bills bills

I am kind of frustrated right now and bored so I will blog about my frustration. So not to go in to too much of my personal financial situation but the arrangement that James and I have with child support is strictly through us and if we went through the court he would have to pay me more then double what he does now, which is ok for now because that is what I agreed to. But at the same time his child support doesn’t even cover ½ of daycare for a month let alone clothes, food and general living that I have to pay for Ty. So anywho ty had a doc.’s appointment yesterday and James was nice and said he would take him. : ) right before he left work to pick up Ty he e-mailed me and asked if I could help out with the co-pay. It’s like 20 bucks. I don’t know why he can’t afford that but whatever, I said fine. Then he calls me and tells me about the doc’s appointment and tells me that the antibiotics are like 80 bucks. And if he can’t afford $20 then he can’t afford another $80. I guess usually people in our situation split medical bills which is what we do for his surgeries but for co-pays and medicine I think whoever takes him should just eat it and pay. I take him to most of the appointments anyways. But nope, I have to pay for the doctor’s appointment & medicine. Blah.. And he gets paid more then me and has less bills…WTF.

two nemo's

Ty has been begging me to get some fish for him. It seems like all he wants to do for fun is to go to the pet store to see the fish. So i gave in and got him 2 goldfish. Easy pets. He only wanted the orange fish because they were nemo fish. So i asked him what he wanted to name them and he said both of them are nemo. So now we have two nemo's. and that is all...

Stereotypes exist because they are constantly reinforced by many of the people that the stereotypes are made of

That is what i think every day as i am driving in Scottsdale...but any who..


I found a jeweler that i really like for wedding jewelry and she doesn't have a store, so you can only get them at stores who stock her stuff. One of the stores is right by my work so i went there at lunch today and i drive past the window and there are a bunch of wedding dresses in the window...i thought this was just going to be a jewelry store not a wedding store. I haven't tried on any dresses yet because i want everyone (all my girls) there when i try them on. I feel like our wedding will not be a reality until i try on dresses and pick one, so i hate looking at dresses, because it makes me so excited and i don't want to be tempted to try them on yet, especially by myself. I decided to go in the store anyways to look at the jewelry and while i was looking this girl/woman walked out of the dressing room in one of the most perfect dresses i have ever seen! I couldn't stop staring at her and the dress, she had the same body type as i do and it looked amazing on her, and it was the main style i was looking for too. I was sooo jealous of her, i felt like giving her a hug cause she looked so cute and punching her because i was so jealous at the same time. . . After seeing that dress i was so tempted to look at the other dresses, and i knew if i did that i would want to try some on and i don't want to do that yet. So i ran out of the store. Luckily i looked at the store on-line just now and that store sells dresses by, Vera Wang, Versace etc...so i wont be going back there to look at the prices. But i am super excited to look as happy as she did in my own perfect dress!!! : )

IRS

So for the last 3 weeks I have been trying to get a hold of the IRS because when I got my wonderful stimulus check it said I didn’t have a qualifying child. So as I wonder who the little boy is who lives in the room across from me and spends every penny I have for the last 3.5 years I quickly figured out that I was jipt the $300 because on my taxes I misspelled Tyler’s name, (we changed Ty’s last name last year on his birth certificate but I have not gone down to the social security office to change it there yet. I put his ‘new’ name and not the one registered with the SS office.) The IRS fixed the name a while ago and everything was wonderful. So after being on hold for over 2 hours this morning I explained my situation to the rude lady and she was so quick to tell me that they don’t re-issue out checks. (I don’t want another check I just want an additional one) She also explained to me that they base the stimulus check off of the first copy of taxes you submit… so I asked her what happens if they over paid someone on the check? She then told me that they never over pay anyone. I just read an article yesterday that they accidentally sent out duplicate checks to a lot of people.

I decided that I am not going to complain about it because really it’s awesome to get the $600 in the first place. I know a lot of people hate the government because they ‘take all our money’ but I am not one of those people. I have a child and I’m not rich so I always get a big check around April, which makes me happy. But not being able to get a hold of them for 3 weeks, being on hold for over 2 hours and then getting a rude customer service rep, kind of made me mad.

woot woot!

So that guy said hi to me again, I guess I have decided that he is just hitting on me…eww. Not cool.

So Ty has decided that I am a bad bedtime reader and 90% of the time he wants Jake to read to him. And at first it made me really sad, then I felt like it was ok because Jake does all the character voices and stuff so I understood why he was cooler. But then he would not let me read and I got really sad again. So I decided to have just a mommy time before Jake reads with his cool voices. I got him these flash cards a long time ago, thinking that my kid was way smarter then Einstein and he could do Flash cards at like 1 ½. HA! I decided to do some flash cards with him to get him memorizing numbers and letters and what they look like instead of just singing the alphabet or whatever and let me tell you he loves them! He flips out when he gets a number right! I have never seen him so happy! It has to be the cutest thing I have seen. He has 8 and 2 down like no other. But ‘10’ is just a 0 and a 1 not 10, he doesn’t get that at all. It’s funny though.

Yesterday I went to the bridal show with Rachel and Nicole and it was awesome! It is the 3rd one I went to and this one was the best. The first one I went to was just me and Jake for ‘fun’ but then I got stressed out.. which sucked. Then I went to the one in January with my sis and mom, and that was fun but stressing too. But this one was just relaxing and fun because I already have a lot planned I just need to fit it all together. And we looked at dresses! Actual dresses in front of my face, not just ones online. It was exciting, but overwhelming.

I am glad we have a long engagement anyone who plans there wedding in 6-9 months is crazy. What are you thinking?? You have to be so stressed out the whole time you don’t have any time to enjoy the engagement.

Well I am pretty much excited about life right now.. yep.

who are you???

So this guy started at my work this week and he works in a diff. department so I don’t see them and today he said, “hi beth!” and I was like “hi!” (why are you talking to me? I don’t know you) the way he said hi was an, ‘I know you’ hi. And I don’t know who this guy is. It is kind of frustrating. Maybe I am reading in to it and he doesn’t know me and is just a being nice, or a freak. We will see. All I know is that I googled him and I still don’t know how I know him….weird.

colorstrology

It's 10:00 i should be asleep, for most people it is not time for bed but i am usually asleep by now. . . Ty does have to have that surgery, which is what i was expecting but it still sucks.
Today one of my co-workers brought in a book that i almost bought before called colorstrology, its like astrology but based off of the day you were born. We read everyone's in our office and all of them were scarily accurate. It was crazy. Mine said:
"You have a great sense of humor and know how to read people and situations with profound accuracy. you are highly emotional and sensitive and therefore may have developed a strong protective layer. it is not easy for others to permeate that shield, even though connection on a deep level is your hearts desire. you are sensual and people find you extremely seductive."

The last part is kind of funny but the rest is totally me.
