My not so Fairy Tale life :)

So how about life sucks!  I have a husband who doesn't work, or even tries to work.  He doesn't do a thing ar ound the house. Nothing. I work full time, am 9 months pregnant and have to do everything on my own.  I am about to have a baby in less then three weeks and won't be able to work, there for no income.  It's a miracle I haven't gone into labor early b/c of all this stress.

How did things get so far?

Saturday: Went to my mom's for dinner. We had to re=heat our meals cause they ate earlier. Since she is diabetic now she has to eat at the same times each day. That bites.

Sunday: Went to Jason's parents house. Has hot dogs.

Monday: Did my usual, laundry. More fun stuff. Got a call from the doctors that my glucose test came back high. So I have to go back next Wednesday for 3 hours and have them take my blood every hour and give me more of that drink to drink. Prior to that I have to be on a 3 day diet of Ucka food. ERR. Majorily bumming cause I don't want to be limited to what I can eat! Plus this most likely indicates that I will be diabetic later in life. ARGH

Tuesday: Went to Family video and rented The Ringer, The Benchwarmers, The Hills have eyes, and Scary MOvie 4. Are DVD burner is working now.. So we have new movies LOL.. Awesome.

Wednesday: Burned the DVD's. Relaxed. I needed it. Been feeling overly tired.

Thursday: Made covers for our new dvd's. Came out good. Diana the girl Iwork with is leaving. Next week is her last week. I am probably getting her position or sharing it with some other girl which means taht I will get a pay increase, nice since I will be going on maternity shortly.

Next Tuesday I am going to Birch Run with my mom and Q. Getting Gavin and baby winter clothes since neither of them have any. Probably pick myself up and few things as well. I deserve it LOL.

I guess that is all. Thrilled ot burn dvd's, just want to keep doing it.. Bummed about the diabetes. Thrilled about Birchrun, and soon to be going up north AWESOME>

Friday: Had my brother and J's sister stay the night. Brandon and his friend came over later to play tag, it was fun.

Saturday: Worked and ate dinner at my mom's. Was super pissed at J b/c when I got home from work early not a damn thing was done around the house, he sat on his ass all day long playing video games and had his buddies come over. Last time I checked he wasn't a unemployed loser.

Sunday: Didn't go to J's parents house b/c he didn't go to my mom's. I am tired of him pulling this shit.

Monday: Picked the kids up to stay the night again. Rach and Steve came over to play tag as well. It was fun.

Tuesday: PLayed video games with the kids, went to walmart and got some more storage bins, and rented Hostel. We watched it. It was OK. The first 50 minutes were like a porno, then the rest of the movie was kind of retarded. Not as gory as everyone made me beleive. No worse then Saw.

Wednesday: Had my doctors appointment in the morning. Did my glucose testing. Got super nausous when the nurse took my blood, not sure why? Dropped the kids off and went to Kohl's with my mom and bro to get him school clothes. Picked up some picture frames for Gavin's pictures and a shirt for Jason which he surprisingly loved when I gave it to him. Stayed at my mom's for dinner then went home. Got pissed at Jason again, cause he was supposed to run tot he store for Milk and OJ and instead goes to Meijers to get a fan as well which took him like 2 hours. I am so fed up with him telling me one thing and doing another! What a ass.

Thursday: Well I am kind of bummed right now. Just talked with the girl I work with on the phone and found out that she will be leaving to start and new and better job. I am totally happy for her b/c I know this is what she wanted but at the same time I am going to miss her cause she was fun to talk with and she has been letting me leave early here and there. Plus I really don't want to have to deal with Steve (our main boss) who is a total ass!Totally not kool. But I also hope that they don't hire anyone to take her spot b/c I could run this place by myself till I go on maternity. Also if they think I shoudl run this place on my own, then I want a raise and a much larger commission! So we will see what the future holds LOL.

