Here Say

One thing that I truly hate is when someone relays a message thru my children to me. My oldest was telling me somethings that her dad said a while back. She told me that she didn't tell me at the time because she knows how much I dislike stupidity. I wish she would have told me then I could have nipped all the BS. I don't say anything bad about their dads around them. I feel that they will see them for who they are before long. He suppose to be grown and all this but he doesn't discuss any problems with me. He insist on talking to my daughter about like she can really help him. Well, I guess that is the level he is on. I don't know how his wife deals with him and I actually feel sorry for her. I am going to make a phone call this weekend to let him know that if he ever needs to discuss anything with me that I am a phone call away and I don't listen to relays. It's time for him to be the man that he tells everyone he is!!!

A New Beginning

Sorry that I haven't kept current. I have moved to be closer to my new job. So far, things have been great. I like my new job and I am loving the area. It is so great to be able to land a job in my field so soon. It feels so awkward being away from familiar surroundings. Slowly, I am learning my way around but I have yet to make friends that I would want to hang out with. I am going to try and go the beach next weekend. That would be something that we all can do together.

A Little Slow

This weekend, I had my neice. I must say it will be a while before I get her again. She showed out. I came real close to taking her home early. My neice is 8 and she is on the level of a kindergartener. I blame both her mom and dad (my brother). Her mom never did make out of the 8th grade. I can't even call her a high school dropout. Her brother and mom were high school dropouts. My neice leaves in a home full of failure. The grandfather is a crackhead. There has been a time of two when the drug dealer has come to the house and held everyone hostage until he was paid. The grandfather has even sold my neice's shoes and clothes so he can get his high. We all have told my brother time and time again that he could get sole custody with no problem. When my neice started school, she was out more days than she was in. The bad thing is, she was going to school right around the corner from her house. Her mom was just too damn lazy to get her up and dressed. No one in that household is trying to encourage her to do well in school or trying to help her. She cannot count to 20, write out or recite the alphabet. My brother gets mad, but he isn't helping. If he was so concerned, he ought to spend more time with her and help. Everytime he gets her, she ends up with me.

Stealing

I don't care how old you are, stealing is just wrong. My neice came by yesterday wearing my oldest daughter's favorite shirt. She went off and told her that she didn't have anything to say to her. My neice told her that she was going to have her mom wash and she will bring it back. They are moving. Do you really think my daughter is going to see her shirt again? My daughter had been looking for that shirt a long time. She couldn't believe she was bold enough to wear it out where she would she could be seen. I talked with her mom and it didn't seem to be big deal with her. She is going to have problems with her in the long run. I found a couple of my movies down there and when I asked about that, she didn't have anything to say about that. I felt like beating her ass myself. But I am going to do one even better!!

Domestic Violence

Last night, one of my neices came begging their uncle to come to the house. Her mom and boyfriend were fighting. Apparently, the oldest child got thrown by the boyfriend and she hit the wall. What I am not understanding, is why they keep playing this game? The police were called out. This is the third time the cops have been here for this mess, since I have been living here. My sister in law and her brother are not on speaking terms, but she insist on calling when the boyfriend is beating her tail. I told her after the first incident that she need to put the kids and herself first. I washed my hands of it when she let him come back the first time. He isn't working and isn't trying to find a job. When he has money, he spends all of it on weed. They both claim to be pot heads. I have told her time and time again that she doesn't have her priorities straight. She dropped her 3 kids off around 11:30 last night to take out a warrant. Deep down, I know she wasn't going to take out a warrant on him. She was just wanting to go out and couldn't be truthful about it. She came back around 3a. I tried to keep my cool, but I had to let her know how I felt. I will give this mess a week and he will be back. This is a viscious cycle that she insists on encouraging. I am not having any part of this drama.

Aggravation

Are you easily aggravated? I can be. Once I am irritated, my day is pretty much ruined. I think I am the easiest person to get along with. I am kind to everybody until I see my kindness being abused. I am not fond of the summer. The kids are out of school and all the neighborhood kids think they can flock to my house. Well, I have a problem with that. My house is not a daycare. I don't want anybody knocking at my door or ringing my phone before 12 noon. I buy stuff for my children so they won't be bored. Things don't come cheap and I don't want any and everybody running in and out of my house.

Missing Movies

I take pride in my DVD library. I have all of my movies listed in a database and in alphabetical order on the shelves. I can do a quick sweep over the shelves and tell if there are any movies missing. This morning, I noticed there were a few gaps and I checked. There are 4 movies missing, Cabin Fever, Honey, The Rundown and The Haunted Mansion. I am livid!! I can't say who has them because I am not really home during the day. I have to put in a different system. I am not going to replace the missing movies. I will know my movies when I see them. Every movie that I buy, I put a unique mark on it. I hate to get ugly, but I will. I am the type person that is very friendly and will do all that can. I hate theives.

Frustrations at Work

There are days when I just want to stay in the bed. Yesterday, I learned of some information that I found very offensive. This is a pie job. I get upset with the way people do around here, but I have never judged any of them. I don't judge people that I don't know. I may joke around about a lot of the stuff in here. Well, there is a person that has taken that a little too far. The person made some racial comments that I just can't overlook. I asked my coordinator to look it over and she felt the same as I did, but she feels that there isn't anything we can do about it. I am just going to keep my distance and stay to myself. It isn't worth me losing my job over. If anymore of the nonsense comes up, then I will address it and see to it that something is done about it.
