope you all are doing well. Hugs and kisses.