Other then that nothing new really. Cleaned the entire upstairs the other day, took me 2 hours but it looks good. Getting excited about moving next year and opeing my own day care! That will be nice. Just hope that we can sell our home in good time!

WEIRD.. Carol and I scored the EXACT same!

Not to much has gone on since the last post. Didn't go to J's parents house last weekend cause J decided to leave with out us. I know he twisted the story to his parents but o well. I am getting so tired of him pulling the same shit over and over. Got Gavin 2 new movies: Shrek 2 and Herbie fully Loaded. Also got him a toddler bed which I need Jason to assemble. Nothign really going on here at work. Got a deal yesterday so they will sign the PA next week so that will be some extra money coming to me LOL Woo HOo. Gavin has been real good at daycare which has been awesome. Tonight we are having my brothers and Tiff stay the night, and then monday night Rachel, Steve, Tiff and Q will be staying the night. Used to be easy to get these sleepovers together.. Back when no one had lives lOL.. Now it is so difficult ARGH. O well. Probably will be atleast another year before we have the next sleep over. Fun Fun. Hmm Ok I guess that is all.

Hmm, today at work has been REAL boring, of course I have nothing to do. Jackie watched Gavin this morning and my mom is taking the afternoon shift. I know they didn't put him down for nap for a hour past what he was supposed to, which kind of bothered me. Should be going out with Carol tonight, that will be nice. Haven't gotton to go out with her in awhile b/c J was working afternoon's, but now he is back on days. So this will be fun fun LOL.. Other then that I have just been gathering further information on modular homes. There is a place in Brighton that I want to check out next week. See how they are. Welp, I guess that is all.

Saturday: Went to my mom's for dinner, has lasagna, fought with J cause he didn't go. Ehh

Sunday: Went to Jason's parents for dinner. Has sloppy Joe's.

Monday: Worked and did laundry. Jack came over to watch Gavin during the day b/c our day care lady is on vacation. Gavin went pee pee on the potty for the first time.. Woo Hoo

Tuesday: Listed a new home. It is J's friends house, so that was kool. Went to Target with Gavin and got a new vacuum that will clean the tile floors, over the toilet shelve, rubbermaid storage bins, and Gavin picked out a rubber duckie shower curtain. Just needed to get out of the house.

Wednesday: Had a appointment to meet with these guys from REO about assisting them in doing BPO's. As of now they think I will start out doing 8 hours of work for them a week at $8 a hour. Do I really want this? I am not sure. Cause it seems like it might be a lot of work, and they seemed kind of shady about it, saying stuff like "don't let anyone else know that we are doing this as a group" "and we'll have to show you how we word things on the report". I don't know. I am supposed to call this one guy and meet with him again on Tuesday, but I just don't even know if this is even worth my time and energy. Cause originally when I had wanted to do this it was because eventually it would turn into a full time position, but now that I am planning on running my own in home day care, it just doesn't seem worth it. Advice??

Thursday: Jackie came over again to watch Gavin. Got Gavin's pictures yesterday and cut them up today. Now I have them seperated. Thought I had more then what I ended up with. Hmm. Tonight I have to do Laundry and cleaning, fun fun fun.

Tomorrow: Jack is watching Gavin in the morning, then mom is coming out in the afternoon to watch him. Should be interesting. We will see.

Very tired. Guess I haven't been sleeping well, or something. I don't know. Hmm.

UGH.. Work has been incredibly boring today. There hasn't been a single thing to do!!! I can't stand it. So I have just been surfing the net looking up modular home ideas and facts and looking up information on in home day cares. That is the route we are going to go. Next spring, were moving, and I am going to start a in home day care. That is the plan LOL. I just really hope that the market gets a lot better!

Saturday: Got up at the crack of dawn to go do the Child Safety Walk at the Detroit Zoo. It was nice, only thing that sucked was it was like 90 some odd degrees out there so we didn't stay to long to to look at the animals. Afterwards Gav and I just chilled at my mom's, we went swimming, and I ran to Target (I let Q drive.. scary lol) and got Gavin some things for potty training.

