Phone home

I’ve been trying to get ahold of Cassidy for three days now. I have not gotten to talk to her since she left Saturday morning. 🙁 They have had the phone plugged into the computer so they don’t hear it ring and the cell phone is turned off till they pay it. 🙄 I called her father yesterday morning to tell him that I would call last night at 7:00 EXACTLY and to have the phone available. I called at 7:00, 7:30.. then again at 8:30 and it just rang and rang and rang. 😥

Anyway… I finally got through a little while ago on the home phone but she’s at bible school till 12:30. I’ll try to call back around 1ish. I miss my baby so much already. I can’t wait till I get to see her again. I don’t know if I’m going to make it another 2.5 weeks.

If for some reason I am not able to get through again today, I’m getting in the car in the morning and driving to get her. I’m being NICE by letting him have her for this month and a half. According to our court papers he gets every other weekend… even in the summer. BUT, being the nice person I am I VOLUNTEERED to let him have her for OVER half the summer.

I’m not, however, nice enough to give her up for that long and not even be able to TALK to her!! 👿

Ben returns

My honey is home. He had a good visit with his dad & Kandy and got to spend some time with his sister and niece and nephew. I was suuuuuure glad to have him home. :love:

Now I’m going to go lock him up and never let him leave the house again. Except maybe for tennis. :nana:

Passwords..

I learned today that my ex and his g/f have entered the new century and have finally managed to get a computer and internet access. As much as I hate to do this, I need to start password protecting posts.

You have a few options if you would like to read the posts…

#1 – I’m going to set up a forum on the message board that APPROVED members can access that will have the passwords listed by date. Instructions for this will be listed on the board.

#2 – You can email me one time and I’ll do a mass email out to other bloggers when a new post is protected. You MUST have a working blog in order to go this route, NO exceptions. If you don’t, you need to go through the message board. When you email, please send with it a link to your blog. At anytime you want to be removed from the email list, you can email me and let me know and I’ll take you off immediately.

Again, I’m sorry to have to do this but I just can’t have the stuff I say here used against me at a later time and most importantly, I won’t have then using it as ammunition to disparage myself to my daughter.

HMPH!

No call yet. I’ve been trying to call the cell phone and it just says ‘The cellular subscriber is not answering at this time.’ We always CALL TO MEET. They get here, they call. When we meet half way, whoever gets there first calls.

And Cassidy can tell time. And she see’s it 10:35 and she was supposed to leave at 10:30 so she’s following me around the house asking me why we haven’t left yet. She s carrying the phone in her had wiating for the call.

😡

Daughter Days.

Today was Cassidy’s last say of Kingergarten. She is now, accoding to her, a first grader. *blank stare* I’m still in denial so more on that later.

She was supposed to be picked up by her father today at 3:00. He called last night about 9:30 to say that he wasn’t able to get the day off to come get her… and this after INSISTING that he “had better be able to pick her up the DAY she gets out after not having seen her for OVER a month!” Ummmm hello assmunch… you call, you see her. That’s a pretty simple concept. Try CALLING her more than once every other month and make an EFFORT to see her. The last two times she’s seem him (this vacation will make it THREE) was because SHE called him and wanted to see HIM.

And hello, you work for you DAD for Christ’s sake… and we were together for six years. Don’t use your dad not letting you off as an excuse, I know better. If that’s the case it’s because you waited till the last minute to ask. You had TWO weeks to plan ONE day to pick her up. At least he’ll be here tomorrow, or at least he better. So ANYWAY, as you can imagine I was a little upset becuase I had to tell her that he was not coming today. She was not too happy about that.

In an attempt to take her mind off it we decided to have a ‘girls night’ since Ben left today to spend the weekend with his father. After we dropped him off at the airport we went to WalMart and she bought a new Bratz doll with her Tooth Fiary money. Then we got a pizza and a few movies and some popcorn and we pigged out while watching Cody Banks. Cute movie.

She REALLY wanted to watch that one again so she’s all into it right now. Once was enough for me and it gave me time to finish packing all her stuff for Troy to pick her up tomorrow at 10:30. And now I’m gonna go get the living ready for our ‘Living Room Camp Out’ including sleeping bags and all that jazz.

She’s leaving for a month and a half!! I can’t think about it now, I’ll just get drpressed… SO instead I’m gonna go get us some ice cream and vedge in front of the TV in our mini campground! Night all!

Mozilla

I know that my site looks a little funny in Mozilla… I should install Opera and see how it looks there. The thing is, I’ve been reading a bunch of ‘Web Standard’ nazi crap the last few days and I really don’t feel the need to conform.

Yes, I know that in Mozilla the scrollbar is not colored… and yes I know that in Mozilla the background scrolls in the blog and the light green background for the post is not there. If you are seeing that, I’m sorry. Try IE. It’s a nice little application and I swear Microsoft is not out to KILL YOU!!

I feel for professional web designers that have to add an extra 5,252,585 lines of code to an HTML or CSS document to get it to work in 6 different browsers. Is there a particular reason that Mozilla could not just make it’s application read HTML the same way that IE has been for YEARS to make it easy on us webmasters or would that just be TOO MUCH to ask?

Okay, I’m done for now.

M3 no more.

Well… the lady is gone. Ben found a buyer last minute that offered him a good amount for the car. He drove to meet the guy today, the guy test drove it, drove to the bank and got the funds and that’s that. He drove away with one very well maintained, very nice, very quick BMW M3.

This is going to be SUCH a huge help for us financially. With a combination of the car payment/incusrance being gone and me finding a job that pays a decent amount of money, we will be able to pay off the debt we both owe at a MUCH quicker rate.

It was sad to watch the guy drive away. 🙁 Hearing the whine of the supercharger and the grumble of the exhaust that I’ve gotten so used to kinda got to me. We had a lot of fun in that car. Ben moreso than me but I know that I’ll miss it too. What I’m keeping in mind is that once the debt is paid off, we will be able to afford nice stuff like that again.

Ben want’s to eventually have a strictly track car. He’s actually hoping to build one from chassis up and I’m excited about that. I miss geting my hands dirty and helping out on builds like that.

So goodbye to the lovely M3 and goodbye to DEBT!!
