Happily Ever After...

Well just our luck, just when Chris was about to knock on the recruiter's door, the job that we've been waiting months to call us did just that. The guy is offering Chris the job (at his asking salary) and begged him not to go to the air force. Chris told him that he's been waiting on him and if he doesn't hear from him about his second interview in two weeks, he's going back to the military.

Also... I got a promotion, sort of. It's not set in stone yet but I fell it's going to happen. I've been basically doing the job for the past month anyway. It comes with a $2 raise so looks like we're on the track to our "Happily Ever After". Wish us luck!

Military....

Christopher is thinking about joining the air force.... I should say hell bent on joining. He's already called a recruiter and started getting all his paperwork together. I say it's about time, he's been talking about going back since he got out of the army 2 years ago. He has always felt that he didn't do all he wanted to do in the military and lost his chance because of the joint custody with the kids. I am very pro-military and will be very proud if he goes through with it.
He has to get a physical and a letter from a doctor releasing him because he has asthma but that should not be a problem if he quits smoking.
Connor and Alana will have to live with their mom for a little while but we will get them as much as possible. Jade's going to be pissed off because she's so happy here and has lots of good friends. I don't think Amber will think much of it.
A lot of thinking and planning has to happen before he makes it official but I'm 98 percent sure it is going to happen. I think it will be a great life change for us.

ramblings of a crazy person.....

It's been over a month since I wrote on this blog. A lot has happened in these few short weeks. I made it where Connor and Alana could only come over if Chris was off of work because my craziness was getting out of control and I didn't feel it was in their best interest to get the worse of it. Jade and Amber know I'm crazy and don't take it to heart when I'm on a rampage but Connor and Alana have their father's emotions and get really hurt. I figure if Chris is home while I have them then he can tell me when I'm stepping over the boundary.
We got a new van!!! I love it. It's a tan color 2008 Kia Sedona. I bought it during one of my spur of the moment crazy fits because I was tired of not being able to bring the kids anywhere or being able to go out as a family because I had a small car that didn't fit everyone and the other van doesn't have an air conditioner. Chris set me off because he took my car to workwithout telling me and left the van here for me to drive to work. I was being over emotional about it due to the high stress in my life and him being so inconsiderate. =P So I called into work because I couldn't stop crying long enough to function and called my brother-in-law to buy a van.
The van that I originally said ok to was powder blue(wasn't too happy about that) and was a lower end model but when they went to put it on the truck to bring it to the dealership, they backed it into a pole. They didn't have another base model so they had to up-grade me to the 4 door LX for the same price! HOOWOO!!!!
So... I'm back on anxiety/depression medicine and everyone knows how much I hate being dependent on medication. It's been 4 days and it's finally kicking in so I feel great. Lets just hope I can stay on it this time so my kids can quit being scared of me. Maybe now I can functin as a human being, be a better mom and an even better wife.