Sunday: Started potty training with Gavin. No luck yet. Ate dinner at J's parents.

Monday: Didn't do to much, just some laundry. Gavin was real bad at daycare. Bit the little girl on the hand and threw a toy of some sort at the other boy and left a nasty bruise on his face!! I don't know what to do with him. He is fine at home. I am wondering tho why, only the daycare lady's children seem to be the only ones that Gavin attacks? Seems a bit odd? IDK.

Tuesday: Went and got my hair done with Rachel. Not to sure if I like it or not, I got blonde and red highlights and cut it to just below my chin. Not to sure yet.. Afterwards we went to eat with Jim and Hollie, which was super nice. After that We had softball. I was coaching since my dad was up north. Luckily everyone showed up and was on time. This was our last game. We won tho. 13-9. Woo Hoo lol

Wednesday: Defintly a chill day. I totally needed it. Haven't been able to really relax these past few weeks b/c I always have something going on.

Thursday/Today: Just foound out my deal on my listing isn't going to close b/c the house only appraised for $80,000 and the guy was buying it for $110,000. And He wanted equity in the house and there is none. So I am bumming with that. But my contract is up with my seller in Septemeber, and I think that instead of renewing his contract with me I am going to refer him to another agent closer to him. That way I feel he will get the attention his homes need and be able to sell them hopefully sooner, and I would still get a referal fee. Just at the moment I haven't the time to drive to Inkster and really work with these homes, not to mention I don't feel safe there either.

Mental Thought: J and I am planning on moving in the spring. We are planning on doing a 4 bed 2,000+ sq ft modular home on atleast a acre of land. Once we do this I am thinking that I will start my own in home day care.This way I can be home with my kids, and still earn a heck of a lot of money, and have the weekends off. I could potentially earn $1,050 a week (that is gross earnings). That would be watching 6 kids 5 days a week. That would be awesome. So then next spring I am going to get liscensed by the state and take the CPR and First Aide class that you need to take. I am just excited to be moving and geting our dream house. We want to stay in Brighton, Genoa, or Green Oak. SO now I think the hard part will be finding the land. But we have time. Plus now that we have a time line here, then we can start working on the things that need to be done around the house before we can sell it. Sounds spectacular in theory. I just hope that market is better next year!! I really hope that it is!! Only a few more months till I get my new mini-van LOL. Either the Toyota Sienna or Nissan Quest. Both are nice. We'll see which is cheaper for a lease. Hmm, think that is all LOL.. O and J has been back to work, He will be going out to MGM soon, he said that it should be like a 7/10 job, in which case that would be phenomenal! I hope he was right. O and I think it is official, are little girl's name will be Makayla Nancy Howell. O, and I finished the Davinci Code. It was ok. I guess I will have to see the movie and compare them.

Saturday: Had dinner at my mom's. Hung out there for a little bit.

Sunday: Had dinner at Jason's parents. Hung out there for a little bit.

Monday: Worked and did laundry. Carol came over and brought pizza. In honor of my b-day lol. Don't think that I will be able to hang out with her as often as I was until Jason's hours change.

Tuesday: Has 2 doctors appointments in the morning, then went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean. It was good I liked it. Didn't think it was as big of a cliffhanger for a ending as everyone was saying. LOL. Ate dinner at mom's

Wednesday: Took mom to look at modular homes. I think this is the best route for the both of us. Atleast then I can get the home I want with the land I want. Still looking into it. I figure tho, if we do decide to move, we will do it next spring.

Thursday: Cleaned house, did laundry and took care of the Gavster. Fun stuff. LOL

Friday: Just workign, nothing new.

Tomorrow: Gav, Mom, Jackie and I are doing a safety walk at the Detroit Zoo. Which would normally be awesome except there saying it is going to be like 92 degrees out.. Holy crap, but atleast I got the day off LOL

Well it's been awhile since I last posted. Not much going on. Got Gavin's pictures taken at Walmart and have to say they did a excellent job and were wonderfully priced. I get to pick those up on July 26th, I can't wait.

