Aside

No bail out for me

I am so upset about my freaking water pipes. They have been frozen since Friday the 8th. It makes me so mad because all Raymond had to do is leave the water dripping. Like that is so freaking hard. Now it has warmed up enough to turn the water back on at the meter to see if it has unfroze. Well, it had. Bad news, it was the main pipe going from the water meter to the house. So, it is broken now.

I have to work tomorrow but dad said he would come over and help try to fix it. The deal is that Raymond has to be there and well, he fails. He left today and still hasn’t come back home. He just text and stated that he would be here in the morning. If he isn’t, I have news for him. If he bails on me and doesn’t come home to help me fix this. I am kicking him out. It was his fault for turning the water off. I just don’t know what I am going to do besides try to get under the house and fix it. The joys of being a home owner. I am glad in most cases because it is paid for and I don’t worry for rent but then this happens and I can’t just call some one and be like, “hey. Come fix this.” Like when I was renting.

4 minutes

Tomorrow Cody will be gone to basic training for a week. I am still waiting on my first letter. Weather has been terrible so I haven’t really been able to get the post office. Which is sad. But I did get to have two phone calls this week. Each totaling in 2 minutes each. I loved hearing his voice. This week has went by slowing. I am hoping it picks up. I want to hold my baby.

Besides that, work has been going great. I like the people I work with. I enjoy my job. I get to sit in a room scanning the old deed, marriage and mortgage listening to my MP3 player. It is a pretty awesome job. My boss is awesome too. 😀

My lip is killing me. I bit it and now it has a huge sore on it. I have been trying to doctor it but it isn’t getting much better. Then my water pipes froze. Which sucks. I had great luck until I went to work and my brother turned off all the dripping water. The butt nugget.

Work: my first day

I started work today. I have been bitching this whole week before about starting and being nervous but it was amazing. I love my job. It’s super easy, I am going to be working Tue, Wed, Thur and Friday a total of 28 hours a week at $10 an hour. After tax about $240 a week. Which is amazing. I have never worked anywhere that paid weekly. I can take breaks when I want. Amazing. I love it. Simple as that. I keep saying that but I really do. The people I work with are so nice and easy to get along with.

I heard from Cody today. He got to make a 2 minute phone call. He sounded kind of sad. He said it wasn’t as bad as he thought. He loved and missed me. We made a promise to always say “Good night. Sweet dreams.” every night no matter what. I have held up to my end. I hope he is too. Because we always say it before bed. I am really glad I heard from him. I was so worried.

I am so tired from getting up so early today to be at work on time. The joys of having a day job. Which is awesome too! lol 😀 Well, I need to get to bed since I am not sure if I will work tomorrow or not. Since it is suppose to come a bad winter storm tonight and I am not driving in ice and snow.

Second day

Yesterday I drop Cody off to get on a bus to leave for basic training. OMG! I didn’t think I would miss him so much. I’m not crying every minute. I don’t think I have cried but once or twice. It was late. I was lonely. You know how it is. 🙁

I am sure as the weeks go on, it will be easier. I am just so use to him being there laying next to me. Mr. Kitty stayed in the bedroom with me last night. Made it a little easier.

I am just catching up on laundry and picking up my room a little bit today since I start work tomorrow. I haven’t worked in almost a year. I know the first couple of days are going to be hard to get use to since I am on days. Which is a plus, really. Just not use to getting up at 7am. I am sure once I do that a couple days I will feel great. Seeing day light and all. 🙂

Well, the first load of laundry is done and now I need to start the other load. Yay for house cleaning.

I have become comfortably numb

Okay. Here I am another blog. Another move. This is a new year. Here is to a great start. Hopefully. I am releasing this site today, well more like tonight. I haven’t finished moving over all the entries and comments but I do have all of Decembers of 2009. I think all the comments for that month is updated but not sure yet. Going back over that once I have finished this entry.

I have moved back over from Chyrp to WordPress. A sad day. I still love Chyrp and if I have another project that Chyrp can handle I will use it but at this time. It did have to many bugs and not enough modes to really make me stay. I couldn’t use the scripts I wanted to nor could I really edit them enough to work with out trying to have two different layouts made. Crazy. But I am happy with WordPress at the moment. Will see how long that will last.

This morning Branda and Micki came over to see Cody for a bit just to kind of say their goodbyes. 🙁 Which was good for Cody. His little brothers spent two nights with us. He has spent a lot of time with them. Tonight is Cody’s last night at the house. Tomorrow at 11am he leaves for basic and AIT. Which will be around 6 months he will be gone. I am super sad about it. Nothing I can do but wait. I love him so much. This will just make us stronger. It feels like the last month went by super fast and now the next 6 months will drag along because well, that is how it works. When you want time to hurry up, it goes even slower.

Then Wednesday I start my first day of work. I am so nervous about starting work again. I am sure I will do just fine but regardless I have to go. lol 😀 I think I will enjoy working again. Plus, it is day shift. Which will be amazing. Every job I have had in the past 5 years has been either mostly all nights or all nights.

I need to go return comments and go post comments on a few blogs. Trying to get my new URL out there. Time to go be busy. Plus, I am downloading some older movies so Cody and I can watch them and cuddle a bit before tomorrow. 🙁
