It's been a while...
So much has been going on and I never renewed my lj subscription so I really died out on writing in my journal. But I really need to write in it to help me remember how I have been feeling and remember little events that my horrible memory would lose track of very quickly otherwise.
It's impossible to sit down and type a long entry or even a short entry catching up this journal at this point. I will do my best though.
First things first, what is going on right now?
A lot of things have been going on... my marriage has been really shitty and in general I've been stressed out to the max. I got a job at American Greetings in the mall last time I posted an entry and I really do like it a lot... but a job is a job and does not come without stress. Especially when you haven't worked outside the home in 3 years and you miss your kids and it was supposed to be part time but starts out at 28-38 hours and keeps going at 38 hours. The least amount of hours I ever got was 22 and it was only one week. It's been hell on my body and mind standing for that long and just in general not being used to a working schedule let alone an unpredictable working schedule where I could work 10 hours one day and 4 hours the next and close one night then have to come in and open the store in the morning. I need to go to bed at a decent time and get up at a decent time on a regular basis... as much as I like sleeping in if I go to bed on time it won't be necessary. I have had chest pains that stop me in my tracks and a toothache that acts up when I eat sugary things or drink something cold... so all the time pretty much! Well it's mainly the really bad pain just when I bite into something sweet and it hits that tooth just right... I am headed toward having the same critical spinal problems as my mom because of the stupid futon we are sleeping on... that will be changed when we move again but for now I just have to deal.
We are moving to Taylor December first, 2009. Near the kroger on Ecorse and Monroe, the house is on ziegler. It's nice because we will have a decent sized backyard with a little shed. The house is itty bitty but we can make it work for the 6 months or so we are supposed to be living there.
Chances are Tom will be joining the Army and he'll be doing PT for 3 months before he goes to boot camp, then he'll be in boot camp and MOS training for about 3 months before he gets assigned to a base... hopefully in south carolina. That is happening if he doesn't find a job before we move.
My sister is in florida and has been now for a couple months... right around the time I started working I think. She is coming to visit for a week soon then going to new york to visit our cousin timmy who I have yet to see since 10th grade... I'm not going to get to see him but I'm at peace with that now because I've decided if he's not willing to go out of his way to come see me or even call me why should i even try to go through the huge ordeal of going to see him just to be glared at by his wife... oh yeah and BTW he's not really our cousin he is our mom's best friend's son and they have just been friends with my mom so long they became like family... and my sister and I always had a crush on him when we were younger so... yeah it's weird but his jealous wife has never liked me... of course it made a lot more sense when I talked to him on the phone for 5 hours in 2006 and found out he had wanted to date me but didn't know I returned the feelings and he was afraid of losing my parents respect because I'm 6 years younger than him. So chances are that had been mentioned to her long before I found out. Oh yeah and I don't know if my sister is going to go back to florida after that or what but i'm pretty sure she isn't coming back to michigan until end of october.
My husband got in a car accident with my poor purple plymouth breeze and it's totaled. He got scratched up and was sore for a while but he's okay. Our friend Chuck has been taking me to work all the time anyways but now we don't have a car. The volvo isn't running and we don't know why. Still trying to figure that out.
I was going to quit working by the end of september but now I'm working til October 30th because we are staying at the apartment longer than I thought and Tom has agreed to cooperate and help with potty training keeley. The big bummer is that I probably won't get a chance to make git hoodies as costumes for all four of us let alone just myself but I'll be making money toward a car and filing bankruptcy and just a general cushion.
