Getting Stuck

As I was leaving my house yesterday to go to work, my little piece of shit car got stuck in my driveway, yes, my driveway! I was suppose to be at work in 15 minutes and my car would not move. I called work and one of the girls that I work with had her husband come to my house to see if he could help me. Well, no such luck. We dug my car out for an hour and it still wouldn't move! I called the boyfrend and he called a guy that he works with to see if he could help, well, he brought a tow rope, but we didn't have a truck! Finally, my neighbor came home and she ended up pulling me out with her little Toyota Tacoma! An hour and a half later, I finally signed in at work! I need a new car fast! It was horrible! So now my car is parked in the road and I have to hike up my horrible driveway with the girls everyday! Sucky!

I feel like shit and I have to go to work, it's the end of the month and we have so much stupid shit to do! Hopefully my mood gets better at some point today.

Car Shopping

Who would've thought that car shopping would be such a freaking headache?!?! We keep finding things we like with a decent price, we get approved, but our payments are too much! I've found a Jeep Grand Cherokee that I absolutely loved and I then we found a Chevy Tahoe, that was beautiful, but I'm not paying $500.00 a month for a $13,000 vehicle. The boyfriends truck is a $22,000 vehicle and our payments are only $410.00 a month. Our problem is that I have ZERO credit...that's screwing us with an interest rate, even though his credit score is 720 (which is great for a 23 year old man!) Oh well, I'm going to go talk to my bank today and see what they can do. Hopefully they can give me a good deal! At least they know they'll get paid! My little 1999 Mercury Tracer just isn't working. We had an actually blizzard the other night, schools were closed, businesses were closed, the roads were closed, etc... and my car got stuck in my culdasac and I had to carry my girls up my road and up my driveway in the freezing cold snow! It was miserable! I don't want to go through that again! I guess just wish me luck!

Swimming

Yesterday was a really fun day! We went swimming in Meeker at the Parks and Recreation center. They have an indoor whirlpool, kids area, slide, diving board and hot tub. We took the girls and we went with some friends of ours and their little boy. Katee was scared of the water at first but then she got used to it. When she was in the other areas of the pool besides the kiddie area she was attached at mine or her daddies neck for dear life! She had a good time though. She cried when it was time to leave! Kaci did good to, she was in the water for about an hour and she seemed to like it! It's just weird because I don't really like to swim, but I had a really good time. We'll definitely go again.

The boyfriends at his yearly training classes today in Meeker, and then he's going coyote and bobcat hunting afterwards, and I have to go back to work! It'll be nice though, because on Friday I was over on my drawer by $100.00 but on Saturday the guy I shorted came in and now I'm balanced again! I reccommend everyone recounting their cash after they go to the bank. You'd be suprised how much we actually mess up! Shhh, you didn't hear that from me! :) Oh, I watched "The Game Plan" this weekend while I was alone, and it's a really cute kid movie, watch it!

Have a good day everyone!

My Only Day Off

So since my family was off having fun in Junction without me, I decided to go to work yesterday. It was only from 9-12 and it was drive thru only, so it wasn't bad at all. The boyfriend and the girls got home last night at about 6:30 and the boyfriend had to leave at 7:00 for a poker party with some guys from work. It's 8:22 am and he's still not home! He stayed over there because he drank a few too many beers! I think I'm going to make him take me to lunch or dinner tonight. I feel like I haven't seen him for days!

I'm in the process of looking for a new car. My little 1999 Mercury Tracer just isn't big enough for the four of us and it doesn't have enough muscle for all the snow, cold and ice. I found a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee in Junction but like a typical sales person he tried to screw us. I refuse to pay 18% interest when we are capable of being financed for 8%. My boyfriends mother works at a mortgage office and she could give us another house loan for 8%, so why can't we finance 16,000 dollars but we could finance 150,000? That makes absolutely no since to me! Oh, well I'm going to keep looking!

All Alone...

Wow! The boyfriend and both of my girls just left to go to Grand Junction. They will be staying all night and coming home tomorrow. I had to stay behind because I have to work today and tomorrow. The reason they are going is because our truck is having issues and nobody can fix it here for another 2 weeks, they can get him in today in Junction. What am I going to do tonight? Maybe sleep ALL NIGHT LONG for the first time in almost 6 months!?!?!

