I wish I had an answer on where we are moving but I don’t yet and this has become way too confusing. So Ben went to Cincinnati last week and all they did was pressure him towards NC. They told him it was the better fit for him, that he would have better opportunities there and blah, blah, blah. They also told him that they have okayed giving me a ( Read more... )

Insomnia sucks ass. I don't know why it happens to me but when it does I hate it. I developed this problem after my hysterectomy and it got really bad when we first moved here to St Louis. At least once a week I was praying to fall asleep. Once we got moved into our house I got better but from time to time it happens to me and I hate it. Last night ( Read more... )

At first I was so excited to get an offer. I didn't care what it took. My realtor, being excited to make the deal, kinda talks fast anyways but moves fast and didn't give me much time to think. I got sucked into what he was saying. And Ben calculated some things wrong. So my point is that I don't like the counter-offer I made and it's too late ( Read more... )

Because I don't want to do work at a job I am leaving anyways, I am going to give an update for my own record from this long week (which I don't mind sharing) and to waste time this morning:

- Had dinner Monday night with Ben's soon to be old boss and wife at a very nice steak place. We filled up on steak, rolls, salad and yummy desserts. The ( Read more... )

My realtor is driving me crazy. Here is the recent scare tactic and preaching she has done. I have copied this from an e-mail she sent last week when I had left to go to STL. I haven't responded or called her back yet. I don't know if it's me being stressed and irritated or if this would irritate anyone else if their realtor sent an e-mail like ( Read more... )

My brother tried to commit suicide last night. He is my oldest brother, Tim, who lives in Arizona and right now he is in the ICU in critical condition breathing with a ventilator and heavily sedated. Sadly this is not the first time he has done this. Every so many years when things get bad for him, he ends up in the hospital either from alcohol ( Read more... )

I don’t know how my life ever got so hectic. Oh wait - this job and 3 kids. I really hate not having the time to comment to posts. I do read on occasion but it sucks that I just don’t have the time or energy to post or write much anymore. I haven’t really updated on how the boys are doing lately though. I talked about our trip to Ohio which was a ( Read more... )

- I am so happy to have a 3 day weekend. I am taking Jace to get his 6 month picture taken (a month late) and buying some summer tops for myself at the mall tomorrow afternoon. Ben is taking off half a day of work tomorrow and is taking the older boys to lunch and to the movies because I am not taking all 3 kids to the mall by myself. That is ( Read more... )

I am a bit bummed today. Tomorrow I am moving cubicles again. This time it is across the hall and in a different room. I kind of like being where I am at because only a couple of us from our department are over here and you feel like you have some freedom. No bosses, no gossip, just the four of us and a bunch of Engineers. I am moving diagonal from ( Read more... )
