hmmmmm well,
I have to say that the drama that is around me isn't my own.......which is very nice. For once my immediate circle is rather peaceful. The boys are doing fairly well, my relationship is coming along nicely, I have a job and a roof over my head.
The flip side.......my sister is as always a mess...but seems to be hanging in there. My cousin that I haven't seen in well over ten years sent a letter asking for a place to stay. I feel terrible that I cannot offer him a room. There just isn't any room to offer. My mom and dad are fighting like cats and dogs.....ugh. And way too many of them have been in the hospital as of late. My grandfather......he is so ready to leave this life. I do pray for him every day and night. hmmmmm reading back over this...its really not drama at all......its life.
Good morning my darling journal.
Spring is here and so very welcomed! However winter is trying for that one last blast. :o) We went from the 60's down to now expecting 3-4 inches ......of snow.
The boys and I turned the garden over last weekend and spiced it up a bit with some veggie soil. Getting ready to plant some veggies. My chives are growing like wild fire right now. I need to cut them back already. We eat a lot of acorn squash and spaghetti squash, the boys saved some seeds .......they have managed to work their way behind the shed.....so we will let them grow and see what comes of them. It would be nice to not have to go the the market for any veggies.
I might even plant some asparagus (sp). It takes about 3 years before you can harvest any I should have started that a few years ago....
anyways. as you see I am in garden mode....but I need to be other wise the things that are bothering me will eat me alive and I cannot afford that to happen. .............that will be another entry when I have some alone timeto write about the latest drama .....lol
Well lets see......
Its seems that I have been brought into my new company to be the hatchet man ......er woman.
Our assistant hasn't been pulling her duties for quite some time and it seems that noone wanted to say anything or deal with it. Whimps! I have been at this particular office for near a month now and she has consistantly neglected her work......I was thinking that since I was the newest person she was just being hateful to me..lol. But it seems that she doesn't do half of what she is suppose to and so the closers (that would be me and one other person) get our file the day before a closing (which we should have at least 3-5 day before) and then we have to finish up the processing before we can close.
Well I emailed out an outline of how things should go and how we as a team should work together. Well that was last thursday. I sent out the email and went to a luncheon. After the luncheon I had a long conversation with my marketing manager. She has had problems with this processor since day one. So from the luncheon I went down to our main office and talked with the regional manager. She was glad to have seen the email I sent out. She said it needed to be done and was glad I did it. She then told me that the processor called her and wanted a meeting with her first thing friday morning. So the regional and I talked and agreed that things aren't working out with this person so she will have to either get with the program or find a new job. Well friday morning came around and the regional manager came out, had her meeting with the processor and came to let us closers know that she turned in her resignation. So we are now working on getting a new processor that will be properly trained and will be glad to have a job.
The way things are today.......I don't think having a nasty attitude is the way to keep a job.
I have a wedding party to attend this weekend and noticed that my little black dress is looking a little .....out of date and faded :o(
I went shopping tonight and made out like a banditt. I got two dresses for the price of one and they were a size smaller than I thought I was!!! Yes Yes Yes......happy dance
YaY It's mid March and I was told that for sure I get to go to London !!! and Paris!!!
Got the vacation time booked at work the first week in October. My birthday woo hoo!!!
I cannot believe it. I am back to work had my taxes done. Was two months behind on my house note. Finally had all the money and called the bank to make sure exactly the amount to send them and how to send it.
I sent them the exact amount and called the other day to make sure they got it. It seems that they rejected my funds!!!!!!!! ARe you fucking kididng me!!!?????? So at the moment my money is in limbo waiting to be put back into my account so I can then turn around call the fucking bank and do a check by phone....and they want to charge me $15 to do that!!!
WTF.......OMG I spoke to two customer service people and they cannot understand why the funds were rejected. They verified that the amount was right and the way it came to them was right. You know its hard enough in this day to get things done but when you have to do it twice!!
I am trying to breathe...............

Maybe you should talk to the bank manager, the problem is with their side, they should not be charging you for their mistakes.
Yep Yep I am working on that. I will be talking to them on Tuesday. :o)
it pours.....
In the last 48 hours...........my dad's nephew has been told he might have a brain tumor (he's only 23 and a brilliant successful man already) then his sister finds out that something is wrong with her spleen. She is home from college.......getting test. My dad was told that he is a walking timebomb. Only 25% of his heart is working....he will just drop dead one day. :o(
My aunt was rushed to the er today......doubled over in pain....not sure what is up with that yet.
And Grandpa.......he has been in the hospital for near a week now. It seems that 1/2 of his current breathing decided not to work anymore. He only has a very small portion of his lungs left and most of them are now not working. And they are giving him blood via IV.....................seems he is loosing it ??????
Monday my little guy fell in PE at school around 2pm an hour before school let out. The nurse called said he was ok for the most part. Just a bump on the head and a scraped up nose. He stayed the night at his dads. Tuesday around noon I got a call from my mom (who watches the boys) she said she had him home with her. He had thrown up durning the night in his sleep. Didn't know till his dad woke him for school. Grrrrrrr I sorta had a very small panic attack. Left work and went to get him. He seemed kinda sluggish. Got to the doctor she said take him to the ER I want a CT scan. Great......I was sorta shocked to hear that. He has taken a few hard blows to the head when fighting with his brother this just caught me off guard. Anyways.....by the time we got to the hospital he was feeling fairly well. The resident Dr. looked him over and said he seemed fine to him. But, since his pediatrician (sp) ordered a CT scan he had to have one. Turns out........he does have a brain! :o) and a very slight concussion. But he's a kid and will bounce back pretty quick.
Ah.......I think things are looking up. With my new job, ugh.....I am still trying to make peace with it. I don't like it but, I will in time get use to it. It will pay the bills and make things better. Anyways with the new job, and my tax return things are back on track. The bills are caugh back up and I won't lose the house. Its a bit easier to sleep and breathe now. It was a hard three months but I am hoping that spring will bring easier times........
I managed not to borrow money from anyone and make it on my own. I take pride in that. I know my grandfather would have helped if I would have asked. But, I have never leaned on him for money and I certainly wasn't going to start now. I told him of my situation and I think he was waiting for me to come ask for help. But, when I came to him and told him of my success the look on his face was worth more than any gold or silver in the world. He raised me well. I am a survivor and he knows it. Hmmm I feel very good about being able to show him what I can do.
