Long time no blogging

Hello! It's been a couple weeks since I've blogged, nothing major has been going on, just lazy I guess. :)

Everything is going pretty well, work has been good...training has been busy and a litle stressful at times but I like it.

Wednesday was Amy's birthday and today is Kari's...Happy Birthday to both of you! :)

Speaking of Amy, she'll be in town this coming Friday for a week and I can't wait. We're going to go and get pedicures together, I'm looking forward to it. I'm also looking forward to seeing John & Isabelle again too. This is one of the good parts of being back "home", I get to see Amy more often because she's from this area too. I can't wait until I have some time off work and go out and see her new house, it sounds beautiful!

Jason will also be here in a couple weeks and I can't wait for that too. I have to say how much I love my brother, we were the typical brother & sister growing up and I admit that I was hell to live with but as we've gotten older and especially since we've lost our mom 13 years ago we've become best of friends. I love it.

Speaking of my mom, I got the freakiest phone call the other nite. I didn't recognize the phone # but answered it anyway, this lady says to me "can you talk?" and I didn't recognize the voice so I said "who is this?" and she said "your mother"....I had to stop for a minute and then said "I'm sorry you must have the wrong number" and hung up. Talk about freaky! I wanted to tell her that that was impossible because my mom was dead but that would have been rude. It's funny because sometimes I forget that my mom is gone and then sometimes it feels like it's been forever. Weird.

Not sure what I'm going to do today. I got up and threw some clothes on and headed to the pet store because I realized that my kitties were out of dry cat food, so I ran out & picked that up and got myself some coffee. I've been doing laundry & cleaning. I'm thinking of asking Darcy is she wants to go to the casino either tonight or tomorrow but I know how I am about casinos and not sure if it's a good choice right now because I like to spend money there. ha ha.

Speaking of money, my bank messed up my bank account last week big time. I checked my balance and they were telling me I only had $12! My checkbook said around $175 so I knew they were wrong. I freaked out and sent Matt an IM to ask him for help, he was such a jerk about it and grilled me about did I call the bank? Am I going to get it straightened out? So I just said screw it and told him nevermind, I'd figure it out myself. Fortheloveofgod, I left with nothing. Yes, I know it was my choice but we are still married and he only has had to replace dishes & silverware whereas I have to replace EVERYTHING. I didn't think it was too much to ask, plus I've also told him that I won't ask for alimony. He called me the next day and apologized for being a jerk and I ended up transferring some money from our joint account (my name is still on it) into my personal checking account. He tends to forget that I'm starting over, I took a huge cut in pay and I'm struggling. I hate asking for help but technically, if I wanted to be a snotty about the whole thing I could go after him for alimony due to the fact that we've been married for 15 years and that the standard of living that I became accustomed to has gone down drastically. Ugh. I don't want things to get nasty between us but I feel that I really got the short end of the stick and I'm going to make a list of all that I left behind, try to determine a dollar value and present it to him. I don't want to have to get an attorney but I feel like I might have to, I don't want to get screwed and I think that I've put myself into a position where I am.

Oh-well, sorry for that rant!

That's all I've got for now, I'll try to be better about blogging!

Hope everyone has a nice weekend! :)