My deal is finally pending on Annapoilis. That has been a treat. Yikes. Just contacting everyone has been a nightmare cause no one returns phone calls. But all the papers are signed, and the appraisel was ordered today. So hopefully we can close in 2 weeks if all goes well.

Tuesday (the 4th) I went to Birch Run and Frankenmuth with my mom and aunt. It was great. Very relaxing. And they finally brought back my favorite store.. Calvin Klien! I friggin love that store. I also got 2 pair of Tommy shoes for $30! Woo hoo. We went to my mom's for a little and Jason's parents for fireworks. Next year when we have more money, we will have to have everyone over to our house for fireworks, that will be nice.

My Birthday was Wednesday. I only got something from my mom and aunt. Not that I am greedy, but it didn't even feel like my birthday cause no one really awknowledged it, but I realize that happens when you get older. No more parties. All I got from J was a card at 10:30 at night. Which he ran up to CVS to get once he got home. It was kind of depressing. O well.

Still thinking of moving. Now we are leaning into looking at Modular homes (there the same as stick built, just done in a factory) and buying property. This way we can get what we want for cheaper.


I guess that is all for now, I will try and post again next week.

Friday: Gavin turned friggin 2! Holy crap! After I got off work we met my dad, Ann, Grandma, and Catie up at Applebees. It was a lot of fun. Especially when they sang Happy Birthday to Gavin (the staff). Afterwards we went to Walmart to grab Gavin a few things. It was nice.

Saturday: Went to Chuck E Cheeses for Gavin's kid party. That went very well! The kids all had a great time. We didn't even have time to open gifts. I think that kids all sat long enough to eat and that was about it. Off they were. Afterwards we went home and had out family/friends party. That went well too. I was mad tho cause of course J did very little to help me get the house ready for company! No surprise there. Gavin made out like a bandit in gifts. I have no idea what I am going to do with all his toys. Like Holy Crap! But we all had a great time, and the food was awesome.

Sunday: Worked and went to Jason's parents afterwards. My usual for a Sunday.

Monday: Got a offer for my Annapolis listing so I had the buyer sign the papers. That was a treat. This guy is just plain ignorant! Went and hung out with Carol! She took me baby shopping and spoiled this baby already! lol.. She;s the best!

Tuesday: Had our softball game. We won! 17-2! Met my seller at the game to have him sign the papers.

Wednesday: We had lots of storms which was awesome. I had been waiting to here from my buyer all day (I called 2) never heard from him. Needed to get those papers finalized! Ass.

Thursday: Worked. Still am waiting to get a hold of my buyer. Left yet another message with him. For someone who wants to close ASAP you would think that they would return important calls to get this shit squared away! Idiots! So he better Fíng call me today, or her might end up not getting the house! ARGH. The day care lady bought 2 outfits for the baby which was nice!

We are thinking of moving. Our house is just getting to small for us now. Found one in Brighton that sounded great, but there was no pic for it online, so I am waiting for that. We will see. It will be stressful to move, but nice to get a larger house.

Saturday: I did the race for a cure walk. It was great. Then I had to work. More fun.

Sunday: Left work early to go to my aunt's boyfriends daughters greaduation. THen to Jason's parents.

Monday: Just worked, nothing else. Gavin's b-day present came in, and J put it together for him.

Tuesday: I got my ultrasound in the morning. Hil, Jason, and Gavin came. IT"S A GIRL.. Woo Hoo. I am so geeked. The rest of the day I spent cleaning and organizing the house for Gavin's b-day party. Later we had our softball game wich we lost horribly.

Wednesday: Had a doctors appointment. Went mini-van shopping with my dad. Found that I liked the Toyota Sienna the best out of them all. Then went to IKEA with my mom and aunt. That store is pretty neat. Needless to say I was exhausted when I got home.

