I was trying really hard not to get irritated about the w2 stuff but we need our stuff before the end of February. :\ Dillon had two check stubs he was waiting on and both have come (well he went and got one the day he asked about the job that one would have likely been mailed at the end of the month since he is no longer working there but he had online access to it before that both do in fact) this hold up is enough for me to question working here any longer. Not that I don't question that anyway... But the fact that we could have filed two weeks ago and guaranteed it was here mid February. The credit cards we were hoping on paying off this year are now nearly maxed out again because of just everything and i am not even sure if we will be able to which depresses me...I have still yet to be able to pay last months (Dec) daycare costs.... At nearing $300 and more then half our mortgage payment i don't know if and when we will be able to... So them dragging their feet is damn unacceptable in my book...
I am hoping this mood passes I am just not into it at all... At all... Everyone is whining or crying and now I'm cranky as hell... Bah... And thinking that we wont have money until its too late just makes all that even worse. We are on a trial period with our new loan terms and missing a payment means we revert to the old loan terms and owe even more :\
Sorry for the griping rough morning got rougher and rougher... Today is feeling like a total bust...

I know the wait sucks, but legally they don't have to send them out until the last day of the month. I've never understood what difference it makes to the company as to when they send them out... but there you have it. Scotts just came in today, and I'm still waiting on BOTH of mine. Waiting is the hard part.
Are you able to file online? That will make the processing time take less... time. Also, since it's still super early in the tax season that will help as well. You may also look into getting them prepared somewhere that will give you and upfront amount of your return back, should the need arise, there is always that option. *hugs* hold tight. You'll make it through!!
Right now, between being sick, dealing with all this new Jamberry stuff, Girl Scout meetings and cookies I'm feeling way to stretched thin... and the kids won't stop asking me for things when I'm trying to work. The two hours I set aside of not sleeping to get work done... isn't enough. They get out of school too soon and I'm left with piles of stuff to still get through all teh while they're asking me how their belts get tightened, if their homework is right, how to do this, what happens if I do that blah blah blah blah I don't know. I just freaking don't know okay? I'm trying to concentrate one ONE THING but that's apparently not allowed. >.<
On the other hand. I did finish up cookie stuff today.
I'm canceling the meeting I had scheduled for this Saturday because I've had girl scouts EVERY weekend this month and I'm over it. I need a break.
I made my mom an authorized user on my credit card a year ago, maybe two, so she could take care of my cats, and she's been spending about $200/mon on the card. It was also to help take care of her. I'm not heartless. I swear. But I asked her in Nov to stop using it and she hasn't. I knew better than to mix money and family, but I had to for my pets ya know? They had vet bills that needed to be covered and she couldn't afford it. Anyway, can I cut her off? It feels wrong... but I've been trying to pay this credit card off for months now and it gets disheartening when I think it should be under 50 only to have the bill show up at close to 300. >.<
I'm all whining and crying today. I just can't deal with everything all at once!
[edit] oh yeah, and the house. Can't forget about the house. So the refinance apparently removed us from having a VA loan, so we've got full entitlement benefits for that. THAT's why things took me so long to finish today. I was working on the pre-qualification loan application and looking up a god awful amount of account numbers, assets, debts, etc so I could finish up the application and we could find out what we're qualified for and start looking at houses that are within our budget instead of at everything listed. I think once I get the prequalified amount I'll get with a realtor in the area and see what my options are.
ALL of this has just taken up my day when all I want to do is lie in bed and have people bring me orange juice and soup. </3

