Reading the Book: Marley and Me

I am reading Marley and Me and I was wondering if anyone else has or is so that maybe we could go to the movies to see it.

Let me know. The book is adorable so far.

Should I be closer with my family?

I have been doing alot of thinking and people wonder why you avoid them and you are not willing to confide in them. Why would you want to confide in someone who will just turn and hurt you. Lately I feel severly betrayed and hurt by people I share a bloodline with. I do not understand. I am closer with the people in my life that I am not related to. That is who I want to spend time with when I have spare time in my schedule. When I was young I loved that I had a big family and I felt that my family is more important than anyone elses. I thought I had something more important than the rest. But as I have gotten older I have discovered that they are not what my false persception was in my mind. How could it make you happy to make someone else's life miserable.

Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night! lol

This is a new thing for me!

I had training today for work to learn how to refund accounts and I had another training on how to do domestic wire transfers. This is the first official training I have went to. I have been learning most of the things that I have through doing it in the branch. Beth and Steph have been very helpful. My friend from another bank that I used to work with was in training today because she just started at the bank... Shellique! She knows all about balancing because she has three children of her own and 1 step-daughter too. We had the breast-feeding debate today... I am always willing to stand firm on my decision on why I did not breastfeed Alex. I give a ton of credit to whoever decides to do it because I know how important it is to some people. I personally feel connected with my son and I did not breastfeed but it is all preference. With me going to school and work I thought it would be too much to pump and I wanted to continue to eat and drink in a certain way. So off that, but speaking about what I eat. Not that I do not already have a complex about my weight my Grandmother was asking about me to my Aunt and she asked how is that "blimp" and she said some other rude things. How hurtful is that to have your own family throw you under the bus. I was so hurt. My weight bothers me and I know that I have to make changes and implement exercise into my daily routine. She is angry with my Mom so she is taking it out on me I guess. I do not have time to go and see her and I am punished for the fact that I am trying to make money, and get an education, and raise my son. Wow!
On another note, As you know Chad and I are not well off I paid off a lot of our debt and medical bills and I wanted to get Chad a CHEAP pick-up for Christmas. Very cheap like, $500 or less. Well I ended up telling Chad about it and he was able to buy a truck from someone he know ( Laura's brother lol). Small world! Chad is estatic. I am going to try to pay off my car and trade it in and pay the difference, and then drive Chad's lancer and that will save us the car payment and we could not have three cars. Chad is happy with his "MAN" truck. If everything wasn't caught up paid I would have NOT allowed it. I was trying to pull it off on my own and then I discovered I have no idea about buying a truck or what is a good cheap truck. This can't be a money pit. Good news we are selling the bike now, $5000.00 and that will be one less payment and we will not have to have insurance. Chad hasn't been riding because he doesn't hang with anyone who rides street bikes anymore. Our ten year plan may have a Harley in it. lol. Well if you have any questions or you want to know something I am open and up for questions. I hope many of you who are unable to see me this will be a help to you to stay updated.

Alex is great, he is 24.6 lbs and he has 12 teeth, he is beautiful and his christmas pics are awesome! He loves to sing and dance and we start a Mommy and me class in January at Lets Dance Studio in Glassboro....(Hi Michelle)
