What to do

I need suggestions, so PLEASE help me. My sister and her son moved down here at the beginning of April and it was our understanding that because my birth mother and her ex(Jim) were split up and fighting that Jim was going to rent an apartment down here for Melody because it was the best place for her. Now fast forward to today. I talk to Melody only to find out that this past weekend when she was visiting with Susan and Jim, that they kept trying to get her to move back to who knows where. Jim also told Melody that as long as she is here he won't send her any money. Melody is bringing in some money here and is helping with bills. She is also looking for a job, but at the time she doesn't have enough money to get an apartment alone. Should I just tell her that she should go back to living with her abusive mother, or do I let her stay here until she finds a room-mate. I really enjoy her being here, and especially since she has money, I am not supporting her 100%. If anyone knows of anyone looking for a room-mate, please let me know ASAP!! Thanks

Oh Dear

I know I haven't posted in a long time and I'm sorry. I'm a slacker. Here's what's new in my house. Melody and Zachary had no place to live so guess where they are living...that's right...my house. They are going to be living here until Jim, my birth mothers ex boyfriend, rents an apartment next to ours. That however will not be till at least June. Yay me!!!

Life Update

There is no baby, not that I am suprised though, I never thought there was one. Went to the doctor and didn't really need to go in because we just talked. I got scheduled for an ultra sound to look at my ovaries and my uterus. The doctor is worried that my uterin lining isn't as good as it should be...but she is going to take a closer look. I also have to have some stupid test done to see if my fallopian tubes are even open and if they aren't I might have to have surgery...I am not too keen on that idea. Also, Matt has to do a Semen Analysis done, not once but twice. He had one awhile back but they didn't tell him that he was needing a follow up one it 3-4 weeks so he never got one. They are $85 a piece and last time that it got done Matt's sister paid for it. This time we are lucky enough that my insurance will cover it...GOOD NEWS!! I will post more when I know what's going on

Maybe you can help

I am having a really hard time understanding what is going on. I just don't get it. Today I got to work in a really good mood and I was all happy and everything. So my boss asks to speak to me. First thing I say is, "Am I in trouble?" she said "no" so went ahead and talked. Well, I wish I was just in trouble. Found out today that our salon is not making enough money per us working per hour, so if it doesn't get better in a designated amount of time....wait for it....get this. They are going to fire all 5 of us that work there and hire new people. How the hell(please excuse my language...if you are offended, get over it,it's my blog) is that going to fix the problem. Half the people that come into that salon are people that we have brought in and request us. Not only that, but Matt and I JUST moved out and started our life again, if I get fired there is nowhere else that is hiring..and we will lose our car that is within months of being paid off. Even if I don't get fired I need a second job, my hours got cut down to 30 hours a week. So if anyone knows of ANY PLACE that's hiring, please let me know ASAP. Thanks!!!

I am so FETCHING PISSED!!!

I have secretly been planning with 2 other girls from work to go to the Taylor Swift Concert and I was going to take my niece for her 12th Birthday(Normally I would NOT spend that much money on a birthday gift but there are some exceptions for this one) and a girl from works little sister wanted to go also. So we all put in the money and Steve was going to get the tickets this morning. He arrived at 9:45 to an F.Y.E. that has a ticketmaster place in it and the guy laughed at him and told Steve that if he was there to get Taylor Swift tickets then good luck. At 10:00 Steve tried to get tickets and they were SOLD OUT!! The guys said they sold out in 15 seconds. And most of the tickets went to people that PRESALED. Well there should have only been half available for Presale because in order to do that you have to have Mastercard which I don't have. I am PISSED!!!

We've Moved!!

After 2 years and 4 months of oh so long living here and there, we finally have our own apartment!! It is SO exciting. It is tiny but perfect. And the best part is that it has running water, internet, and cable. I don't think anything could make me happier. We really lucked out with the place that we are at and now finally, Matt and I can start putting us first! The sad part is that we are in a new ward now, but how bad can it really be to go to a ward where you don't know anyone?? I will get back to you on that one!

I can finally take a breath!!

I can't believe how fast this week has gone by. It has been one of the craziest weeks I have had in awhile and at this point I am glad that I don't have kids yet(I am going to regret saying this later). It makes me really appreciate my mom a lot more. I never knew or even thought I knew what it was going to be like to try and juggle 5 kids and work a full time job. For instance, today is Saturday. Usually when Matt isn't going to be home I will just eat a late lunch and then skip dinner, well today I came home to 5 starving kids...and I thought to myself...I guess these kids have to eat huh?? Who knew. Anyways, all in all this week has been amazing. The kids have been great and luckily I have a cool boss that let me skip one day when I didn't have a ride for Michael and then the rest of the week let me work shorter shifts so that I could be home with the kids. It sure is nice to be able to sit down and catch my breath. Oh yeah...one other weird thing. I never knew why my mom always felt like she was doing laundry. Well, now I know...but I still think my mom had it worse seeing as she has 6 kids and 2 adults and Steph only has 5 kids. But then at the same time, Melody and Zachary were here so it's like having 7 kids and 2 adults!!!

By the way...Melody is gone, at least until the summer :(
