Well my life is hardly as exciting as those on my friends list...but hey I figured I would update some..
Work is work..am currently battling it out with HR and the labor board...It seems that after being there for 5 years and busting my ass to do my job well..a job that I love, someone can come in after me, who has no experience whatsoever, not working in a hospital, in a doctors office and most definately not in the ER, is hired making nearly $2.25 more an hour than me. I have been there a month shy of 5 years and dont make shit. So, currently as much as I love my job I have lil faith in my empoloyer. ~laughs~ yeah I know this is not unusual but it pisses me off. What they will do about it I dunno.
Kids...Austin is doing great, in school and otherwise...they were thinking he had ADHD, or a form there of for awhile but I thing he was just bored and is currently doing wonderful with them challenging him alil more. He is very very smart, and the teachers love him.
Kristin...Doing well in school...A's & B's...growing up WAY WAY to fast..I'm in so much trouble soon. ~laughs~ gonna have to chain her up in the house, or buy a big gun!!
Samantha...Well she is doing ok...still the mopey, somewhat depressed teenager she has been for some time...she is currently in danger of failing the 8th grade. I am unsure what to do but she has to make the effort. I cant do it for her..It is up to her to change the path she is on..I can only guide her at this point. I have done all the things that many will suggest, it only makes things more difficult. I have decided I must let her choose the path she wishes to follow at this point. She will either pass or fail this year and if she fails, well I hope she learns the lesson. NOTHING comes to you..you have to work for it.
Now me...well...no drama here...~laughs~ well maybe alil..no man in my life ...not that I can actually call mine anyway...but then again, perhaps thats a good thing, who the hell knows. There is Jess...His wife walked out on him and their 5 year old daughter nearly 5 months ago, she is with another man, and wrapped up in drugs. He still wants to save his marriage. I am unsure how he could want her back after all this, but hey it isnt for me to decide or judge. He has been with her for 15 years, married for 5, and they have a child, so therefore I have been his friend. I have tried to keep myself seperate from anything more than that. It is easier to distance myself ..therefore there is no pain later.. Other than that...well there is no relationship. Part of me is ok with that, it is simply easier to live my life at times when there isnt another person involved that I feel the need to please and take care of. At times I can barely take care of the kids and myself, I fall to the wayside most times, but as long as the kids are ok..thats all that matters to me.
I am starting my prereqs for college this summer semester. I need to find something to do to challenge myself. I dont want to be a "lifer" at my job. There has to be more and it is up to me to achieve it.
Well enough on my ever boring life...heading out later to see a movie..probably House of Wax with Samantha, kristin and her friends...who knows....
~leaves lots of love..
