It's a Monday

This morning as I type-Our whole sale company is on my crappy list. I had an order to be placed and they of course do not have the item. I made an executive decision and sent a replacement. I figured I would make the customer happy and screw the the overhead and the profit. I need to go into the site (eBay) and add the disclaimer and take what is gone/out of stock off the site. These are all new items. This is really getting old and tiresome.

I am still not working and this is becoming more frustrating! No income. No prospects of having an income. I am going to apply for unemployment but I have to wait until the middle of June. Then I can apply but i may not qualify. I hope I do qualify and can collect something. Even if it is just enough to cover the outstanding debt/bills I have. That way they are paid off and money can be put aside to pay the taxes on the money.

Another Mother's Day is over. Again I am still not a biological mother. I am a step mother and grandmother. I am becoming aware that we may not have our own children. It is disheartening and makes me a bit sad. OK it makes me a lot sad, but I am coming to accept it. between age and pcos, I know that it would be close to a miracle to have a child at this time. The reading and writing of that makes me a feel a bit more accepting about the issue. it is still sad, but I am able to better comprehend it.

Don and I talked about the money in my savings account. He was amazed how much was there, I was shocked that there isn't more. We discussed where the money went-taxes, blinds for the windows, glassware...we discussed how he will pick up the bills I still have outstanding once he puts them into his budget. That way I am not using the money from the savings account. I feel so crappy taking money like that, and not contributing any money into the house.

I am going to start to push the new web site. I have to put it on all correspondence and also put it on the ebay pages.

spring is in the air

Everything is totally green. It was almost like an overnight thing. The air quality is good and not too humid yet. The sun is shining. I am loving hanging laundry out in the line. Not only saving on the electric bill, but going green.

Flying to RI tomorrow. Still got a lot of work to do for class....conference call now! Great team so far. I am team leader for the video project and pulling the video project together.

I have lots to plant when our raised garden is ready. corn, beans, onion, radishes, carrots, broccoli, lettuce...yum yum

Boy it has been a long time since I have posted. I need to make a big effort to post daily. It has been a busy few weeks. Between class, the house, taxes...

Well, I will begin with saying isn't he cute?


Don is ready for mowing the acreage-all 10 acres. It takes about 4-6 hours depending upon how anal he can be with the clippings. What you can't see are the sandals pre-boots.
Don went to a "conference" in Chicago over the weekend. He said it was basically a sales pitch but he did learn a few things. And made some connections/contacts.

I made it throught 2 classes on line. Only about a million to go! The second one really kicked ass with work and difficulty. Then I go to check my grade (which was a B-hey I actually passed!) and I am locked out of the site. Now keep in mind class begins on Wed. this is Mon. I spent at least 5 hours on the phone Mon to find out that no where in my file is it stated I am to be blocked or why. Yup 5 hours I cannot get back! Finally I was sent to the registrar and was told that I had to have Wheelock College send a transcript (official) to Kaplan. OK. Now comes the question: WHy was I not told this in the past THREE months!? No call or email from my academic advisor nothing! He in fact did not call unitl Tues. and told me that I may want to think about taking a leave of absence for the class. That is an option--BUT--the paperwork had to be signed and faxed and approved prior to class beginning. I did not get any forms until Wed. Cosmo called and was more concerned than my advisor...I went through a clearing house to have the transcript fedexed to Kaplan. I still could not get on line to start class....not until Thurs. night. Mary was concerned also-she sent me the assignments for the first week. Woo Hoo!

Alabama has not refunded tax refunds in over two years. That means we are not getting a check from AL this year and I am out $1500. Ok that means it is more of 2 months of salary and I have to really not spend anything extra only focus on the bills. I really need a job!

I will say I splurged. Yup I did it, spent money I don't have! I bought beautiful glasses and a pitcher from crate and barrel. I also bought window treatments for the great room. I am going to hang them later and take a picture. I do hope all the things we need are in the long box.
