New Changes

The last two days have been extremely busy. Monday I had an appointment at 8:15a.m. with Ross Medical School, I had Ernie go with me. Things couldn't have went better. It amazes me how perfect of a fit that school actually is. Which made it even easier for me to decided that that's where i wanted to go. With that decision made Ernie and I went back today and filled out the finical aid paperwork. I'm taking the Medical Assistant course. It's a 7 month course, I start Monday April 30, 2012 and I will be graduating Thursday November 29, 2012. Fast pace but it's what i need its pretty much all hands on, which is even better. So I'm already on the right track to a better life, I have tons of support. I qualified for the max of every loan which was a nice relief. So now its just time for me to take a little breather until school starts. *sigh*

Spring?

Spring is a time for everything to wake up and the prefect time for a fresh new start. Sometimes this can be a tricky thing to balance. New things require patience, time, and a lot of attention depending on what the object is.(kinda sound like a woman doesn't it? lol) But anything that grows needs these things. Michigan springs make this even more difficult. Anyone that lives in Michigan knows what I'm talking about. If you don't I'll explain. Living in Michigan you learn that you always keep a coat or blanket in your vehicle. Just because it's 80 and sunny when you leave the house in the morning doesn't mean it's not going to be 25 and snowing when you leave. (I think you get the point now).

This year I've been really busy already. I have two roses planted some flowers and vegetables. Which I'm starting to think I might have lost the ones in the pots because of all the rain we just got. So it's back to the drawing board. That's if i can't save them i am going to try tho. I still have a lot that I do need to plant I should be out there today maybe I'll go out a little later. I've already mowed the lawn twice this year. The yard still needs a little work. Mainly in front of the house and around the deck. But I am very pleased with how things are coming along.

Just like the yard the inside of the house is slowly coming along as well. About a week ago Ernie mounted the t.v. to the wall and put the shelf up. It looks really nice. There still are a few things that need to be done like the drywall on the outside walls but it'll happen in time. cause then there's painting and we're going to get those cord covers so there's not cords all over the wall like there is now. We have more done then what I figured we would. For only being here for 6 months we have a lot more then what I figured. But I'm not complaining at all it's nice.

Another thing about spring besides all the new and fresh things. Elizabeth is going to be 3. Can you believe it my little baby girl is going to be 3 in 10 days. Didn't we just bring her home? It feels like it. She's getting the potty training thing she's not doing to bad with it now. Of course an accident here and there. But now how to make it special for her??

Somethings been sitting very heavy on my mind. Ernie and I talking about it last night and I know he'll help me out and support me. I know I have friends that well also support me. Right now I know I have a dead end job. But it's money coming in which is better then nothing. I'm toying with the idea of going to school. It's scares the ever loving shit out of me. It really does. I know I can do it. I just have to decided what area I want. So if I seem like I'm out of it or scatter brained that's why my minds going in a million different directions. I'm gonna be 28 in 5 months and i need to do something already.

When I was working for Renaissance I enjoyed my work I just hated the people I worked with. A bunch or children that didn't give to shits about the work they had to do and I get fired. Fuck them! (sorry if you cant tell I have a grudge with that company). Ernie did call me out on that holding me back from doing what I really want to do. He's right i was letting it effect me. Time to find that game face again. Guess I'm going to find out who my real friends are. I have an idea of the ones that well keep pushing me. I want to say Thank you now *hugs*

*Sigh*

I don't know really where to start There's a lot and I mean a lot going on... I know its been for ever since I've typed anything. Losing Grandpa (my dad's dad) really took its toll on me. Then I found out not long after that my grandma (my mom's mom) was in the hospital It took a little while but they figure out what was wrong with her. She has Bullous Pemphigoid so mom and dad are moving her in with them now, So they can keep a closer eye on her.

This goes without saying but with a heavy heart I decided that its time to sell my truck. I don't regret deciding that this is the best choice since it is just way to small. I can say that I am going to miss the hell out of it tho. It was either keep my truck and sell the car or sell the car and keep my truck. The smart choice is to keep the car. It has more room in it so it only makes sense. Plus we won't be without a truck since Ernie's going to be buying on this year. But the money I get from selling the truck is going to go into the little work the car needs then the left over money maybe I'll get a tattoo or two. I'll just have to wait and see.....

On another note... This weekend is an exciting one!!!! Amanda's winterfest this this Saturday! I can't wait to see her all dressed up it's going to be so much fun. (Yes I'm going to take a lot of pictures!!) The dress looks so nice on her. She's such a good kid, I love having her around. Some people just can't seem to understand that she just 15 she needs to be able to be a teenager and this is just one of those teenager things. Friday after she gets out of school her and I have to go up and pick up some last minute things. Then mess around with her hair a bit.

I love you grandpa

I guess I'm slacking,,,,

Once again I'm falling behind in my blogs. It is starting to bug me cause really its the only way for me to get my thoughts out. Not to mention its a good way to keep track of things that have happen. Not to mention sometimes i have a lot to say depending on whats going on.

We finally moved it was a fast move to. We're on the other side of the park. It's a lot nicer over here more kids for Andrew and Elizabeth to play with. Not to mention I love the house its nice we all have our own rooms and two bathrooms. To top it all off it only needs little things done to it little drywall work Ernie says it isn't a big deal at all. Of course thank you to Roberta and Terry for helping us move it really does mean a lot to us.

Ernie finally got out of retail. (Thank god!!!) He's now doing the same thing as me, today he's finishing his classes I'm very happy for him he got a 96% on his med test. From what I understand he likes it so far. I hope that its something he'll like doing its a good field to be in. But we're off to a good start with him liking it right now so that's a plus.

