Happy Mothers Day All
May 14, 2006 | 9:58 P.M.

I know, I know. Long time no update! But I've been so incredibly busy with the new job (and a lot of that is due simply to the commute with the new job) and I am usually in the mood only to bitch incessantly and I don't want to put that out into the 'Net world. Just keep in in my head where it is. But we've also been busy searching for another place to live since we have only two weeks left before we have to be out and none of our prospective places had panned out...yet..but it looks like that may have changed today! And the new job...eh don't get me started. Unfortunately I am making enough now to find a job that I would enjoy doing (or atleast not despise doing with a passion) much harder. I am not sure how quickly this job would help me pay off any of my bills but it'll help out with other things anyway and the bills could very slowly be paid off.

The main problem with the job is that the store I work in is now our only client as they dropped other clients. And now that it's almost time for The Home Depot to review our company to decide whether or not they want to renew my company's contract our company realizes that if they do not get it renewed, we're all out of jobs because there are no other client companies to fall back on. So about 10 rules have changed since the job was explained to us and those rules were the ones that made the job more suited to my current situations. I was to believe that living in Philadelphia until we moved wasn't going to be a big problem. One rule change made it so that I have to be in by a certain time. With several varying factors, it's not always simple to be in there by that time. And dislike being admonished about occasionally breaking that rule because I had explained in the beginning that until I move, that would be a very important factor for me. I understand that they have to make changes in order for us to keep our jobs. But currently it's making the job so damned stressful as well as makes if feel completely unrewarding aside from the higher paychecks I get. I will eventually get more into it but that's enough for now.

We went down to Lansdale today to check out two apartment complexes and then spend the day with my mom for Mothers Day. We ended up not going to the second apartment complex because the first one looks very promising. They are offering one and two bedroom apartments. We went through some initial lists of our expenses at my mom's to decide if we think we can afford the two bedroom apartment over the one bedrooms. All of the apartments available are on the second floor which means that we will have a balcony!! The complex has a pool which is a huge plus and I put that into consideration when we think of how much we are going to pay per month for the place. It's really not too much for what we're getting. And we certainly make enough to cover it. But it will be more difficult in the long run to pay off my extremely high debts. I think the biggest stress factor is that our affording the place will hinge on my keeping this job that I am rather disliking...and again making it a little harder to find a job to replace it because the new job will have to make me atleast as much money.

Tomorrow Jenn is going back to Lansdale herself to see another place. It's a one bedroom which may be too small for us. But she made the appointment to see it and it really couldn't hurt. After she sees it I will allow her to make the determination as to what will be best for us. We should know by Tuesday night where we are living. Because we were approved for another aparment complex owned by the same company, alls they have to do is fax our papers over to the office of the new complex so we can cut out the wait of the credit checks and all that.

We are looking to sign whichever lease on Sunday morning and moving in that day. We will be packing a U-Haul truck on Saturday night and driving it down to Lansdale because we can't keep it on the street here. We will most likely spend the night at my mom's and then unpack the truck into our new place on Sunday. More about that as developments..uhhh...develop.

Rob had to go to work today but we gave my mom a gigantic card, purple azaelias and a pretty dragonfly windchime for Mothers Day. We watched Hoodwinked (which was awesome/hilarious) and part of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which my mom had to finish herself as we had to catch the train home. But it was a relaxing day which turned out to be pretty beautiful despite its dreary first half. It was a great day! And we should be able to spend an even longer, quiet day with her on my birthday in two weeks.

Right now Jenn is packing and talking with her friend that brought some items we need to pack. I hope they finish up so we can make something to eat and watch some of the new Aqua Teen Hunger Force Volume 4 DVD set that I bought on Friday but we've been too busy to start watching it yet. I REALLY hope he goes soon. Nothing against him of course but I do have to wake up at 4:45am and it's late...and I am starved hehe

Well that's it for now. But I will try to be back in less time that it has been recently. There's plenty to go on and on about but I just need the time to get on to mention any of it.

Anyway...have a great night and a good start to your weekend.