I am sorry Mellie it sounds like we had similar days. Well parallels in that that they were both bad. i am really hoping today is better.
Yesterday was awful on so many levels. I think waking at 5 aided in my "waking on the wrong side of the bed" type mood. Then stupid petty fights all through getting ready in the morning and things not going as planned (combined with irritation over how lazy it seems, and my work take lazy to a new level, to wait until the last minute for the tax stuff, leading to my preciously posted irritation with such) left me pretty much sobbing in the shower. Then i got home and gathered stuff to go to dss which Liam screamed through because the kids have the house in such disarray that i cant let him just be out he has to be confined. So he screamed in his high chair for 15-20minutes while i gathered then i went to Dss because my recertification necer came jn the mail so i was expecting to get it and jsut turn it ipn but because it was due at the beginning of the month and i never got it i had to see someone..... so i waited, two kids in tow, for more then 4 and a half hours!... through lunch... i was miserable but someone there was super cheery and lightened the dower mood from time to time. when i got home it wasnt too bad except that dinner had never gotten started because i was gone and just the stress over the house and kids being kids... then the Dillon took the boys and Ellie to the pack meeting for scouts and I man handled Liam At home. When they got home i was informed sean had left his jacket Which i later found the stupid cub master who hates sean for some reason, put his winter jacket with the cub scout stuff instead of pickepicking itnup and taking it home like they normally do with misplaced stuff... why the fuck would they do it for other people and not for Sean. So sean is without a winter jacket until next monday. :/ hopefully it stays in the upper 70s like is was yesterday and is suppose to be today. But usually warm weather is an indication of a snow drop coming our way...
The night, before dillon left for work anyhow i got to cuddle a little with him and started watching outlander because i caught up to current with once upon a time.... then he left for work :/
Today started out fine but is dropping so quickly. I hope it doesnt continue this way...

*yawn* Whoever told companies it's okay to call people at 10 AM was wrong. Very. Very wrong. Luckily Scotts already said that he was planning on taking the kids to karate tonight so all I have to do is start rice and sleep as the crock pot is already going with some Korean ribs. Yay! And he made me a salad for lunch. I told him I needed to loose 30 pounds in order to be a surrogate when we get to Cali, and we've been eating healthier ever since. He's such a doll. I don't think I give him enough credit sometimes.
I hope today has started to turn better for you. Waiting around for four and a half hours for a recertification SUCKS. Especially with two kids who aren't happy to be out! I wish places would make it easy to do things like that over the phone. Ya know, one less thing that you have to go out of your way to get done. That whole ease of customer satisfaction thing... oh well. Glad it was taken care of all the same. <3
And WTF with Seans Cub Master? Seriously? Can they only get into the cub scout storage once a week? You do NOT keep a kids winter coat from him! That's horrid! I'd find someone to complain to! Are the meetings held in someones house or at a church or school where you can talk to someone about getting it sooner rather than later? Because seriously, that's not okay. I'd have some serious words for those people!
This whole house thing is driving me crazy! I want to focus on Jamberry for the next couple of weeks while I attempt to get myself situated but every morning I've got an email with them needing some obscure document or another and it's driving me crazy! Oh well. it's all for the larger picture that I'm doing this. My crazy period hormones say otherwise though!

I managed to get my Jamberry party AND facebook page set up today. So I'm feeling quite accomplished. and just in time too, because it's about time to go and get the kids from school. Yay for productivity! Hopefully this proves fruitful in the coming months/year.
So because I accomplished something, I'm feeling better already. Just want some sleep... and some more dayquil. I swear this illness is turning me into a hopped up druggy. It's been a 6 hours on the dot type of medicating weekend... and week. Damn, has it only been 4 days? It feels like AGES!!

I also want more sleep. I'll likely go crash soon. I'm still sluggish and icky. Enjoying tea right now. I'm hoping school is cancelled tomorrow. If it's not, I'm going to work. Do not want!

I think I'll be crashing for an hour soon... the kids are about to be off to karate. Once Aaron finishes his homework. This kid... is always fighting us on English homework and he is STILL having hearing and speech issues. I don't even know what to do about it, but every night that he's got english i feel like ripping my hair out. Scotts taking over for now... Imma go lie down.

