Oh Where oh Where....



do I begin?

It's been awhile since I posted. There's been a lot going on, but I just haven't had the gumption to blog about it. But since I seem to be stalled where my writing is concerned, I figured this was just as good a time as any to catch y'all up with what's going on.

We might be moving
To Phoenix Arizona. Hubby thinks it could be a new beginning for us. I think it's a 2000 mile relocation that will leave us broke. He's going to go out ahead of us and see what kind of job he can find, and if he finds a god one...and I mean a GOOD one, then Taylor and I can follow him out there. One major and I mean MAJOR sticking point is that I do NOT want to work full-time. Period. However, Lou is insisting that the only way we can have the life we want is for both of us to work full-time. The problem is that it's not the life We want, its the life HE wants, and his track record job-wise isn't all that great. It always ends up with my putting my life on the backburner and working full-time, while he complains and doesn't work...for whatever reason. It happened here, it happened when we moved to NC, it's the reason we didn't relocate to Columbus, OH permanantly (I got a job, he didn't). I'm NOT going to chance it again. So, unless he can nail down a job making enough to let us live in a decent place and pay our bills on HIS salary, I'm not going anywhere. Sounds selfish, I know, but if I wanted to work full-time and support him, I could do that here. I don't need to move 2000 miles to do it. could be a deal-breaker, and I don't just mean relocation-wise. I guess we'll see.

Speaking of Jobs...
I get reports about the new project from former co-workers, and the concensus is that I'll either love it or hate it. Wow...that's helpful. It can't be any worse than the situation I'm in on the old project. There are 20 of us left...and we are about five people short. The solution? make us work overtime and extra days.

Oh. Hell No!

I am NOT going to give up more of my time because the PTB couldn't forecast what the actual need would be. And I'm certainly not working overtime so that the people who are stealing our jobs can look better. And, call it sour grapes, but I really don't care what the company that hired us thinks of our performance. They supposedly loved us and were thrilled with our performance...didn't stop them from kicking us to the curb and sending our jobs overseas, now did it? So, as far as I am concerned, the company that hired and fired us, and the company I work for directly can BITE ME! I have no loyalty left. They stole it from me the day I found out I was losing my job.

Let's see..what else is there.." Oh, some GOOD NEWS

Taylor brought home a kick-ass report card. Her grades are awesome. She got a 4.0 for this nine-weeks and is carrying a 3.9 overall for the year. I wish I would have gotten grades as high as she does. And with seemingly little effort. I'm very proud of her.

I guess that's it for now. I'll post a bit more often from now on, I promise. I was doing so well for awhile there...gotta get back into the swing of it.

Later all!
