Besides Me Going Insane..

[miss kiki]

i had a pretty busy last couple weeks without you ladies..but don't worry, i'm glad i'm back! :hehe:

DF and i bought a bird feeder and planted flowers. they're already growing, so i'm excited. :)
our easter was pretty good. we went to my mom's house and also went to DF's parents house. it was pretty typical-church, easter egg hunts, lunch, dinner..it was nice.
i spent some time with my mom, her DF, my SIL, and brother. we went out one night and my mom bought me a beautiful dress that i'll be wearing to richie's communion. it's black and white and just a few days ago i bought really cute black shoes to match. :) i also bought becca's outfit, so we're both excited to wear them on that special day.
we borrowed a trap from DF's parents neighbor and finally after two days, the cat rye fell for it and was trapped. we gave her away and hopefully she's in a better place now and has a new family, or is FINALLY learning to trust us humans and is coming in contact with them more.
becca turned 9 years old. we went out to eat the weekend before with richie and DF's mom. it was nice. she was given an american girl doll, which are very popular here by DF's mom. it was a really nice gift and the dolls are pretty pricey too. i felt a little weird though after she told richie that he shouldn't become a father until he's 25..:blink: thanks for the hint! :hehe:
my dad came back from croatia. i went to the airport with my brother and SIL to pick him up. he was happy to see me. we drove him to new york, he's staying in a family friends' apartment building until he finds his own place..
then someone offered to buy my parents house in town, so my mom was going crazy and stressing out over the whole thing. one week she wants to keep the house, the next week she wants to move out and start a life with her and her DF. UGH. she drove me crazy..well, she talked to my dad about the whole thing and now they're not going to sell the house for at least another year or so..my dad ended up feeling bad for my brother and my SIL, since the baby is on the way and she wants my mom to be around to help her out..blah blah. so everything's ok now..such drama!!
the kids had their spring break from school. we didn't really do anything special, and then my grandmother and my SIL's twin sister came from croatia. i stopped by with john and the kids and we ate dinner there. it was nice. her sister loves it here. she's not as outgoing as my SIL, but that's ok.
then i had a little arguement with my family over stupid stuff-someone said i didn't support my mom, then another person said that i should have only came over without DF and the kids when my grandmother came, UGH. i was so pissed at my family all day, we fought back and forth and finally cleared things up. it's weird to see my grandmother here and have my SIL and her sister here too. i go there and she's not really even talking to me, she's talking to the other two girls, so i feel a little awkward..oh well though. my SIL also said that we're all going to go out and do stuff, but they've been going out and i don't get a call, so i don't know..yeah i go there during the day, but with no car and they don't have one we don't do much..but when my brother takes them out no one calls me, so i feel even worse in a way..but then again i'm sure she wants to have her sister all for herself too, so i can't complain really. :)
i also was sick and DF and i went to a comedy club one night. we never went before, so it was really nice for us two to go out and do something together. it was great, we laughed so much we cried. :)
and that's pretty much it! nothing too exciting, huh?! :hehe:

OMG kiki,
I just read that, heaps of things have happened with you. Hope everything has settled down now. :D

Busy girl, have a lovely time on Becca's special day.

How are things going on the job front?

[Mad Old Cow]

Kiki, families can be a real PITA at times & honestly i think it was so rude of them to expect you to go see your Grandmother & not take your DF & kids i just think its a bit nasty of them to say that to you but hey you are all okay now, but don't exclude your DF & his kids because they will feel like outsiders, you just keep doing what your doing & as for the SIL & her sister i think you might be right, she just wants to spend time with her because she does'nt see her . do you have any pics of you with your Gran?

[miss kiki]

thanks ladies.
things have settled down, except me and DF aren't doing too good. we hit a rough patch i suppose..
i've applied to two more jobs today..a couple that i applied for aren't even on the internet anymore, so i think maybe they already filled those positions. no luck yet..but i hope something comes soon that way i'm out of the house for at least 8-9 hours a day!
MOC-i felt horrible about that, because i constantly spoke about my grandmother to DF and the kids-she's so special to me and they were very excited to meet her. i honestly didn't think it would have been a big deal..families can be very weird and strange sometimes i think..i try not to exclude them, even though DF says it's fine if he is. this weekend they invited me to a pretty pricey restaurant and never said anything about DF and the kids going-my grandmother's treating everyone..so i feel weird to not go with them, because they are my family too. sometimes i feel so in the middle. i have a few pics that i have to put on the computer first, so i'll make sure i do that right now..will put it in the pic gallery. :)

[Patricia]

Wow..you have been busy!

Your Dad sounds like a very special person, always putting others needs before his own..:yes:

Yes, how did you go with the job applications you put in Kiki...did you hear back from them? I really hate it when you apply and they don't even have the courtesy to contact you with an answer :(

[miss kiki]

my dad is a very special person. i hate the fact though that he's always putting everyone else before him..i understand with the circumstance with the baby on the way (due any day now!) BUT still..he's been paying the mortgage for the past 3 years and he shouldn't have even been doing it..it seems like there's always excuses. i'll be inviting him over soon for dinner though, which will be a lot of fun. :yes: once things settle a bit with me and DF. nothing like a home cooked meal! :)

i didn't hear from anyone yet..i'm starting to get very antsy and am negative, but i'm really hoping i can at least start this month..PLEASE SOMEONE CALL ME ALREADY! :D

[Mad Old Cow]

fingers crossed for you Kiki i hope you get a job very soon it can't be easy for you & DF to be home together all the time, when you feel frustrated & ansty go for a good walk is DH looking for work too?

[miss kiki]

yeah, i've taken a couple walks..but still, i come back home to the same place and still the angry DH. he's just laid off right now, work has been very slow. he's worked a couple days in the beginning of this week for his friend as a side job, so at least something.

[kimba]

:comfort: Kiki. When money is involved(or lack off) it can put a strain on a relationship:yes: Just stay positive and before you know it you will both have good jobs and this bad patch will be gone:)

[miss kiki]