*fingers crossed here as well*
Yay for productivity Mellie. English must be hard for him. Poor guy, poor you guys. Sean fights all homework unless he has had his medicine. and even then sometimes....
I fight sleep so hard. I want nothing to do with it, even though I know I need it. I want so badly to clean without interuption and play video games, listen to my book or *gasp* actually read a book, or mess around on here so i stay up late doing or trying to do all of those. most of the time only accomplishing 1/8 of all the things i want to do. Liam plays a big roll in it but so does my exhaustion. I am so tired often just moving about irks me. And i eventually cave into laying in bed where i can usually play a tablet game, facebook and write on here. Not that i am complaining but man infinite energy ould be amazing...
On that subject my sister posted something that normally wouldnt have bugged me too much but i know from her wording added to the meme that it was directed at me. So the meme said "I dont have time is the adult equivalent of the dog ate my homework" normally i would have kniwn from her or my mom it was directed at me but that doesnt bother me too much i can blow of minor impling but she added a paragraph about how "phones, tablets, tv shows, and stupid little projects are "fun things" and that finding time for them means you have plenty of time and need to shut the hell up and be responsible" she and my mom say i say that i dont have time for things all the time but aside from when i was working every day i hardly ever say that. I may say i dont have enough time in the day For all that i want to do i dont know... but anyway this one little pos kid who has no idea what it is like to live in my shoes in just ONE post got ununder my skin and sealed my bad day with a death kiss. I have felt utterly hopeless since. :/ i know it i
has been a combination of bs going on but that one strike at me did me in. Yes i play on my tablet, i watch movies while i fold laundry and do dishes. I listen to my book much the same. I do my tablet in the morning, or while i am nursing. And yeah i know i am on it too often and for too long. But excuse my blaspheming or whatever but jesus f*ing christ i deserve SOME SORT OF FUCKING RELIEF AND HAPPINESS TOO!!! Fuck her and hers, she goes out she does things she wants to do she can whenever she wants. I cant leave without it being a major fucking affair. I havent had a date without a pregnancy or a baby in tow since we started dating in 2006... our first date.... i get alone time only when Dillon sees i am so beyond help that he opts to take the kids somewhere alone Which is usually very rare. It is so freaking beyond me... my mom had REGULAR BABYSITTERS!!!! My sister has no kids And no real obligations Before starting this job she just did.
Dillon took the kids to the store really quick (i was missing a piece of tonights dinner) and grabbed me whaf should have been a tall green tea latte (which i am almost 100% has no real green tea) And then to the library, while i made dinner in peace, sort of... i am still not feeling today, between the car breaking, getting a call from my boss saying that i wont be alloted time to pump tomorrow and then just emotional bs. It just feels like everyone is trying to step on me. I really dont want to go to work tomorrow. I am so annoyed i cant even see straight.

Oh i have a cherry topping on my day, dillon called his old work when i was in my deepest midst of self loathing and i never asked what had happened. Honestly i assumed he got a machine. He is deemed un-hireable.... i would really really like to go die in a corner right now :'( plus he is using me and the house as reasons he hasn't applied elsewhere.
---------- Post added 01-27-2015 at 09:24 PM ----------
OMG OMG OMG Mellie do you remember me nagging during Sean's pregnancy that my work didn't have to follow FMLA guidelines because of the number of employees???? The breastfeeding laws here that protect a pumping mother until age 2 ALSO have this clause. If it causes undo hardship she doesn't have to do it. I am going to still bring it up but I am going to have significantly less gusto about it... I am so so so so tired of feeling like I can't be both productive in society and in my family I have to chose. I am so so so sick of it....