I thought it was funny when the boyfriend called the automotive shop today in Junction. The mechanic told him he had people canceling because there was a whole 1 inch of snow and nobody wanted to leave their houses! Well we have 3 FEET and it's snowing again this morning! I wish WE only had 1 inch! I'm sick of winter, the cold, and the miserable snow, and it's only January! I can't wait for the 90 degree weather, the lake, the pool, baseball season (so I can watch my beloved Derek Jeter!) etc... I want to plant flowers, mow my yard, watch it rain, I just want winter to be over. I'm sick of the -20 degree nights and the 9 degree days!

Tonight will be interesting, but I guarantee I'll be awake at 12, 3, and 6, like I normally am with the baby! I think I'll take a long hot bath, read my book and eat Taco Bell!

Today is the boyfriends birthday! He is 23 years old. It amazes me to think that the first birthday I spent with him, he was turning 18 years old. When we first started dating nobody approved and nobody thought it would last. My mother was even weary of us dating, she knew him for about two years before we dated and she knew how he used to be (a player). I admit, I was scared at first to, but I had hope. I saw a completely different side of him the night we started dating. We were all at a friends house hanging out and he was talking to my "best friend" at the time. He told her, "I have never felt like this before about a girl, especially a girl I haven't even kissed before. She's my best friend and I think I'm in love her." That was October 11 2002. Too bad we both have to work today, but hey, that's life. I'll come home and make him his favorite food, steak and potatoes!

Back to Work and Social Services...

Yesterday the bank was closed due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I had to take Thursday and Friday off because the girls were both really sick, and today I have to go back. I'm already in the worst mood because at 9:00 this morning I get a knock on my front door. It's Social Services. I was informed on Friday that they were calling my babysitter asking about my kids, and now they are on my door-step. "Someone" called them and said that the boyfriend and I were involved in drugs and that he beat me in front of my children. The only person I can think of that would do this to us would be the crazy bitch. She has been threatening me for months saying she would do anything she could to take me away from the boyfriend and my kiddos. The lady looked me and my girls over for bruises and made me take an at home drug test. I was more than happy to take the drug test considering I've never even smoked pot in my life, of course I was clean. The boyfriend just had a random one two days ago at work, and yes, he was clean also. There were no bruises, scratches, nothing. The lady said goodbye and said there wouldn't be any need to further investigate. I can't believe that she has gone to this level to try to be with the boyfriend, does she honestly think he'd want to be with her after everything she has done? Yes, she does. I'm not saying this because I don't like her but, something is HONESTLY wrong with her head. She thinks she's right about everything and everybody and swares she'll be with the boyfriend and become my girls step-mother. Fat chance. The good thing is it's Monday and the banks usually busy, so It'll take my mind off of things for a few hours. I think I need to go have a drink tonight!

All About Me...

I'm a 22 year old mother of two. I am "common-law" married to my high school sweetheart. We've been together for 6 years now and have lived together for 5. My children consist of two little girls, Katee, who is three, and very hard headed; and Kaci, who is 5 months old and extremely spoiled!

The boyfriend and I have had some really rough times in the past and as a result of those hard times we are closer and happier than ever, and we have also gained a "crazy bitch" who is trying to do everything in her power to break us up and take my children. This is a girl who has had everything given to her her entire life and has always gotten what she wanted. She still thinks she can live this way. I'm telling you about her because she's all the excitement that really goes on in this podunk town, so you'll probably be hearing about her quite often. I've had to call the police department on her three times now for stalking and still nothing has happened to her. Oh well, it'll happen one day.

So you can get an idea on how boring and small this town is, 90% of the residents drive the extra 20 miles to Baggs, Wyoming (Probably not even on a map) on Sundays so they can go to the bar and buy beer! We have a family of four deer who live in my front yard and eat my pine tree and will even eat out of the palm of your hand. This town has a population of 1500 deer that live IN the city limits, and we also have a large population of bobcats, mountain lions and coyotes. Its not everyday you open your backdoor and find an adult male coyote terrorizing your dogs! I think the deer population is larger than our resident population. We have a McDonalds, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and a Village Inn, if you want something more you have to drive 45 minutes to Steamboat (where everything's too expensive) or drive the 3 hours to Grand Junction. Oh, but we do have 5 Liquor Stores...priorities!
