November 24, 2009

This is currently the most important date in my life. It's more important than the day we have to pack our house, more than the day we drive to Kansas.

November 24, 2009 is 90 days after Thomass was served divorce papers. I am truely hoping Karma finally lets me cash in on my points and Thomass doesn't fight anything.

The bad things thunder does

We had a great thunder storm last after 11. Tons of really close lightening and that made REALLY loud thunder. It also caused a HUGE mess in my livingroom and I wish I could say water was the mess. but it wasnt.

Yoshi woke up at his normal time about 1230 to go potty. I got up this time to do the duty. I opened the bedroom door and took one step out before a horrible wall of stink hit me in the face. It was dark, but I already knew what awaited me once I got the lights on. He's usually pretty good in the kennel, but he's gotten into something over the past week and he goes backand forth between normal poop and totally icky poop. Last nite was a totally icky poop situation. It was all over him, the kennel, the carpet under the kennel(no not the house carpet, we got a huge area rug just for instances like this) and even some on the wall.

I had to carry him out so we wouldnt have poop paws thru the house. I went back and got Skip up because this was a two man job. We had to take the WHOLE kennel outside to be cleaned. It was raining and kinda chilly. Our back light has no bulbs because we cant find the ones that fit and I had to clean by the kitchen light coming thru the windows. It was most retarded. We had to also take the carpet outside to clean as well. Thank goodness we have a spare in the garage to use for now.

And then when I got home from work I had to clean the dog. I hate dog poop. I mean I REALLY hate the stuff, but what is a dog owner to do. I should have taken a pic for you all to see, but decided that might be gross

Yea, his other ear stands up.....sometimes


I really dont know how much longer he is going to fit under there

Aiden...totally passed out

Dog loves watermellon..Aiden shares

I just like to see the bench get smaller every week

I dont know what we were doing here

Wells Fargo is a Bullshit banking intsitution

I just want to say this banjing institution makes me feel like I am scum. I would never recommend them to any friends or family. I hate that I have to deal with them on a monthy basis.


This month they changed their online payment services and I havent been able to make my payment online for some reason. So today I called because I had some spare time to ask. They are always rude and dont care about what your issue is for one. I was told today that because my account was part of a banruptcy and had been re-affirmed that I did not qualify for online payment. WTF!!! I have been making my payments online for the past year and thats how long its been since it all got dicharged.

So then they connect me to the finance people to make a payment. Here I am told I have to pay an additional 12 dollars to have an agent set up the payment!!! WTF!!! Im trying to pay my shit since you people are calling every day cause my online shit dont work and you are going to charge me 12 freaking dollars! sheesh.

SO now when ever I want to make a payment I have to call and pay 12 bucks OR be inconvienced by going to a branch to make it. If anything didnt make me want to make a damn car payment its that. I prefer to sit here early on Sunday mornings BEFORE I have to get dressed and just press the mouse a couple times and Im done. Bastards

Somedays I just don't know

So the past 2 weekends we have had the people from Skip's shop over for a BBQ, beer and a general good time. It's been pretty awesome. We had everyone over last nite and the evening ended like total shit.

It was me, Skip, Snider, Grey and McCormick all sitting outside on the picnic table drinking beer, laughing and listening to McCormick be the DJ of the ipod. This had been going on since about 2 and at this point it was 1030. Grey is the DD because he is 19 and not quite legal to drink, altho he still has a really good time even without the beer. Well at some point a bottle got knocked over and saved but it of coarse started foaming and someone make the comment to Grey to get the foam. SOOOOOOOOOO he sucked the foam off the top of the beer and shit went downhill. Skip kicked into NCO mode and kicked everybody out of the house. But that's not before Snider almost came across the table at him. He actually got up and left, I didn't know until today that he had actually started walking back to the barracks.

Well Skip in my eyes pretty much took the liberty to treat me like one of his damn soldiers last nite. Totally pissed me off. I'm still pretty shitty about it today. He went to sleep on the futon and didn't bother to come to bed with me until a few hours later and has been an over all ass for the most of the day. At least that's the way I see it. I could be wrong.

So I feel anti-social and pissed off. He's been stomping around with some pussy ass look on his face and it's all I can do to not wanna tell him to wipe the look off his face. He's making me fell like crap. He's been pretty much hiding in the stupid computer room on YouTube all day. I would like to kick him off the wireless network just to irritate him more. I'm sure there is plenty I could do to TRY and make things better, but as far as I am concerned I woke up prepared to leave it last nite, but he didn't. I don't feel so obligated to do the right thing right now.

When it's priceless

I spent 25 dollars on papework for divorce yesterday
I spent 28 dollars making copies and getting notery seals today
I spent 280 dollars filing the divorce papers
And then I spent another 54.80 at the sheriff's office to have the papers deliverd by an El Paso County Sheriff.



In the end.....I feel great. It's on now buddy.

