brief update

Well, let's see. . .

- applied for a job with the Rutherford County school system as a SpEd Educational Assistant;
- applied for a job with the Murfreesboro City school system as a Title I Ed. Assistant;
- applied for three jobs with the Veterans' Administration;
- applied for a job with Immigration and Customs Enforcement;
- applied for a job with the State of Tennessee Department of Human Services.

I haven't heard back from any yet. So we shall see.

Then there's these things. . .

- hubby is fighting with his parents who feel that we are merely "guardians" and not true parents to our children, well, actually, they only care so far as C is concerned, and again wish they had filed for custody before he married me;

- hubby decided that, as my mother wishes to take all of us to Disney for spring break 2010 (my bday, J's bday, C's bday), only J and I will go. He doesn't want to go back as he "doesn't like it" (is it possible to NOT like the happiest place on earth?? seriously??) and since C didn't like Universal (can't say as I blame him), he won't be going either. So now mom is all in a tizz like it's her D is avoiding and if we were to go without her or to go elsewhere he would go. As I told her, if he doesn't want to go, that's fine, but I'm not letting him ruin this for me and J.

- J has had two perfect weeks at school, and has only moved his clothespin at school once this entire month. He also had a perfect first report card. :-)

- C had the best report card he's ever had, which is great. He got it because his teacher constantly rides him about being responsible. Yay for her! He screwed it up this week, though, and decided to leave his stuff at D's parents' last night. . . D mentioned it to his mother, who had his father rush it over to us at 9:45 last night, thus eliminating ANY lesson in responsibility being learned by C. *this would be the cause of the fight between D and his parents.

- I don't want to do the holidays with ANYONE this year, as I am disgusted with the selfishness they inspire. I refuse to support it any longer.

That's it so far. Hopefully, I'll be posting about a new job very soon.