So not to long ago I picked up a kitten. Oh course Ernie named it. Which it's name is fitting Snicker's but it does look like a snickers bar lol. Karma likes her the kittens always grabbing her nose. It's pretty funny.

Right now I'm getting some mad hours at work. Which mainly has to do with something I did. I got a girl fired for smoking weed on the clock. That's one thing that pisses me off, What people do on their own time is them but there's no reason to being doing that at work our job isn't stressful by any means. She should have seen it coming I told her the first day I worked with her if she ever told me she was smoking weed on the clock I would file a report on her. So what does the dumb-ass do tells me she took to hits. But of course it's every ones fault but her own. When well people grown up?? So for now everyone at work likes me cause I did something none of them had the balls to and that's call and report which if i have to i'll do it again. I'm not having the people I take care of every night get hurt because someone can't wait 8hours to get home to be stupid.

Well that's pretty much it for right now I think. I promise I'll try not to wait 2 months before i post again. lol

Sorry it's been so long.....

Okay so it's been about 3 months since I posted anything at all. That's longer then I really wanted to wait. I need to get in the habit of doing my posts I got to much build up that I need to get out. Which of course my blog is my way of getting my thoughts out of my head wither their good or bad. By blog is just my escape plus a good way to be able to reflect on things later on.

Let's see where to start..... I guess old business first is a good way right??

Okay old business:

So the crazy bitch of a neighbor is still doing what she can to try to start crap. For some reason she feels the need to mow our yard. (which screws it up cause she does a really bad job and waits for weeks at a time). It's just really getting old. Her kids keep throwing their football at the house, or run around in our front yard. Which with this last time I told the oldest boy "If you hit my house with that football or anything else for that matter again from this point on I well call the cops and I well file a police report make sure your mother knows this." So far I must have gotten thru cause they haven't hit the house.

Then of course she's got a new boyfriend he's arabic. I caught the asshole looking in our windows a few times. Which is just flat out creepy. You look over and theirs this guy looking in your windows yuck! So of course we went thru the whole house and put blinds up. We're hoping that soon the park well have a three bedroom (Not holding our breath on it tho) so we can get away from her. Since it's pretty much going to be the only answer the park wont do anything about her kids hitting our house or messing with out lot even tho in the lease it says that they well take care of it if it can't be settled between the two parties. But our next step is getting a hold of the park managers boss and talking to them cause they keep giving us the run around whenever we go in to talk to them.

Now the Newer News:

I started a new job. I got hired in July 6th. I went back to a part of the field of work that I was studying in high school. I'm working third shift at an adult foster care home. I really enjoy working there, the other midnight and I get along really well. I look at the clients as my family. I'm there enough it really was bound to happen right? lol I think I'm adjusting to the hours pretty well. Some days are a little harder then others but still they aren't bad.

Ernie's been having issues at work. His store manager got canned due to her own stupidity. But of course it's everyone else fault but her own. So now there's this other manager from another store that's coming in on her power trip, and in her process of tring to fix the store she's turning it into a bigger mess. So of course Ernie's looking for a different job. I can't say that i blame him with all the crap that's going on in that store. I hope he finds something that he actually enjoys. It's stressful having a job you dont enjoy.

Well it happen Ernie let me get a dog. August 12th we picked up Karma, she's a beautiful 3 year old purebred rottweiler. From the day we picked her up she's been amazing with us. She loves the kids. Since we've gotten her we dont have a problem with the neighbor looking into the windows anymore. If we go out we have to make sure that the windows are closed and the blind are open if we can't take her with us. If we dont the blind well be broken and she well be standing on the porch when we get home. It was a learning curb the first time for us lol. Now I just have to figure out what she's having the allergic reaction to. Right now we have her on Iams so I'm not sure if it's the food or not. Time to figure it out tho. But we love her and she's mine. lol

We had a visit plus i'm venting a little...

So as a few of you know we had a visit from CPS (child protective Services) yesterday. The claim that was made was that: "The baby sitter leaves Andrew home alone." Ernie and I both looked at the caseworker like she was crazy. The case worker also informed us that she didn't even know that we had Elizabeth until Andrew told her about her. Pretty fucked up don't you think? Of course we went out to tell the case worker that Andrew nor Elizabeth is ever left home alone. That the babysitter is their grandmother and their step grandfather. Ernie's mom stays home with Elizabeth while his step father gets Andrew from the bus which he drive the truck down to pick him up so no ones in the drive way.

The case worker looked things over. Looked in the frig, told us more then enough food thats good. Looked at the kids bedrooms She seemed pleased with them as well. Then checked the other things she had to look for that we have power, gas and water, asked the question that had to be answered. In not so many words she told us that she has 30days to close the case but sees no reason to keep it open.

Yes we already know who made this bullshit call. All it shows is that she has to much time on her hands and she's childish. But on the other hand I can go around saying that my house was approved by the state as safe for children. How many people can say that uh?

 At the same time we're sure that this is just the beginning with the neighbor. Since any time she comes outside she looks in whatever window have the shades pulled back. Yesterday i gave her something to look at when i flipped her off and told her to "take a picture it would last longer." She stated to laugh and said "I got you good so fuck you."  I just think it's funny cause whatever she thinks she did she just made herself look stupid. Ernie and I take very good care of our children and our animals for that matter.

Unlike her we don't just take off and leave our kids at home. We take proper care of our animals which means letting them out more then maybe once or twice a day. We both actually drive and have vehicles so we can be responsible parents and make sure our kids get to places they need to go. It's more important to us that our kids are taken care of and a roof over their heads then me getting my nails and hair done.

I'll be so glad when we can just fucking move. It sucks cause i like the house but at the same time it is to small for us. we really do need a 3 bedroom.