Kansas and drunk soldiers

Well as many know now we have orders to be in Kansas October 10th. I say "we" and not Skip cause it's the both us going and me staying behind just isnt an option. I cried for 3 days. I am still an the verge evrytime I have to think about leaving my house that I am completly in love with. It's the most perfrect place I have ever lived and I don't get to stay. The only thing I have been able to think about is how are we going to find a place to live and where the hell am I going to work. There is no call center for me to transfer to and only 1 retail store in the whole area. I will have to start paying for daycare and I will no longer have any help from family. I will truly be on my own for the first time in 25 years. I'm scarred shitless.

I did get lucky enough to get some help putting things in prespective last nite. We had the guys Skip works with over for a BBQ that didn't end until after 1 am!! With the exception of the DD we were all pretty hammered. After being asked by every guy there if I am going and being told how good a women I am to stick with Skip thru this I started feeling a bit like a hero. It was almost like they half expected me to say no. I didn't really know what to say or how to feel at the time, but they really gave me a ton of respect for it, especially after I told them I have been here for almost 14 years and I have no idea what the hell I am doing. We arent going totally alone, Skip's soldier, Snider, also got put in assignement there and he's from the area. So he's been helpful to talk to. Even drunk he can coe up with the right things to say. Over all we had a blast. I have a whole new respect for those guys and what they do. I heard stories last nite that made me want to cry. The American Soldier is really a creature to respect.

Puppy Joys

Ah yes the joys of puppies are endless and sometimes just gross. Like today I came home and my poor baby couldnt hold it. So he was covered in urin. MMmmm.... had to clean him. Then I had to clean the poop in the yard. Its been hard to clean because of all the rain. Just doesnt get dry enough to scoop. And we have weeds, not grass to scoop from. Really not an easy task. Ugh. Diapers are easier.

And so it continues

Anyone who has ever owned a dog long enough to see it pass knows how hard and how rewarding a dog can be. We all know the work and frustration we have to put into it. Dogs simply cannot train them selves, but neither can our children.

I've done my best for 2 weeks to avoid any direct contact or conversation when it comes to Christa's dog. I simply cannot deal with it. Training Yoshi and my 2 year old is more than enough for me!! Today they all happened to be downstairs instead of out front when I picked Aiden up and I got to see her dog going bonkers like any other untrained large breed dog(especially working breeds). She was yelling at her when I walking down the stairs and Aiden was scratched in the arm pretty good because they tell her "OFF". He has at least learned Yoshi plays nice and wont jump. Children shouldn't be afraid of dogs.


ANYWAYS, Christa is mad because the dog is peeing on her carpet. The last 2-3 dogs have all peed on the carpet as well so this dog doesn't see a difference between it and the grass. So she calls the dog a " Stupid Bitch"(by the way now I know where Aiden gets it from) and puts her outside to "train herself" I of coarse have Yoshi with me, he is sitting at the end of his leash doing the best a puppy can do to contain himself. Christa makes mention on "how good my dog is".

I then have to explain to her how much work we put into Yoshi on a daily basis. Not even daily, but hourly. I had to explain he has accidents and that we MUST STOP what we are doing that very exact moment and go out with him so he can understand where he is supposed to pee. She seemed shocked by this amazing revelation.


In any case its totally obnoxious and I am wiling to bet in 2 weeks the dog goes up for a yard sale. Shes not going to get any better.

35mm

Well I got the ol' film camra out, I've been dying to get back to the real stuff enjoy!!

I think he does this best.



He's going to be confused when he can't fit under there anymore!!!




She thinks she is a dog.




Water bottle is his favorite toy.

He's got a good shot with that thing!!

Joe Dirt's Family

By now I am sure most if not all of us have seen the movie Joe Dirt with David Spade. He has a ridiculous mullet during the whole movie. You never really think you are going to see something like that in real life that's not from a early 90's country music video.

Well come to Fountain. Most of this place is made of military, but those who aren't military are hicks or white trash. I mean that in a kind way too. They are very nice people and it's a nice change from having to shop with Mexicans and thugs or the rich folk from Briargate.

We went on an adventure last nite to get a few things when I truly got a shock. We were by the milk when I happened to look over and see 10ish year old boy with a FULL mullet!!! I'm talking Billy Ray Cirus mullet here. The long stuff was half way down his back. It gets worse. He is standing there with his brother is probably about 8. Same mullet! It doesn't stop there, they are standing with there dad who also has the same damn mullet!!!!! I thought I would never see such a thing, but then I see the worst of it all..............their mother also had a mullet. This is no joke, I almost choked on my spit. I looked at Skip and was like. "WHO THE HELL DOES THAT!"

I have seen some crazy things, but that totally tops it. Totally. Maybe next time I will snap a photo just to show you!

And you thought your job sucked

Today had an awesome start for Skip. He was promoted to Staff Sgt. YAY!!! He's been working for months to get it. It was well deserved.


By this afternoon he was demoted. Oh yes, demoted. Not for any kind of doing of his own. The retard that was supposed to verify all his points missed a page that wasn't signed by the right person. So instead of seeing it over a week ago, they let him go thru the whole ceremony today. Instead of letting it be and getting the right signature on it they tell him he will have to wait until next month now.


So next month Skip will be promoted, again. Yea hows that for shitty HR.