I don't even know what to say. Let's see...
1.) To hell with your sister. She doesn't live your life, and she doesn't understand what it's like to have someone nagging at you 24/7. I have one child--one. And from sunup to sundown, she is at me. If I had four children, I'd have died long ago.
2.) Dillon. Am I understanding that this means the job he was supposedly able to go right in and grab back is no longer an option?
3.) Please take this as a sign to leave that job. You're paying more childcare than you can afford to pay, childcare that you wouldn't otherwise need if not for the job. There is no shame in pulling away from the job, going back to DHHS, and seeing about higher SNAP benefits and anything else that might be available. Money is never guaranteed, Jaz. Sometimes it will be there, sometimes it will not be there. The kids are babies in the grand scheme of life. There is no shame in waiting until Liam is, for example, Ellie's age before trying again. Ellie would be in school, Liam would be able to handle and benefit from a daycare setting, and you'd be free to do full-time work, or half-time, without as much stress.
I read you saying something once about how it's family that nags you to work. SCREW IT. They aren't you. Your mom raised you and your siblings differently than you're raising your children, and that's FINE. You are going to utterly freaking snap into a million pieces if you keep going as you're going.
Can you do a pros and cons list for keeping work as opposed to leaving? They should have benefits calculators up online to see what you'd be eligible for. By now you already know what Dillon makes in a month, so you could do a heavy comparison. I feel that you've been struggling harder than usual for about a half a year. I worry what's to happen if you keep going as you're going.
Working isn't giving you much benefit when the childcare comes into play, and the extra gas. If there were a way where you could handle the home front and kids, Dillon could then not have an excuse to look for something more stable, like a day shift job.
The pumping thing just... RAUGH. If you ever needed a sign to GTFO, there it is. If you want to keep working, maybe you should seek something better than there. It's not fair. Your health and Liam's health are at risk. Mastitis isn't to be joked with, nor is diminished supply for a baby that's not even a year old yet.

How did it go, Jaz?
Ugh, back to the land of the living today. I wish I could go to work, but I have a 1pm car appointment, and I need to get groceries for the incoming storm. Raugh. Yep, another one. Guess I should finish my list, get clothes on, and go do that once I get Terra to school.

Chi- I heard there was another storm coming in for you, when is it due to hit? I hope you can find everything you need at the store, I remember it being stupid packed and people would buy all the milk and toilet paper whenever a large storm was coming in when we lived in Elizabeth City. Stay safe!!
Jaz- re:your sister: WTF? No. Okay, just NO. You are allowed to spend your down time how you want to. It's not like you can be cleaning AND folding the laundry at the same time. Or nursing AND sweeping the floors. Sometimes you've got to only do one thing, and it's totally OKAY and GOOD to have something going on in the background to help the time pass. Will that get your counters clean? No, but damn it you're allowed to have what little bits of sanity are granted to you and you better take those suckers and hold on for dear life because they are YOURS. And i still feel that way. (:
I agree with Chi on it being about time to leave that job. Day care and the lack of respect for you as both a mother and an employee make it sound like it's time to get the heck out before they break your spirit to where it can't be repaired. I don't want to say it, but it may also force Dillon to look for another job that has better working ours and better pay because you won;t have that income to fall back on (even if it seems most of it is going to gas and child care!) Or you could look for a better job, one more suited to your position in life. Find a better day care, or even an assistant teaching position at one of the schools, if the pay is good enough Dillon can stay home with the kids. It sounds like he's horribly miserable working where he is, so the change of pace may do him good... In either case, the pros and cons list would be helpful... see if it's manageable at least. It's totally WRONG for your employer to take advantage of you like that. Really, I think YOU should site hardships as to why you should be allowed the time to pump! fuck her.
I'm finally mostly not sick! It felt like forever, even though I know that it wasn't. But Im happy about it all the same! I cancelled Girl Scouts for this Saturday anyway, I just don't want to deal with it EVERY weekend this month. I'm taking a me day. Which will actually turn into a me and the kids day, because Scott has duty. But that's okay, because I've been enjoying my time with them a lot more lately. They've not been fighting as much with each other so I get to be the nice fun mom instead of the annoyed bitter one. yay!
We got our pre approval done as well! So now we can actually start looking at houses in our price range! Which is awesome... because what we got pre approved for is actually what I've been looking at to begin with! So I'm very happy with that since I know that there are houses out there not only in my price range, but nice ones that I like. With fabulous kitchens (not totally wow me out of the water fabulous, but that can be fixed!) and a master bedroom that has a spa bath tub. I've wanted a spa bathtub for so long... just the idea gets my heart all pittery! Finally! A tub that Scott and I can both sit in together and not feel like sardines! haha. I don't mind showering with him as is, but I've grown to dispise it when he comes and joins me in my baths. There's just not enough room and I can't lay down... and ONLY SIXISH MORE MONTHS! I love it when the end is in sight!
So I haven't gotten kits or anything yet, so I can't send out samples, but would either of you be willing to do me a solid and host an online Jamberry party? I'll take care of everything else, you'll just need to invite people to the event then add them to the party page when it's time for the party. It doesn't have to be immediate or anything, but if you do want to try the wraps and end up liking the product and people are interested, you can earn some pretty nice hostess rewards and free stuff. (:

