I <3 timing...
So my roommate decided that blowing her half of the rent was okay because....
because......??
Yeah, I couldn't think of a good reason either.
Well, the whole reason I have a roommate is due to the fact that I can't cover the whole amount of rent by myself..
SO I wasn't able to pay rent this month and got a 'Pay or Vacate' 3 day notice yesterday morning on my door.
....
super.
happy fucking holidays.
And it doesn't help that I got the notice Friday, didn't have any time to try and call around to any agencies that might me able to help with funding, so on Monday, I have to UBER scramble to call around for ASAP assistance.
My roommate gets paid every week, and it is atleast $500.
Okay.
I get paid EVERY OTHER WEEK.. and make just under $400 on those paychecks.. I pay bills, buy diapers, formula, baby food, daycare (which I couldn't pay for this month because I was so fucking broke), and I have pretty much cut out any sort of additional spending on myself as an unnecessary expense.
.... Kellie on the other hand has day care, occationally diapers on the one day a week the twins are over at the house... and that's it.
We both have food stamps that total around $500 so food has never been an issue.
But that's it for Kellie. So I was biting my tongue when she told me that she would see how much she had after "getting stuff she needed done," then if she could afford it I would be able to get the whole $325...
Friggin' TWO DAYS LATER Kellie is all disgruntled, grumbling around the house about how fucking broke she is, and, oh this is my favorite part,
"...I just went through, like, $500 in two days.. ALL OF IT. *BIG SIGH* It's fucking insane."
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T FUCKING PLAY IT OFF LIKE YOU CAN'T PAY ME RENT DUE TO EXPENSES YOU HAVE TO "TAKE CARE OF," BASICALLY LYING TO ME BECAUSE YOU WANT TO LIVE IN MY HOUSE WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD JUST SO YOU CAN TOTALLY FUCK ME OVER.
what. the. h. e. l. l.
?
Lastly I would like to mention that I heart April. She is one of those people that goes above and beyond any definition of what it is to give unconditionally & dish out the "I got your back because I know that you would do that same for me" goodness.
When I start my 5 day, 3-11pm shift she spoke right up and said that she would be more than happy to watch Violet... ALL 5 DAYS.
Since April has been watching ViLi (pronounced Vi-Lee.. Violet Lily. The shortness.. <3) for my Monday and Tuesday shift, I can see a world of difference in Violet.
The biggest difference is the fact that after 3 months of her once clockwork sleeping schedual, screwed up from a nasty cold a week or so after all the Glen stuff happened, is now back on track. Like I said, things like sleeping patterens, especially in babies can read like an open book. I could tell that Violet was not really adjusting well to all the over night changes. Her dad, who she spent all of the beginning of my work days with, was gone, and now there are all these new people watching her, feeding her, interacting with her....
I'd be like... "What the fu- Um. Dad and I sing songs and dance... And when do we go on the walk outside? To where dad gets his juice at? We go a couple times.. Okaaaaaaay."
She was just getting placed into an environment that fluxuated so often due to my schedual, it stressed her out. I'm not just saying this because she's my kid and I want to hype her up, but Violet is- I mean, it's AMAZING how well behaved she is. All I hear everytime we go out somewhere, or we're visiting friends & family, "Wow, she's such a good baby!"
Violet spends a lot of time sitting back and observing people, surroundings, etc., and when she's not quietly taking in the world, she's this bubbley, social, active, interactive baby. If she cries, and she only cries because of a few text book things, she's hungry, pooped/peed, tired, or would like you to be her mode of transportation as you give her a tour around. Then there are text book actions she will preform totally confirming it.
So it's hard explaining to people that, no really, she pretty much entertains herself and isn't fussy or unpredictable. She's a dream if you happen to be someone who has never taken care of a baby before and are "clueless". Because she only cries as a result from one (or rarely a combo) of the above mentioned things.
.....Where the hell was I?
OH YEAH.
SO. When I began to notice that she wasn't going back to her sleep schedual, and there was also a reoccuring fever for a while there, I was upset that she was being effected by all these changes in child care and schedual.
SO. after only TWO DAYS in the care and quality time with April, I would head upstairs when I got off my shift (April was staying at the hotel while looking for an apartment), Violet would be all buckled up, snuggled up, fast asleep in her carseat. Then within the next day or two she was back to sleeping through the night. To me this ment that she was exposed to the right kind of environment, loves, positive interaction, as well as proving that she was defanitly getting the attention and care that she needed.
I heart April.
Aside from that, after telling April about everything going on with the eviction, April said that she could loan me $100. She had worked her ass off last pay period, and got holiday pay, so she didn't mind.
"I know that if it were me in that position, you'd do the same."
You're damn right.
A couple weeks ago April asked me "a really really really big favor...."
She was going to get her driver's license and wanted to know if she could use my car to take the test.
DUH! If it means you getting your license, you're fuckin' a right you can use my car! I support responcibility.
Outtie.
I'm out.
Next stop: East Side. Into the arms of my chunky bundle of joy.
