Hilarious News
So its been two weeks since I last wrote. I’m writing a day early too. I have no particular reason why I’m writing a day early, just felt like writing. So, what’s been going on with me? Not a whole lot to be honest with you.There are a few things I can write about though.
I am currently still going for unemployment. Remember I loss my job November 2011. So, I’ve been filing for unemployment since then. At first I got a letter stating that I wasn’t eligible for it because I didn’t make enough. Then I got a letter stating they’re still establishing whether or not I qualify so continue filing. It’s frustrating. 1. I almost never remember to file for unemployment on Sunday’s. 2. I’m sick of filing when I still don’t know if I”ll get it or not. What could possibly take this long to establish!? I wish I could just give up, say I’m not getting it, and be done with it. Mike won’t have that though.
In other news, I have found out from a friend that Matt’s girlfriend is pregnant. HA! I call him to question him about it. “Are the rumors true?” I said.
“Rumors? What rumors?”
“Is Kelly pregnant?”
“Who’d you hear that from?”
“A mutual friend. Is it true?”
“I hate rumors. They’re vicious. I hate rumors. I don’t know.”
“You don’t know if she’s pregnant?”
“Yea. I don’t know.”
“Oook. Whatever you say.”
“Yea. She’s 6 weeks pregnant.”
I’m like, “OH! Congratulations!”
“Is it what it is.”
“You sound thrilled.”
In the most sarcastic voice ever, “I am THRILLED! I cannot WAIT for ANOTHER baby! YAY!”
“Okay, I get the point.”
At this point I wanted to tell him to keep it in his pants then. But I kept it to myself. Wanted to keep the conversation nice, ya know? This will be his possible third child. I say possible because I’m still not convinced baby #2 was his. He never mentions him. He never sees him. Then again, he’s still a baby. When Nick was a baby, Matt wanted NOTHING to do with him. He was still baby formed. He’s no fun as a baby. Can’t dress up the baby in name brand clothing and take around showing him off. I pray this one is a girl. Matt told me when we were together, “If you have a girl. We’re through. I will walk out of the ultrasound and that will be the last time you see me.” Charming, right? So anyway, I continue the conversation and I tell him I’m pursuing him for Child Support.
He responds with, “Ya. I know. They sent me a letter telling me I owe $600 here and $1000 there. They put a lien on me too.” Sucks to be you. He then proceeds to tell me about how he now owns the bar that he worked at and that’s why I’m not getting child support because he’s not getting paychecks anymore. Long story short, he basically said he had money laying around for a rainy day and he invested it in the bar and got screwed. Not my problem… where’s my money?!
You know what sucks the most about not getting child support… when Nick is going and behaving himself and we go to the store and he asks for something and I have to tell him “No. I don’t have money.” He is old enough to understand that I get child support from Dad and Dad is currently not sending me any. He doesn’t understand that when I go to the store I’m spending Mike’s money, not my money. Therefore I can’t just go and buy him something because it’s not my money. His response is, “Well we’re at the store. You have money to go to the store, don’t you?” It sucks.
Hopefully soon I’ll be getting child support once again. I have gotten one payment since October. Which is bull shit.
In other news, Mike wants me to attempt going to Energy Assistance again. To give you a recap of what happened last time… LONG story short, I went at 5am, stood outside in the cold until 7:30am. I finally got in and THEN seen the sheet of what you need. (They don’t have it on the internet ANYWHERE about what you need when you get down there. So I had no clue what I needed.) So, I’m sitting there lying to the people like “Oh I don’t have a bank account” because I needed my bank statements for the previous three months. THEN I COMPLETELY forgot that I had worked during the previous three months. I didn’t have my pay stubs at all. It was a mess! I vowed I’d never go back down there. Well little did I know Mike would be forcing me to go again. Ugh! I don’t want to go. This time I’m going to make my Mom come with me so I have someone to talk to while we’re down there at 5am. I also have to get my bank statements printed out first. Then I think I’ll have everything. The only concern I have is that when I asked work to print out my pay stubs they gave me a compensation report instead. It still says how much my gross pay was, take home pay, and taxes taken out… I just pray that it will be enough for them. I don’t want to go down there at 5am to sit outside until 7:30am then to sit until 9-10am to be seen to have it NOT be enough. Its not easy getting assistance from the state. Whoever tells you its easy is a liar. I can’t wait until the day when I’m stable enough to work and the boys are in school and we don’t have to worry about getting assistance from the state any longer.
As you can see, and as I posted on Twitter, I have created a new theme. I call it blue brown. Original, eh? I’m not sure I like it. Its plain jane for me. It took me seriously 30 minutes to create it, code it, and have it up. Which is far too quick by my standards. I wanted something with these colors but I didn’t know what I wanted to create. I’ve done a theme with photos before.
Which turned out fabulous. So I created this one in hopes that I’d make something just as fabulous. I was mistaken. It didn’t turn out great at all. I mean, its not bad. I just feel its one of my lowest looking creations I’ve made. So for now this is my newest theme. Love it or leave it. I’d love to leave it but I can’t come up with anything else I want to create. Nothing is sparking an idea in my head. No creative juices are flowing. Which sucks! Oh well, eventually I’ll come across something phenomenal and it will spark an idea in my head for my own theme and I’ll start creating and it will be wonderful.
Final thought… I’m sweeping again. Mike’s like “You need to get on that!” because I had introduced a girl at his work to the sweeping world and she’s been winning left and right. If you don’t remember I won about 3k worth of stuff the first year. 8k worth of stuff the second year. Only 1k worth of stuff last year. I didn’t win much last year because I didn’t enter much. I fell out of the hobby and I wasn’t winning as much as I had in the previous years so I felt it was a waste of time. See the thing is, sweeping has REALLY hit off the past year so there’s SO many more people out there that are like “I can do this” and they start entering. This makes my chances of winning that much lower. So I haven’t been winning as much. Which is really discouraging. But I’m going to stick with it and push through and just enter. Hopefully I’ll win a little more this year to make a show for my efforts. Otherwise I don’t know how long I’ll stick with it this time around. Mike wants me to start winning again. He just liked all the prizes I was getting. We’ll see what happens.
I suppose its time for Mikhail’s nap. Nickolas has early dismissal today so I don’t get to lay down with Mikhail like I normally do. Boo!!! I hate early dismissal day. He gets out two hours earlier than normal every other Wednesday. Why? I haven’t the faintest idea. I think it was to cut costs or something. Either way, it sucks. Until next time folks…