Omg... a huge huge post lost becaude because my phone died D:
In short. I might be interested in the jamberry hostess thing Mellie i just went to an online hosted party and it was super fun! I also bought my first set of wraps, which may or may not be knitting related. i won a pedi pack from the party too but i am not even sure what that entails and Dillon made fun of me that it was for your feet that is what pedi means... uh duh but i am not sure what is in it sir sarcasm...
I have been so depressed the past week has been a whirl wind it seems like so much is blurred together i almost cant tell what happened when.... or who i have spoken to about our issues.
Anyhow re jobs. i very passively approached my boss about the pumping thing. It well it went. She basically told me we will see what happens...
I was super irritated that i couldnt speak to her in private and that she brought up my unpaid daycare bill the way she did In front of a co worker no less... damn it i am doing the best i can. I have paid every other bill with no issues even earlier thennwas to be expected. But with all the excess days in december and our mortgage coming back around in January i just couldnt manage the daycare with our other bills and now we are scrimping as much as possible (ok i splsplurged $20 so not completely fruggle) to be able to survive the next wave... and the kids didnt go to daycare this month so its not like i am building up more money on top of it all... it is the same amount. But she threatened that "the board" was talking about adding a $25 late fee which made me want to roll my eyes in response considering out vp has a $1300 charge every month of which she only pays $300 so uhm yeah.....
Anyhow. As far as the pros and cons list. I know the cons significantly out weigh the pros. It is Dillon that makes me pause when considering quitting. i know he is upset or at least says he is, that i had to go back to work. And expresses regret with all of the nonsense we have gone through this year but some part of Him is glad i am working. I am not sure if he is glad because we are making "more money" or that i have "my own money" or just in that the burden isnt solely his anymore but something about his mannerisms makes me step back when i start considering quitting. I also ont know that ANYTHING cn
an drive Dillon to find more work at this point. I have been with him on multiple occasions where he is playing games in the office instead of being responsible, his fed loan is over due because he still hasnt put it into forbearance. And he sure as hell hasnt applied anywhere, but mind it is my fault he is always "asked what he is doing" when he randomly up and sdisappears into the depths of the house... i will usually rattle off thethtat i am going to hhibernate in the office or that i am doing bills back there i rarely if ever just disappear. But yeah... /gripe...
I am feeling better for the most part today, ive been harboring a head ache all day (and night) and that is getting old but emotionally i am better. I scheduled liam's first year photos this morning and also got his first birthday outfit and a few things for his cake smash outfit pieces. Ive been using my amazon card more then i should so i am hoping we can still manage to pay it 8ff. I orderEd a few birthday gifts birthday outfits and 3 humidifiers because just no on this whole sickness nonense.... no no no...
Uhm i think i covered everything... oh we got taxes done today. Should be back by the 19th of Feb which will be mostly helpful... i cant wait to knock down our credit debts

