Guess where we are going?

Yep, you guessed it, Great America. I just made our reservations. We are going for 2 days. It is only going to cost $400 for 2 days and 4 people. That includes our hotel and the tickets.

I already have money saved.

The kids are going to have a BLAST! On second thought I am going to have a blast.

We are going to have my bf's daughter and I don't think she has ever been to an amusement park before. My bf is bummed because he won't get to go on any rides. He is too big.

I said to him "who cares we are doing it for the kids not for ourselves." All I know is that I will be happy as long as the kids have a good time.

Oh ello,
Stressed out is hardly what I would call this....
Anxious, excited, overwhelmed now that is the least of it.
I only have 9 days to get my crap together for the big move. I have been in my current house for almost 9 years and now I am beginning to see why. I am hating the packing process. I have thrown out so much junk. For instance, I still had prerecorded VHS tapes and cassette tapes. What the heck was I hanging on to that junk for. I finally tossed it. I just wish I had tons of money so I could pay someone to pack and move my stuff and clean my house for me. I want to be able to get most of my deposit back for my existing place.
Yesterday I called all the utility company's and transferred services and they wanted to charge me a $90 transfer fee for the power. I said what the heck is that for? They said it was a mistake and they would take care of it. Thank god. All the other utility companies didn't charge me anything. The gas company said my first bill was going to be like $230. Holy crap that is a car payment. After that it should go down to $105 a month. That is $3 cheaper than our bill now. We will be in a bigger house with cheaper bills. I like the sound of that.
I feel like I am the only one doing anything around the house. I know he (my bf) is helping out but he could always do more as far as I am concerned. He should be doing it all while I am kicking back drinking a beer and doing my nails.
A girl can dream can't she?

Better news!!!
I got the JOB! Woo Hoo.
I am so darn happy with my life right now. My life is finally coming together.
The three people who did the interviews went to lunch to decide who was best for the job. Before they came back Amanda and I were talking and I told her she better tell me if she got the job as soon as she finds out and she said I better do the same.
So, I was sitting at my desk when someone came up to me and told me that one of the applicants (not Amanda) didn't get the job. I thought to myself that is great one less person I have to worry about. Then I got called into this room with my current Teal Leader and she told me that they wanted to offer me the job. I was ecstatic! I was so thankful. After I came out of the room I went back to my desk and starting on my work as usual.. Amanda wouldn't say one word to me. I felt so bad but they offered me the job because they said I did great on my interview. I honestly didn't think I did that well. Guess I was wrong. :)
Amanda, didn't talk to me for the rest of the day. She did of course e-mail me. Basically, letting me know that she wasn't upset with me, just really hurt. She thought for sure she had the job. She said she didn't want to talk to me cause she didn't want to cry.
Well today is another day and she still really doesn't want to talk to me. Whatever. I didn't do anything wrong. She will get over it.

Great news!!!!
We got the house! I am going to give them my written 30 day notice today. I am very happy that I am getting out of the ghetto. My son on the other hand is not so happy. He didn't talk to me for about an hour after I told him. He doesn't want to have to go to a different school. I told him he can stay at his current school but he would have to go to morning latch key since I have to work so early. He didn't like that idea either. I can't make everyone happy. I am sure he will get over it. Besides he only has to finish this year and next year and then he will be off to Middle school. Yikes!
The only thing that will make my life complete right now would to hear four simple words...YOU GOT THE JOB!!!!!

Good morning all!
Job
Well no news on the new job. I guess they are hoping to make a decision by the beginning of next week. There are quite a few people that interviewed for the position. I hope that if I don't get it that my friend Amanda gets it. She works with the Bankruptcy and Recovery department and should get paid more for all that she has to deal with. Good luck Amanda!

House
So I called the Realtors yesterday to see what the verdict was on the house. They were supposed to let me know on Friday how the credit report went. I called on Friday and they said that they guy who was working with me was out sick and should probably be back in on Saturday and will give me a call then. I never received a call from him. Monday morning rolls around and it is driving me nuts not knowing what was going on. So, I called first thing on Monday and they were in a staff meeting. By this time I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation. I told myself I would give him until after lunch to call me back. Lunch came and went and still no call back. I said to myself "screw it" I am calling. So I called again and was able to get him on the phone. I asked him if he had any news on the credit report and he said everything came back okay and that he was just waiting for a return phone call from the owner. I guess they need the owners okay to proceed with the move in. So yet we wait for another approval. Hopefully we will find out more info today.
Men
On another note...
My bf ex wife is the DEVIL in disguise. This past Christmas we had custody of my bf's daughter. The ex sent the daughter with presents from her and a present for her best friend (the ex). I thought to myself "does she really think we are going to go out of our way to deliver this present to her best friend who lives in Reno." I don't think so! So the present has been sitting in the closet since Christmas. I should have thrown it away or sent it back up the Washington, where she lives. So the ex called my bf yesterday and asked him to bring the present with him to work so they can meet up and he can give it to her. I thought, who does this bitch think she is! Why does she have to make up any kind of excuse to see him? So he calls me and asks me if I know where the present is and I said NOPE. He said well I will look for it when I get home. Whatever...
So, as soon as I get home I find it and hide the damn thing. He doesn't need to see her stanky ass. Besides, it is just a bunch of dollar store crap. Like plastic nic nacs and a stupid bar of soap that is formed in the shape of lips. How dumb is that.
This morning he called me to let me know that he forgot his cell phone and if I needed to get in touch with him to call his work phone. I said "I thought you were supposed to meet your ex?" He said "well I forgot my phone and besides that I am pretty busy today."
Phew...thank god. She is thee nastiest witch I have ever met. She has done everything and anything in the book to break us apart. Good thing our love is strong enough to overcome all this pety bullshit.