Thursday/Today: Worked. Going to go and see the house we are interested in tonight. I hope all works out. I need to give my uncle Timmy a call about mortgages. Might have a offer on my listing on Annapolis which would be awesome. Want to pick Gavin up some clothes for his b-day.

Frida": It will be Gavin's 2 year birthday.. How crazy!

Saturday: Gavins'birthday parties. One at Chuck E Cheese's and the other at our house! Wow.!

Neeedless to say I have had a very busy week, and more to come. SO tired. Just want to go to bed.

Yesterday I worked as usual. Took Gavin for a walk when I got home, and he was a nightmare. Argh. Other then that just preparing for his party, running last minute things thru my head.

Today: I walked in the Race For A Cure cancer walk in Detroit. It was nice. There was like 25,000 people there. It was neat to be a part of. Definitly felt good afterwards. Afterwards we stopped at McDonalds where I picked Gavin up a "Herbie" car (the little red car from the movie Cars.. We call it Herbie). He is so attached to those cars. He has 2 small ones at home that he take with him everywhere. It is so friggin cute! Now I am at work as usual. Tomorrow I am leaving early to attend my aunt's boyfriends daughters graduation party. (that was a mouth full) lol. So that should be nice. Still waiting on Gavin's Playground to come in. It should be in on Monday, cross fingers! lol

Saturday: Didn't do anything except work, fun stuff there.

Sunday: Just worked and went to J's parents for dinner.

Monday: Went to Carol's new house, it was nice. We went to dinner at Denny's, our usual. Drez came over and we played Rummy. I almost won lol

Tuesday (6-6-06) We went to Hell, MI. It was alright, overly packed with people. Got some cute pics of Gavin, and will be ordering some t-shirts, they ran out when we were there. Had softball. We lost miserably. But I think the team that we played agains shouldn't even be in our division. We played them last season and they creamed us as well.

Wednesday: Ran some errands, went to babie's r us and farmer jacks. Kind of just tried to relax cause my back was hurting from all the walking the day before.

Thursday: Not much today. just working. Boring! Looking forward to getting to see if I am having a boy or girl next Tuesday. We should get Gavin's playground in tomorrow. That cost me a arm and leg. Ouch. Can't believe he will be 2. getting stressed about his party as well. Err.

Last night I went to my cousin's graduation. It was diffrent. They had it at the Detroit Outreach Center, and IDK it was just weird being there and not at THS. Afterwards we went to Chuck E Cheese's and I decided that is where we will have Gavin's birthday party. So today I reserved the day and time and placed a deposit. Now I just have to get all the invites out. Tonight we are going to Toys R Us to get Gavin his swing set for his birthday. This should be interesting. Work has been frustrating me b/c of the computer here. I seriously think that there is some sort of virus on it. (there is no virus protection on it cause there to lazy to renew the subscription). It has been acting all funky, like not sending any e-mails, and disconnecting our internet service. So I don't know what is wrong. I have been calling all the tech guys today to have em figure it out and half of them didn't return the calls and the other half were clueless. So what ev. Ok, I think that is all.

Friday: Went to Carol's house for her 24th birthday party. It was fun. Ate lots of pizza which is always a plus LOL.

Saturday: Didn't do much but work, and go home and relax.

Sunday: Went to J's parents house for dinner

Monday: Went to my Aunt's for a Memorial Day bar b q, and then we had a water balloon fight. Gav was so friggin cute out there. After wards we went to Jason's parents and let Gav swim buck necked in the kiddie pool, it was a riot watching him.

Tuesday: Ran so errands, went to Jungle Java to book Gavin's b-day party only to find out that they are booked on that day. SO now what am I going to do?

Wednesday: Spent the day cleanig as usual. Surprise Surprise

Thursday: Going to go to my cousins graduation tonight. fun stuff.

I guess for Gavin's B-day party I will have it at the park. That is all that I can think of now. I guess it will be alright. Sigh. O well
