Just...blah....

That's how I'm feeling..just..blah. It's raining (again!) outside, and I'm hoping it doesn't rain next week when we take the kiddos to Six Flags. They've been waiting for this trip for a long, long time. And so have I, and J too ;) JJ and J have never been there, while I've been dozens of times in my life, and Ry has been once. So we're pretty hyped up about going.

That's about the only bright spot in my life right now. Got a letter from a lawyer in town that the bank is intending to sue me over a loan that I took out with George (late husband). I thought once they repo'ed the 2 cars that were part of the collateral, that'd be it and the rest would just go on my already-shabby credit report, and then it'd go into collections where I'd try to make measly little payments each month. So now I'm wondering, if they can indeed sue me and garnish my disability check? I'm pretty sure they can't take any money out of the boys' Social Security, but I can't afford for them to take any of mine either. I'm stretching the $$ now as far as it'll go, and having none left over at the end of the month.

But I did manage to get my computer back up and running, so no more laptop for me! Now it's just a matter of remembering everything I had installed on the old hard drive and reinstalling it on the new one. I'm just glad to be able to have a computer again! :)

And, as I mentioned in my last blog, I was trying to learn how to do YouTube videos... well, I discovered the "video" feature on my digital camera, and how to upload them, so here they are!

This is Ry, my oldest, he's 10:



and this one is JJ, he's 7:


At least I hope those show up lol I'm so excited that I figured it out!
I know all this other stuff will work out somehow. Faith. Perserverance. Determination. I'm trying...

I hope everything will turn out to be ok with the lawyer. You deserve being happy.

Both JJ and Rhy are very cute!

Boredom....

Boredom is setting in, I've been on the phones for an hour and no calls. I know it'll be back to back here in a couple of hours, so I'm enjoying the peace while I can. I'm currently debating whether or not I have time to rip off my headset, dash to pee, and get back before a call comes in. My luck, probably not. And I don't want to waste my precious break time. I save that for when the call flow is heavy LOL I really do like my job. Seriously. This is like THE job to have. Sitting at home, just listening to customers whine and bitch about their internet. Having a smoke, having some wine. Just kickin back and relaxing. Sometimes I can't believe I get paid to do this. And of course I worry that the project I'm on is gonna come to a screeching halt one day. But with the current call volume the way it is, and predicted to get higher by winter, I doubt it. There are some agents that have been on this project for 2 years. So it doesn't look like it's going...

We got it! We got it!

Today's date was hovering over me like a rain cloud. I could barely sleep last night, wondering what today would portend. Today was the day we would get "the call." The call that would change our lives. The call that would tell us whether we got approved for a new house or not. 10 a.m. No phone call. 11 a.m. I called and left a message. 12:37pm, she called. I answered the phone with a hitch in my breath and fevered prayer to God. She sounded happy when she said Hello. Good sign. Then I heard the magical words "You're approved!" But there was a catch. We weren't approved for a brand new home, the one we'd painstakingly chosen flooring and wallcovering for. We'd been approved for a repo. Neither Bruce nor myself realized there was another option besides approval or denial. The repos are all in great shape, like brand new, and we can even use our first-time home buyer's credit as a downpayment. So now all we have to do is get the property tax in...

And we're in!

We moved in the house back in March. Well, halfway moved in. Lots of problems with the house, leaks, siding missing, etc. But most of that has been resolved. Made my first mortgage payment Tuesday! Got a new car too, that Intrepid was just too much trouble to deal with so I traded it in. Both boys are in karate now. Jacob took first place in his first tournament Sun May 2nd, and Ryan took 2nd place in the white belt division. 2 more weeks and they have their belt test for yellow belt. I hope Ryan is invited to take the belt test, he needs a little more work to perfect his technique but overall he is doing good. The new scout troop we're in is doing well also. We need 2 more boys to be a fully chartered and recognized troop, and we're working on that. We lost a lot of boys at recharter due to various reasons, now we're just working on getting that charter back. Ryan is just one step away from getting First Class scout, and Jacob is still a Cub Scout with one year to go befor...
