So Much Happening
The last few days have proven to be rough. I’ve tried conquering the worst of it alone and have succeeded fairly well but I still have alot to cope with over the next few days.
Alot happened at work, and thankfully the worst of that has blown over already. I’ve still to decide if I want to put in for the promotion posted at work. Initially, I was reluctant to do so but since talking to the owner for awhile, in the office and alone, I’ve decided take some extra time and consider the possibility of putting for it. It would mean 40 hrs a week, managing a department and working days instead of nights. My entire world would change in reality. I assume it would mean a raise as well and maybe even insurance. Who konws. I don’t have details. I’ll let you all know if I opt in for the job.
Other things have been afoot here too. Lauren and the girls of the 11/12 softball team have their first game for the All Stars on Wednesday. I will be in attendance cheering my heart out. I was going to invite Chucks folks, who live where the games are being hosted, to the game but after today my former mother in law will be lucky if I’ll piss on her if she’s on fire. She made sure last summer that we didn’t see Chuck’s adopted son Caleb at all. He is Lauren’s brother after all and we have always welcomed him into our home. Since his mother died in 2004, Caleb has had it rough. He has always enjoyed time with us, and his sister and views Logan like a brother. The former mother in law has made it next to impossible for us to get time with him. She conviently makes sure hes not available when we want to see him. I decided to handle matters this year and call Chuck myself to make sure that he KNEW I wasn’t going to tolerate the mess this year. Caleb himself told us that “Granny” was going to make sure he was busy if we scheduled time to see him. I called her. I was pissed off. I warned her that if she tried to create tension that I would have issues with it. I also informed her that the crap she pulled last year wasn’t going to happen again and that if Caleb was being used just because she doesn’t like me anymore, I’d call Chuck up and bypass her all together. I’m not playing games this year. The bitch can fuck off for all I care. She actually told me that I don’t allow Lauren to call, to which I bluntly replied, “Lauren doesn’t call because she doesn’t like how you talk to her and treat her. You told her she can’t call Shawn “Dad” and that it was wrong. She doesn’t call or want to see you because you treat her like crap.” My former father in law STILL thinks of me as family and as his daughter in law. He still loves me dearly. He knows I would do almost anything for him, should he need me. We are supposed to get Caleb for the holiday weekend, we shall see how that goes if it happens at all. If not, you can be fucking sure I will have a shit fit and post it here.
I post my first toy review tomorrow. I’ve decided on a name for my reviews. I’ll let it be a surprise until tomorrow. I’m looking forward to a long and fruitful partnership with VibeReview for as long as they will send me toys to test!
For now, I am going to settle in, watch the news and try to unwind. It’s been a long night, a long couple of days. The week is only just starting and already I get the impression that it won’t be an easy or simple week. There’s alot to come and alot to roll with. Keep your fingers crossed, I think I’m going to need the support/help.
