Jen, your frustration level is speaking volumes. I am afraid for you to speak up but more afraid for you not to speak up. It seems they don't listen to you anyway. Hang in there. Maybe it's time to put your resume out there or look at another line of work. Is your economy there pretty stable or is it bustling like ours? I guess you guys could always move to Eunice. We are in the process of building a uranium enrichment facility. Hell, Kevin could probably run the place! LMAO

Oh I wish I could move from this town. The only reason we live in it is because his kids are here so it makes it very easy when we have them....which as you know is all the time in the summer and most of the winter.
The economy here plain sucks. I could get my old job back in a heartbeat or go to either competitor of that place too as I still get calls asking me. The problem is I do not want to travel an hour + one way. It's not worth it to me any longer....plus the fact that I am alllllways running the kids somewhere.
I don't know what I am going to do honestly. Jess' all star coach owns 2 bigger businesses in the area, so I very well might suck it up and call her to see if they have any openings.....problem with that is at one of the companies guess who does the IT? Kevin's exwife. ROTFLMAO.

just checking in quick before i get the kids from school...i'm off to put on my walking clothes and head out after i drop them off at home!

Atta girl Nikki!

I have to run to walmart later before I forget! I am out of nail polish remover(and the nails are actually looking good) and Garrett looked like he was going to a flood this morning. On top of that Miss Sasha decided to chew on Jess' zipper on her winter coat.....I am not even walking in the door at home....I will meet them at the bus stop and go straight from there that way as soon as I get through the door at home do not pass go...go straight upstairs and change clothes.
I am also telling them they only get 1 hour of wii total tonight...there are other games that can be played this evening.

ok i keep trying to post and it won't let me
trying again. ok i feel like an addict that needs to keep
checking in. this is hard. im so uncomfortable in my pants-
yo'd think at alone would be motivation enough, but it's still
hard to stay focused. i am 100% op so far, yesterday was
a bust. there is still alot of chocolate and crap lingering around here
and my BIL won't let me chuck it. he's a tightwad and will not part
with anything. even a sliver of tinfoil gets saved.i'm sure im a buttwad but whatever.
he keeps saying i can start a diet when all the crap food around here is gone. me and my clementines are staying strong.
be back to whine about my fat self and hunger issues later!

I am staying put on here too today.....as you can tell.
Anna don't let him see you throwing anything out! Thats what I have to do with Kevin.....he does not believe in waste.

DRINK YOUR WATER!

can I just tell you thank god less than an hour to go!?!?!

good point jen, i can secretly trash some of this.
he asked "whats wrong with one piece of chocolate"
and i said-nothing...its the fact that one piece of chocolate
pushes me to binge. sad!

hey what's the story with kraut and pork on new years?
is that some tradition my parents neglected to instill?

I never heard of the pork and sauerkraut either until I moved here. Perhaps an "inner country" thing since you and I grew up on coasts. LOL
Throw the friggin chocolate out!

wait....did you grow up in CA?
