Lots to say today…

Today was my I think 4th day of work in my new location. I am sure I mentioned it but if not, I moved to a new store and at first I was not happy about it. I found a job I am happy with, I am moving up into the right direction. I just honestly didn’t want to leave the people I’ve come to see as more than just co-workers, but as family. My manager ended up making the move a bit more worth it when he told me he would be going to same store. I would be his “right hand man”. I am very happy I agreed to this. Not only is the store being completely re-done, but I am also getting more hours an more hours means more pay. So WIN. The point I was originally trying to make is, although I miss certain people I have come to see my boss for once be happy, silly and he is becoming like family and a friend. Not many people can say this about their superior but that’s what I love about this company its not like most jobs. It can be fun. My last location was very hard to work at because of the DRAMA! I know most places of work have some form of drama but this was more of a threatening type of drama. I wont be getting into this too much, my point is I am starting to really like that I moved to a new store.
So I did hang out with Nemo and it was like time never passed. I knew I missed her in my life but I never realized how much, when she dropped the “she’s my best friend” line I was touched. I have lots of close friends but very few I really consider my absolute BEST and Nemo was always one of them. During our time we discussed things in the last few years we missed, and one of the main subjects were about my Ex and his wife and how the kids are not treated very well. They don’t hit them or anything but the emotional abuse they get is almost as bad. Nemo works for family law and she mentioned speaking to her boss about what else can be done. During this talk mom mom called to tell me how distraught she was. The boys were with her and evil stepmom got there to get the kids for parenting time. Hunter, who generally is more go with the flow type was very upset. Physically carried and forced into the car. When we went to mediation at the end of the year we were told that we should always encourage going on scheduled days HOWEVER there will be days when the boys will not want to go, and we do not need to force them. It hurt to know this happened and to make it worse Hunter got lectured for it by her. It just baffles me how anyone can be so rude to a child. She makes my blood boil. So that is in my head when I get an email from my ex today directing me to explain to him why our kids were picked up early from school and I needed to tell him why.. 1. HOW THE HELL did he find out so quick? 2. NOT that I owe him anything but it was not “early” it was end of day. 3. To top it off he wants reasons but cant tell me how he can force his son to come to him even though he is CLEARLY upset? Oh but no please question MY parenting!! HA! What a joke.
Ben came home today in quite the moody teenage mood. He is going to be 13 next month and lately he is rather smelly. You know typical puberty. When he gets home his feet STINK! I mean STINK. So he needs to take his shoes off in garage then wash his feet, and I know he can not help it but its bad. Anyway when he got home today Jose and I were kind of all over him about it and he felt bombarded. Then I was all over him ( seriously cant blame me giving his history) about his homework. Do you have any? No, Are you sure? YES…same answers. GENERLLY same result. This time he was telling the truth and the more that happens the less I will be on him. He cried, and broke down and admitted he didn’t even know why he was so upset. I explained to him its life dude. You will be this way for a bit. It doesn’t help ether that he was seeing a therapist but since they are now under my ex’s plan I have yet to be able to take him because I am not on the card and blah blah blah. Its just well, difficult to deal with my ex at all. Its sad. Truly is.
So besides Ben getting upset, night ended well. We went to dinner and laughed and had a nice time. I was informed my little man has a “gf” My DOPEY has a GF lol. Its so sweet. He is actually going to her house tomorrow while I am at work. He will be 11 in April. So its about the age this stuff happens. The innocent “ BF, GF” thing lol. I had one from like first grade to middle of 4th. NO LIE. Same kid. I was telling the boys about my first “ kiss” with him We were in a clubhouse and reenacting a scene from “The Little Rascals’. You know the movie, I know you do. Well he sang “you are so beautiful to me” and his little sister made his hair stick up like Alfalfa and then gave me an innocent kiss. Memorable. I am friends with his family and him still on FB so hey Alfalfa if your reading this, thanks for the sweet memory.
This was the longest blog I have written and so with that I am going to finish watching “Americas Got Talent; Champions” with my man. Hope you enjoyed, I most defiantly did not keep it Simple tonight!
