Tuesday

Well I didnt say I'd be back EVERYDAY. I figured I could keep up on this blog but it turns out...IM A QUITTER. Yea, thats right. Quit the blog AND quit smoking. Woohoo!!!! Last day of smoking was August 1. Well that was until last week. Apparently there are some things that are going to be a struggle for me to give up. But, if I keep working on them, pretty soon I will be perfect. Well maybe not perfect, but I will smell better and that has to mean something to someone!!

MRLI have been in counseling!!!! I told him either a counselor or the newspaper (for apartment hunting). That, needless to say, has been interesting. The first few sessions were rather heated. Apparently I am some over protective momma bear. Well, name a single mother who isnt. It's not too much to ask another person to just leave your kids alone is it? I mean, I dont interfere with HIS parenting, he can back off on mine. Im capable afterall. Ya think? Sheesh.

So I took up a new hobby - saltwater aquariums. It started out as a birthday gift that has steam rolled into a complete and total fascination for me. See my babies????? Ok, well I will show them to you just as soon as blogger decides I can add photos. Whats up with that???

Im back

Temporarily or whatever, I dont know. I just thought ti might be nice to stop and say hi to all the folks I have been dogging for the past 6 months. (Yea, like they remember me right!)

I left my old job. Not that I didnt like it, I did, but it just felt like nothingness. No credit for bustin my hiney for them for a few years, no nothing. I got called into the bosses office for somewhat of a review and was simply told I was getting an increase in pay. I did however get a reprimand for having a tiff in the office. That is a whole other story that basically boils down to my refusal to be treated like a child.

During my "tiff" I fired off resumes and the calls started coming in. I also got a call from a former colleague who went to work for our competitor. That is the position I ended up taking. A rather nice salary increase, and alot less responsibility. My former boss hired 2 girls to take my place. Needless to say I was slightly disgusted to learn they were paying one of my replacements almost the same as they had paid me. Although they threw me a little party with cake and flowers, I felt totally confident about this new change.

So here I am at my new job, screwing off and saying hi to all my old blogger friends. Keep in touch, Ill be checking in and out!
