November

I'm still alive

Almost October

No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth..not yet anyway. Things have been going pretty fast around me. Let me try to catch you up...
I've moved back north and currently live with my mother in law. The kids are settled in school, and things are starting to get on track.
I applied for food stamps and medicade. Thankfully I qualified. Thanks to medicade, I've got new glasses which I've needed for more than 2 yrs, and I'm getting my teeth fixed. Im having 4 wisdom teeth and a back tooth removed on Friday. Along with having 3 cavities filled. Not looking forward to it, but am looking forward to the pain free life I'll have afterwards...eventually.
Got Kam to the dentist. She had cavities filled and her teeth cleaned. Took me 14 years to get this stuff accomplished.
Found out the other day that the owner of the house we are all living in wants us out by Halloween..Been stressful. Especially since he's been camping out in the basement. I hate him...with a FUCKING PASSION! Whole nother story for another time perhaps. But we think we have found a 5 bedroom house that will work. Out of the boys school district, but we'll make due. I refuse to change them schools. To much going on.
Drew has been having regular meltdowns. I know they are all confused as to why we are living with Grammy while Daddy still lives in the "old house". He comes to visit when he can. I think things are getting better. We get along better when we are apart. If only we can get him to send some money on a regular basis now.
I sleep alot. I know that's not right. But I can't help it. All I want to do is sleep. And that is what I do. When the kids are gone, I sleep. When the kids are in bed..I sleep. Why am I still so damn tired?

This is the view from where me and the kids are living now. School starts August 19. And believe it or not, they are all 3 excited to go to a new school. We are taking things one day at a time. And we are hoping Daddy works some inner issues out with himself and gets better. Until then, we are with Grammy and Aunt Sarah and Uncle Aaron and cousins Gracie and Emma. We are home.

Happy July

Greetings Earthlings. Time for an update. I've been at my In-laws for the last month. Thinking hard about staying. My loving husband has not botherered to call me or his children unless I give him hell. Our daughter has her own phone. So he can not use me as an excuse to not call his kids. I have to go on his Facebook or talk to other people to find out he's been in a parade, and he's looking into re-enlisting in the Army active duty. Isn't this a decision that should be made with your spouse? I guess not. He spent my savings too. Says he paid bills. Gee thanks. Not like I was gona use that money to feed the kids or buy thier school clothes or anything. My biggest worry is transfering the kids in school. Tater will be starting Kindergarten. That's a whole other worry...lol Drew will be in 3rd grade. I know he will adjust ok. But my Kam..she's gona be a 7th grader. 13 in October. That makes it harder to start over. Lots of plus things to moving back up here. I will have a doctor for the kids, I will have support and the kids will have a roof and be fed. More job opportunities for me. Negative is the school switch, and the fact that I recently got back in good standing with my family. Hadn't spoken for 9 years and now we do holidays and hang out together. Speaking of which. I need to email my brother.....
Lots to think about. Lots to pray about.
My hair is falling out again. I'm crying alot at night. My head hurts, and my stomach hurts. My heart hurts most of all.

Wednesday

Hello all! Thought I'd let you know I am still alive and kicking. Rumor mill has it they are regretting firing me..hehe...oh well..their loss. New people don't want to stay and they are now realizing how much I did and how much butt I saved. I've got parents saying they'd take their kids out of the school and send them to me in a heartbeat..To bad for the school..
I'm visiting with my favorite inlaws. Mommy-in-law and Sista-in-law. Down side..I have Strep Throat once again. That makes 3 times in the last 2 months. Good thing my Mommy-in-law works for a doctor who can make me all better..at least for now.
Anyway, gona make this short and sweet I guess. Will be in touch when I can. Take care all! And thanks so much for all the support you gave me! Makes a girl feel right good ;-)

Thursday Update

Well, it's official..I am back to being a full time domestic goddess. Turns out that the lovely state I live in is a "no fault"state. Which in a nut shell means, I got screwed royally and didn't even get dinner!
Employers can fire you just because.
Churches are exempt from paying the unemployment tax. Which means, that the unemployment I filed for, I was denied.
Doesn't matter that they are a business that has filed with the state.
Also doesn't matter that according to their staff handbook they had me sign, they failed to follow their own proceedure in firing me. But state law says that staff handbooks are not the law, so basically they are a waste of trees.
Nothing matters.
Indiana is a crock of shit state.
I loved my job. I loved my students. But apparently it wasn't the job for me.
So now I'm back to square one.

On a brighter note, my mommy in law is coming to visit this weekend. She will be taking my 2 oldest kids back north with her for about a month for some visit time. Not sure how I'm gona act when they leave. I'll miss them terribly...I do know that for sure.

I was recently made aware of this super talented and entertaining guy by the name of Nick Pitera. I saw some of his videos on youtube, then came across his blog. I highly recommend you check him out. He's a cutie to top it off.

Heard that David Carradine passed today. That is sad and disturbing to me. Especially after hearing how they found him and such. Makes you wonder what his last thoughts wereand why he thought he had no other way out. What would make someone do that..I hope he's found peace.

It's getting late, and my mind is starting to wonder. So I'll just say goodnight!
p.s. Miss you Yotey! Come back soon!

WHAT.....THE....FOCK!!!!????

I got fired today....8 months of working my ass off for those people and they fired me! No warning, no probation, nothing. I was told there was many parent complaints that I was rude and I yelled. There is no documentation backing this up. I was recently given a raise, and sent home a letter stating what a valued employee I am. Yesterday we received new schedules and I was asked if the hours given me would work for me. 9-1, hour break, 2-4...Yes that works. Started that new schedule today. Called me back in after hours and informed me I was terminated. Boss said she wanted me to at least finish the week, and possibly next week since our preschool graduation is next Friday. Yet she tells me that the church wanted me gone this morning. HELLO?? jAnd to top it off, she told my best friend before me that they were releasing me! FUCK YOU!!! I'm not playing that stupid shit. If I'm not good enough to work for you, I am not good enough to speak at your graduation. I can't believe this. I've never been fired from anything! I feel like such a shit now. For the record, I am not mad at my best friend for not telling me. She did right. If I had known, I would have been a shit and it's not the kids' fault. I wouldn't have wanted to work. She also didn't tell me because she was still trying to talk the boss into NOT firing me. Oh well. They are gona be hurting because even the other employees say that I did all the shit there. Now there is noone to do the parent boards and parent letters and noone to do the curriculums now. I had that done up to August. I took it home with me. They are not gona profit off MY work. UGH!! What a shit filled night!
