Okay here's the deal. My mother has decided that the boys and I have over stayed our welcome. So with no prior notice at all she has kicked us all out of the house. Granted we have stayed here a lot longer than originally planned we have been discussing plans for moving out the last month or so and the plan was to stay here till the end of the school year and then move to somewhere in Bay City or Saginaw. Well I guess thats not the plan anymore.
I don't have enough money saved to move into a place right at this second. What money I did have has been slowly spent in the last month since my last unemployment check (I just now got a new job). I have some more money coming in later this month and I'll probaly (hopefully) have enough for a place then, but unfortunately for now the boys are gonna move in with Erin and finish the school year in Midland. The deal she is making me is that if I will agree to get a place in Midland than I will get them back at the end of the school year. I hope that I'm not being decieved, but I honestly believe the reason she is making this deal with me is because she wants to see them more than what she has been seeing them but does not want a permanent full custody. I still can't help but believe I am setting myself up, but at this time I see little other option.
On that note I need a place to stay for the next month or two. If anyone out there knows anyone who is looking for a room-mate to split rent for a short term basis (like two months) it would really be a lifesaver. I'm pretty sure I can find a place to stay for a few nights but need to immediatly find a place. If anybody knows of anything please call me at 989-293-0035 and please leave a message.

I wasted over 3 hours online today, and I really mean that time was truly wasted. I spent more time online today than the whole last month combined.

It's been over two months since my last post. I remember when I used to post a couple of times a day.
I just looked at my "info" for what was probaly the first time since I created my journal. I truly was a different person two years ago so I updated that slightly. Didn't bother writing anything interesting since I don't really bother to use this thing anymore.
A quick update on things:
- I'm looking for a place in the Bay City area. It has to have room for a 8 or preferably 9 foot pool table somewhere so that really limits the places that I'll consider. Actually despite that I am considering buying a trailer from someone my parents know because I can get a hell of a deal there and live for less than half of what an apartment or house would cost me.
- I've gotten my boys into skating classes and most likely by this fall the older two boys will be playing hockey. So that is gonna take up alot of my time and a nice chunk of change out of my wallet.
- I'm still laid off. In fact I only have two weeks of unemployment left so I have to start looking for something else to supplement my income until I go back to work.
- Without Erin controlling my cash flow I have been able to go to every single Spirit game with the exception of one this year. The one I missed I only missed because I was at Cedar Point.
- Overall I guess you could say things are definetly better than they have been for quite awhile.

I'm sorry but the new Harry Potter sucked ass.
Now I have to go and try to catch an hour of sleep before I have to get up with Matthew to get him ready for school.

My boys: Matthew is still slightly sick. Other than that things are great. Erin: I think she is starting to realize I no longer have patience for her bullshit. She only calls me a couple of times a week now. Pool: Playing great and getting better all the time. Hockey: Both the Spirit and the Wings are playing great. Job: Unsurprisingly still off. Dating: ...one of these days I'll have a date where she actually shows up. Music: The new Kenny Chesney is all I have to say there.

Okay I'm gonna be honest. At one point during the night I was thinking about how the fact that I have very little life after the boys go to bed. I can't go anywhere so I sit around wishing I had something to do. Anyways so here I am tonight thinking about this and thinking about how life kind of sucks, but in reality the night the boys and I had reflects something totally different. We all played Mario Kart together for about an hour (Joey didn't really manage to do anything but get shot alot), all pitched in to make Spaghetti for dinner, and then we all sat down and watched Casper (the movie) because I thought it kind of fit in with a halloween theme. All three of the boys absolutely loved Casper. It was definetly a good rental. It comes time for bed time and I'm watching them laugh and dance to some Offspring I put on after the movie and I'm thinking about how tonight was actually really awesome. I had more fun tonight (and most of the time the boys and I do something together) than almost anything else I could of went out and done tonight. So to all you parents out there that complain about how they don't have life.... bah! Kids are awesome enough twice over to make up for not having "a life".

Early monday morning Matthew was admitted into the hospital. He was coughing extremely bad and having trouble breathing. It turns out he had Pneumonia. Matthew also has slight issues with Asthma and the two make a dangerous combination. So it was a scary and stressful two days but we are back home and Matthew is doing pretty good.

Fighter 85% Combativeness, 23% Sneakiness, 38% Intellect, 38% Spirituality | Good at hitting things and with a definite violent streak; you are a Fighter!
Fighters are the basic martial combatants in D&D. Their abilities and skills vary wildly between individuals, but they all share one thing in common� a definite preference for violence.
You're either really defensive, have an unhealthy fascination with sharp objects� or you just like hurting people. Either way, you should probably try and keep your cool. Being able to hack someone into pieces maybe a useful skill in most RPGs, but in real life it will just get you into trouble. | |
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 95% on Combativeness | | You scored higher than 17% on Sneakiness | | You scored higher than 3% on Intellect | | You scored higher than 43% on Spirituality |

I had a dream last night that I was playing in Stand Firm again. None of the same members were in it but none the less it was Stand Firm songs. Every single person there was singing along. Fun times.
Maybe the only reason I had the dream was because of my post last night.
