junk and stuff

My interview yesterday went really well. They offered me the job, but I declined to take it.
It was for people to go update current AT&T customers to the incredibly amazing fiber optics internet thing, U-Verse. I really liked all the people that worked there, but the hours were 7-9, 6 days a week, and since Johnny works bell to bell every day, that leaves very little time for either of us to be with the kids.

I have another interview on the 17th for Regions Bank, which is a job I'd much rather have. Hours are way more compatible with my needs. But I'm nervous because I'm not super awesome at math. Hopefully my amazing customer service skills will overshadow the fact that I need a calculator! haha I don't think tellers do long division, anyway!

Johnny called me today and said he's almost positive that we should move in with his mom. We would be paying what we pay now for rent (900) plus the electricity and water bills, plus splitting the cable/phone bills.
His mom doesn't pay for anything so we would be splitting these bills with his father, which makes me concerned because his dad is always out of town for work and doesn't seem too concerned about letting things lapse..I mean, he doesn't live there so why should he care? It's a much bigger house so the electric bill would prolly be bigger but Johnny really feels like he needs to help his parents out here and who am I to say he shouldn't?
It definitely would make it easier for me to have a full time job if we were there. But I know I will be unhappy. We may not have a lot but what we have is OURS and we can do what we please. When we live there I will always feel as though I'm being watched carefully and living under someone else's roof, even though we'll be paying for everything. I'm sure we will buy all Gail's groceries, too. I wonder if Tootsie will get along with his mom's dog, Rosie. Ugh that dog is filthy and stinky and ratty.

I've been trying to think of all the positive things but honestly I'll be embarrassed to live with my mother in law. I'm too old for that crap. Even though we're the ones helping her out, it still seems lame to me. Whatever. I will be ok as long as I'm working a lot.

Honestly I feel kind of depressed about it because it will be so uncomfortable for me but if it were my parents that needed help I would be mad at Johnny for not wanting to, so i'm not going to say anything. I know it's the right thing to do. I was so excited to do some reorganizing and redecorating here but now I don't think I will since it would be a waste. I don't need to worry about decorating anymore! Gail's house is all rooster-y and country. yay! :/ haha ok I'm going to not complain anymore.

moving, johnny, job
