Gross Mac-n-Cheese and Goodbyes
So my cousin and I just finished having horrible Mac and Cheese and saying goodbye. Jen is moving to Bakersfield,CA....tomorrow. I am not too sure how I feel about it.
She is moving back in with her mother. She has not always gotten along with her mom but she feels she needs to. Her mom has said she would pay for school, give her her vehicle back, not make her pay any bills, and she would get a better paying job. It sounds like a good idea from the outside I just hope she is willing to deal with what her being there will bring. I know I am not making very much sense but her mom and mom's girlfriend don't seem like the easiest to get along with.
I am going to miss my cousin. I am going to miss her quirky personality and sense of humor. She was not always at the house but I was cool having another girl to live with. I have never really had to share a room and stuff before.
I will miss the times we spent together doing "girl-y" things and "bonding". Hehe...she got me to get my nails done. I have never done anything like that for myself. Now I will not have anyone to help me discover the small things I can do for myself.
Like usual I am by myself. It is just me and my Uncle in the apartment. It is definitely going to be a lot quieter. She is kinda wild and noisy. It was odd the have all the noise. I am used to a quieter house, which will happen now.
And she is going to be leaving me alone with Mario's step-kids(sort of) when they come over. 'sidenote'-The boys come over about once a week for the night to get away from the screwed up home they have. Mario is a strong male role-model for them. Since there is not one in the house. They seem to like the "guy's night" they get here. Sometimes it seems I play mom here but I love the boys and know that they really love it here. I am happy to be here and hang-out with them.....The one thing I know is I don't want any kids of my own for a long long time. They are great but it is so much better when I know they will go home soon.
So back to the first topic. I am going to be sad for a while 'cause I really have enjoyed the month-ish I have been here and now it is going to change. But life goes on and Jen really wants to get her degree and become a teacher. She wants to come back and teach here. I told her that pay around here suck but whatever she sets her mind to is great for her.
She is also leaving her boyfriend and I am not sure how that is going to be for him. I am sure he is going to get over it and he is going to find someone else but he says that when she is done with school she will come back and realize they were meant for each other an get back together. I don't thing he realized how long four years is. I think it is a very romantic idea but I don't think that it is really that rational of an idea.
Anyway......on to the next topic. I was offered a job as soon as I get mobile. I was with Mario and the boys the other night getting stuff for the house and ran into my old counselor JoLynn and my step-mom's old boss Joy. They happen to be together which is why I ran into both of them. After the hellos and such they asked where I was and what I was doing. So we talked for a while and JoLynn offered me a job with the provider company she is with.
I would be helping disabled people one-on-one in their homes. Hence the need for transportation. I would also be getting $7.00 an hour instead of the measly $5.15 I get now. Not that the money is the only reason I would work there anyway. I think I would be good and helping people. My step-mom worked for Goodwill for a good deal of time supervising case workers that helped people with disabilities, physical and mental. I think I could do a good job with it and I would love to help people.
So that is on my list of Things To Do.
And that is all for now.