I'm STILL waiting on my W-2's! I keep thinking today will be the day! And then... it's not. </3 ugh.
A pedi pack is just the largest two wraps on a sheet, you cut down the second one into different shapes and then put it on your toes. I've seen a few videos on youtube for it, but I've yet to actually do a pedicure. Mostly because I'm not sure how the filing would wor, on my feet. My pinkie toe has a super tiny nail and I just don't see it happening... I will have to try it out eventually. I want to be able to explain the process to people so really I'm running out of time, but in short, the pedi pack is the largest two wraps on a sheet. Most people use a combination of the smaller... 7? I think to do their manicure and then they're left with the largest two. It's pretty cool, spending $15 on the ability to do two manis and two pedicures with a couple more accent nail application abilities in the mix. Compared to salon prices anyway. And the nice thing about the hostess thing is that you'll be able to get at least a couple of wraps for free. Let me know if you need any help. (:
Awww I can't believe he's going to be one already! Time sure has flown by! At least, for me. lol
Scott disappears a lot too. Just random parts of the house... adn the kids don't go looking for him. But if I take 5 minutes in the bathroom everyone starts to think that I've disappeared and am never coming back. Or if I put on a sweater because I'm cold the kids all rush to put theirs on so they can go to wherever it is I am going... I've always been jealous of a dads ability to get a moment of silence...

Had to share... I assume its a, uh, learning experience, I feel like I will likely lose a few over the next few days mostly on my right hand which I had a really hard time manipulating them onto. I also lost half a wrap it folded in on me while I was placing it... I also cut myself with my stupid scissors... Dull, dirty little bastards... And I cut myself paper cut style on them go me...

I think this is the first year we'll need H&R Block or something for taxes. I knew we'd either break even or pay in, but Cole's been freaking. I think he did them right, but he's not sure, so I'd rather we hire someone to know for sure. With the student loan interest and purchasing a home, everything's up in the air. We may need to change our federal and state withholdings, but I'd rather someone tell us that than to just do it. I told him if we change them we're really going to have to be financially responsible and take care of ourselves.
We have more snow. T___T;; Sigh. I'm glad we don't need to get out for anything.

The house does tend to change things. I hope it all goes well!
Jazzy- They look good! though a little bubbled on one edge, yes, they are a learning experience. my first set stayed on for maybe two days... well actually I used some that I wasn't too terribly fond of for practice so I kinda took a couple of them off haha But that doesn't change that they were peeling up on the fronts of the nails!
Which method did you use for applying them? I've been wanting to try out the cold method for applying....where you use a rice bag after getting them placed correctly on your nails. That way you can place and then bond them... I used a rice bag on my current manicure, but only for the one that wasn't staying (The middle finger on my right hand has a really funky nail due to being slammed in a door when I was... 3? In any case, while at first glance my fingers all look normal, the nail has a dip in it and makes applying these hard for that finger!) But the rice bag/cold method has worked great for it so far. 5 days and still holding strong!
I'm going to attempt a pedicure tonight just to see how it goes... I'm totally curious now.

I totally picked the wrong size for my fingers i think and my thumbs annoy me. They are not rounded at ALL near the cuticle so the wraps look silly... i am really grtting antsy for the free sample wraps because i wanted to mess with putting them on before these ones got here... i was using the heat method i suppose with my hair dryer...
so far these are holding up ok but i am notorious for things on my nails bugging me, i noticed only twice today that i bugged at them, which is an epic workworld record for me. They are a LOT lighter then the polished i use! By now not only would mine be chipped but they would be mostly gone because one they chip i pick until they are gone lol...
You should pm me about the party though i have no clue what i need to do, asand as i said i sem to know a lot of people who are thrthrowing jamberry parties...

Yup I spoke too soon... I pulled them all off I kept catching the air bubble gaps on my teeth :( I think it would be easier if I had them on right...

Always go a little smaller than you think you need.the nail gap isn't noticeable when other people see your nails! I have the same issue with my thumbs. I clip the top of the wrap to make it fit my thumb better. Essentially just removing the curve. I'll try to find some images to help you with choosing the right size and such..when I'm on the desk top and not the kindle. Haha

