updates
Things overwhelmed me for a bit, but I'm back online and stuff now and pulling things together. So where to start. I'm still with Aaron and he makes me amazingly happy. I am about to sign a new lease for my current place which will take me to June of next year. Tommy is up and down in school. He saw an endocrinologist and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and is now taking synthroid as well as concerta on a regular basis. He's doing better but the synthroid is a stimulant so we're probably going to have to change his meds accordingly and I think it's time for a dosage change since he's been having problems again with staying on task and concentrating in class like he was before the Concerta.
About a month ago my brother's house almost went up in flames. Unfortunately, it was my mother's fault. See my mom's an alcoholic. she got drunk, fell asleep and her cigarette set a trash can on fire, and it spread to under the house (it was a mobile home). She somehow stumbled into the house and knocked on my brother and his wife's door in time to wake them and they went outside and once they realized it had spread under the house grabbed their boys and got them out, the fire was right under my youngest nephew's room. They are fine, but the insurance didn't cover all that was left to pay on the house/land, and they were told they would never insure that house again. So, they ended up signing the land back over to the original owner and are living with her parents for now. All 4 of them in her extra bedroom. They put in for a loan from a gov't program to get a new place though and are waiting to hear. I'm hoping they get into a place soon. My mom was apparently so drunk she was falling down constantly, like flat on her face. My nephews unfortunately saw this and the oldest one knows it was her that caused it. He adores her and I can't imagine how much that hurt him. But, I am thankful they are alive.
Work is work I get between 20 and 28 hours a week right now, usually more like 20. I got my annual raise after a good review, and after a bit of arguing over a computer malfunction I did indeed get my health insurance as well. Which is good, now as soon as I get the card I can schedule my annual exam and an ultrasound for my thyroid. Yay! I like knowing I'm healthy.
Went to Disney for Valentine's weekend and other than the bitter cold it was amazing. I loved being there with Aaron and I got hooked on pin trading and met this sweet little girl named Grace while in the ticket line and she thought I was amazing because I knew all about Disney and had me sign her autograph book, I gave her her first pin (it was her first trip to Disney and she was admiring mine so I gave her one). She was sweet unfortunately I didn't see her again, but I really will never forget her, it was like a little bit of the Disney magic.
Since then it's been mostly work and Tommy and all that. I finally decided I was done playing nice and went to see an attorney. The divorce papers should be filed today and that starts all of that. I don't know yet if he'll be willing to come to an agreement or if he'll try to fight me. I hope we can come to an agreement. I don't want to fight and I don't want to pay money I don't have for a lawyer.
Tommy and I signed up for the give a day, get a day for Disney thing. He's excited to get to earn a ticket to Disney and help out.
In Cam news, I signed up to be DC again (I must be crazy) and offered to be VST mage (I must be absolutely insane, really). So now I'm doing a crash course in reorganizing my life while also job hunting. Wheeeee (plus learning all the stuff I need to know to even attempt to be a VST). Need to get my hands on mage books.
My room needs cleaning and so does my kids, should get to that shortly. I've been sleeping very badly and last night was the worst in awhile but I thought I was fine this morning and then I sat on my bed chatting and next thing I knew it was 12:30. Sigh. Hoping this gets better though I can't keep not sleeping at night. I toss and turn and I hate it I wake up feeling more tired.
I've also been wanting to make things like crazy lately but not having the outlet. My want to learn to quilt has come back and I want to sew and I want to make cards and scrapbook and such. Aaron says it's a form of nesting lol. I want to put shelves up in my room, but I won't because I don't even know if I could do it and not screw it up plus I'd need to ask the landlord first and all that. I have some posters I need to hang in Tommy's room, he has a giant transformers one and a All I ever needed to know i learned from star wars, both are wooden framed canvas type posters that came from blockbusters cheap. The transformers one was a Christmas present.
Have two packages to take to the post office, might wait and do that in the morning though since Tommy will be home from school soon. That's my update for now I'm sure I'll think of some more stuff to say eventually, for now I need to eat since I haven't all day.
