How time flies.....and then u cant remember what happened.

I know I know, its been a long time since I posted, hey life gets you. With having moved into my rents house, having a kid drop out of preschool, husband finally find a job, and summer break starting a lot has happened.

On the home front, we have not finished moving the house in Midlo, but have started taking crap to a storage unit. Its a long process and with JB only off Sun and Mon it makes it a lil harder. Cant have the my dad watch the girls on Mon bc its too hard for him. So we have to try and do it on Sundays, but it was fathers day and who wants to spend all that time moving.

Also just a thought on June 17th that would have been Amelia's birthday if she had decided or I decided to keep her in my tummy. But who knows she could have been 10lbs by then.  Since her days of dropping out, she has since decided she wants to return to school for Kindergarten.  When it was time for Elizabeth's last days she realize that she would not graduate with her friends and that she would not be able to go to KG, I reassured her that is not the case, but it gave the kick in the ass that she missed school. So that is good thing. We also got a uniform from JB's cousin, bc they have taken their kids out of the school.

And I completely understand why, but I am going to at least get Amelia thru KG and then decide after that. I am hoping that maybe dumb ass principle has figured it out why people are leaving. But I am going to make a strong effort to call the Archdioce and Public Health this year. It was just a horrible epidemic of health concerns last year, and I learned all to late about them. Because trust me I know what exactly to say to Public Health to get them to go in rapidly.

On JB getting a job its awesome, but at the same time sucky, no benifits, long hours and only gets paid to deliver the packages not load them on the truck. But its nice having some income.

I also just had to make a birthday hat for JBs cousins kid for his 1st birthday. I hope they like it. It is my biggest fear and reason I do not sell my crap, who is going to like it.

Thats really all I have right now, but I am sure something stupid or crazy will happen soon, so I will get back to you on that.

Living With your Rents....So AwEsOmE!!!!!

So its been about two months since I moved in with my parents. I know join the millions who have already done so. I thank them and love them for their generosity but at the same time they are driving me fucking insane. And they know this....so if u either of u read this don't be mad.

The girls are fine they have their room which I am still in since we do not have our bed over here yet from the ever declining Midlothian. I read the other day the median house price from 2010 to 2011. Midl was 135,000 to now 99,000. No fucking duh, its a total dump now. U can find at least 10 house in a two block radius of mine for foreclosure. Good job banks, bc guess what no one is knocking on the door asking to buy these houses.  But I digress.....

We only have two tv's in the house, which leads me to either watch old people crap or kid crap. Oh the joys.  During the day since I'm not gainfully employed and told about that everyday I have to choose btw Soccer or Bubble Guppies. I chose the later. I try to go on that new invention called the Internet, but I find it boring and takes forever to find things that I want to learn about.

I have been reading some books on my phone, I have so far read: Bitter is the new Black.....by Jen Lancaster, True Compass by Ted Kennedy, Two Agatha Christie novels, and some other crap that I cant even remember now. I have yet to pick up my copy of The Help my husband pinched and saved to buy me for my birthday, since I watched the movie I am finding it hard to read. Maybe in two years I can read it.

I look for self help books to get me out of this funk I like to call bullshit cosmic joke. But yeah its a nice place to live. Laugh off all my problems, hope for the best, apply for ten thousand jobs and get NO call backs.  I have been getting together with gurlfriends once a month, but that only seems to get me in a deeper funk, bc I do not want to purden them with my crap since guess what we all have crap.  I don't want to get  in a pissing contest to see who;s life is shittier.

Amelia has since stopped going to school which is so much fun. She says she hates school and they make fun of her, etc. We have taken her to see a child psych bc at this point she has been like this since August, and its exhausting. She thinks its separation anxiety, I think its that and social anxiety and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. But hey all I am is a stupid ass who cannot find a job so what do I know.  We are going back in a week, to let her know the chore chart, the not fighting with her, not pressuring her to go to school, reading the books about not being scared is not working. Bc guess what we have been doing this since Aug.

I have also applied for ten thousand other jobs for Bonezilla in his field and not his field, with no such luck. We are willing to move the fuck out of Illinois to be valid human beings in the world. I just applied for a job for him in Milwaukee, its what he did, can we please get a call back, we will figure it out. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Karma please come our way, bc we have helped others get jobs and it has never been returned for either of us.

I guess this is a pretty long blog. So lets stop here and see what awaits me in the next.

The American Dream

The American Dream does it even exsist anymore? Alot of people have been asking that lately. With the economy sucking, the political parties at each other throats and what not. But do I believe anymore....

Im finding that harder and hard to find lately. I am in the midst of a foreclosure. Moved back into my parents with my children and husband. Neither my husband or I can find a job. And it just seems like it keeps getting worse.

Last year I applied for at least 100 jobs and I only had two interviews. I did have an interview on 2nd of the new year. Oh it went well, so well he was like this job is totally yours, I just want to interview the others for fun. No call, no email. Nothing. Why lead me on, just state I have four others to interview and I will contact the best one, b.s. Don't lead me on. Shit I have no hope.

The HOPE is gone. I cant even remember what it looked like. I think I had dreams of doing this and that, but I can't remember. My dream the great American DREAM, what is that?!?

My father came here from England 40yrs ago to find that dream. He may have not become Steve Jobs, but he did better than his parents. My mother came here when she was 5 yrs old from Puerto Rico, she did better than her parents. And all I have to show for it, is that I am living with them.

How do I tell or teach my children to believe in something I cant even believe in. Its a whole other world out there. People are unemployed, protesting, stealing, killing. Losing their minds and money to just have it taken from them.

I know I should not complain, I am better off than some, but hey each person has the right...to believe in something.

In the year 2012

In the year 2012 I would like to accomplish the following things.....

1. Find the inner strength to not be afraid to try my hand at my crafts. BC really if I fail at least I could say I tried.

2. Make sure my lil family transistions as well as anyone does from losing the only house they have lived in. To having to move in with their grandparents.

3. To work at my marriage, this has been a very trying past year for us. We have never once said lets end it then, but we have gotten so frustrated with each other I am afraid it might start coming down to saying it just to hurt each other.

4. This should probably be no. 1 but, it cannot be, I tried that once and I was miserable. Find a job that affords me the ability to still have time with my family.

5. Be a better friend. I think I suck at it really bad. I need to start calling, hanging out with friends more often. I just don't do it bc I feel like such a pathetic loser and do not want to burden them with my shit.

6. Live life geninunly. I take for granted alot of the moments that are great, and turn them into shit. I have to learn to be happy and not so miserable all the time.

7. To learn the secret.

8. To use my blog more often to get things off my chest and mind. I bottle things up so often that it explodes. And it never feels better afterwards.

So as of right now I am going to start working on these things. I hope to keep to them.