No i chose significantly smaller in some places and too big in others... the gap on one nail was huge! I am thinking that some of the issue is that my pointer middle and ring finger are so so so close in size. I actually pestered at my nail enough that it came off (nerves make me pester more and i was a bit on the high strung side last night. And once one is messed up i start teari ng at them all... so they are all off now... i think i am going to attempt to put the other parts on tonight I hope i have enough. I am going to make a huge effort to not mess with them this time. I like having pretty nails i hate that i am inclined to gnaw with nerves...
That being said. I have to do groceries... and we are pretty much broke. I got some dishes done, some laundry folded and the livingroom cleaned up. a friend is coming to help with out car (hopefully)

so I have an almost 4 year old little girl and she is my everything, I remember I made this account like a day before she was born and was looking at my posts from then, I haven't even been on since then. but going back looking at my post I thought it was kinda silly saying I had a cute baby. what I should have said is I had the most beautiful little girl in the world. Its impossible to understand how your parents love you until you have your own child. I mean you love your parents back and all but when you have a kid its a different kind of love. you have to protect them, comfort them, be there for them in every way that you can. and they grow up so fast I miss my baby not being able to run around everywhere having full blown converstations/arguments with me, I love her even more the older she gets but still miss/cherish those moments.

Sounds productive all the same! We uh... watched Star wars all day. xD And I spent a good two ish hours looking at houses and judging most of them unworthy... or too flippan far away. It bugs me that my realtor was sending me houses in Oceanside when I KNOW that oceanside is a good hour + away from the base in San Diego and I told her nothing more than 40 minutes away. Her response being "oh, the only thing that would make it more than 40 minutes is traffic!" ... uh sweetie, no. I've lived there, I know Cali, and I know cali traffic. You can't fool me. Nice try though.
I picked at the nails when I first wore them too. Even now there are times when they start to peel up (mine have been on for almost a week now, and my nails are growing out so when I run my fingers through my hair, which I do often, teh backs get caught in my hair. I should be able to fix it tonight with the rice baggy warmer thing just to reset the edges, but it makes me want to peel at them all the same.
>.> Still waiting on my W-2 forms. uuuuuugh! They better be in the mail tomorrow so I can start scanning this shit in and get it sent over to my tax guy or I'm going to be very annoyed!! We NEED to get this engine done sooner rather than later to make sure the van is in working condition for the road trip! Ain't nobody got time for dilly dallying!
ABC: I totally understand! I've been organizing my pictures lately and deleting some of the ones just taking up space... but man just looking at the kids pictures from 4 years ago it's crazy how much they've changed! And then there's the ones from 6 and 8 and 10 years ago... I can't believe how quickly they've grown! It's pretty awesome watching them blossom into their own person. Children are truly amazing. <3

I have an aunt in oceanside. And yup traffic lots of traffic. Though last i was there it was beautiful!!! That was 15 years ago or more o.o
Did you get your w2's today? I hope soo waiting is awful!
Just looking at the nails being pulled i have almost $50 (more once tax and shipping get put in btw shipping on these is absolutely rediculous) in jamberry stuff i want to buy. :/ I hate our finances right now... it makes me so so so mad that i can't even get 10-15$ in things without feeling the pain to our finances. We have 3 bills currently, well 4 because mortgage was due too. All due this week. And i was only able to skimp enough from almost 3 full checks worth of saving to to pay the mortgage and our larger credit card. It is so disheartening. I am trying to remember exactly how blessed i am. I really am... but it is hard. So hard. I feel like anytime we plan or save life goes to hell we had probably close to $200 saved and between picture (which are not needed i know, and trying to make bills it is ALL gone... then there is just one thing after another pulling our money, time, energy and sanity out from under us. The caucar the house the kids it is maddening. And i am getting physical reprocussions for it all... in the form of anxiety attacks... going on night 2 straight.....
That being said its about to get even worse. So apparently the infant teacher got another job recently And thus quit. So i will be coming in Wednesday and possibly all of next week. I am in part tempted to say that if they dont offer me the full time infant position that i am going to bow out. Its not so much that i want the position (well i do in a way but i dont think i am ready to return to full time work) but the idea of some random person being hired for regular hours while i am on the wayside barely getting anything makes me really angry... being able to say nah i cant do full time i think it would be better but yeah...
@ABC Kids are so amazing. It is so amazing to watch them grow and learn! The love you feel is indescribable even on bad days its there!
