a little bit of ranting

So i'm just hanging out at home with Aj. Aaron has had to work the last two days. I really took for granite all the time he was able to spend at home the last two weeks. its going to be hard when school starts and he will be gone almost every day.

we have been waiting and waiting for our letter from the navy so that Aaron can be sworn in and we can get our salary. yesterday aaron talked to his recruiter and come to find out when he had said we were accepted we really weren't! Aaron had just passed the first board. the good news is that he just passed the final board and we are officially accepted. but of course it is going to take another two weeks before we get any of the paperwork needed for him to be sworn in. i am so sick of being told that it will just be a few more weeks because it is always a few weeks and when that comes its a few weeks more.

to make matters worse aaron's new job has once again screwed us over. his boss was going to fire two people and aaron was going to work full time this last few weeks (which we really need since the navy is taking so long we are just surviving off of what little money aaron can make). well aaron thought he would help out his friend and get him a job too since they where firing two people...well low and behold the boss has yet to man up and fire anyone so now they are way over staffed. and guess who gets less hours because of it- thats right aaron! since once school starts he will only be able to work part time they just decide to make him part time now and give all his hours to his friend. it just makes me so mad...i'm so sick of us trying to help some else and it hurts us in the end.

To make matters worse the only thing i had to look forward to was moving into a bigger apartment (upstairs handicap). we have been on a waiting list for a year and a half for this apartment. because they are remodeling alot of the apartments not only here but on campus they are having to use some of our handicap apartments for some single students that would be living on campus. The apartment that the couple that now lives in MY APARTMENT wanted (which is a 3 bedroom i think) is being used for some of those single students so they get the one we would have lived in. this wouldn't really bother me except they have three kids and you cant live in a two bedroom apartment with 3 kids (once your 3rd baby is 6 months! BUT of course like all things that goes on in my life there is a double standard that doesn't benefit us because i saw there baby and if he is not 6 months he will be very soon!

honestly if you cant tell this is the last straw for me! i might just lash out at anyone. i am so sick of being screwed over and swept under the rug and forgotten. its not like life is stressful enough living off of 80 dollars a month with mountains of medical debt because we can only afford the worst insurance in the world. the only thing that was going to make me happy was this apartment and it was taken away and worse by a family that either shouldn't be there or should be leaving very soon (though i'm sure they wont). so we have been offered the downstairs handicap which has less room and no tub and who knows when we can move in because they may use it for some of the single students.

you might say i'm a little depressed...

August 2008

It's kind of weird for me to write a blog but I am going to try it out because everyone I know writes one. 

A big happening this week was that we returned home from washington (where we were visiting Aaron's parents). We went to see Aaron's brother get married. We had a really great time and Aj did really well with all the traveling. When we got home I tried to put Aj back in his bassinet but he was way way to big for it. I was unbelievably sad that I had to put him in his crib across the hall. Needless to say I cried half the night and spent the rest of it checking on him to make sure he was still breathing. He didn't sleep much either because he was in a new place and wanted to look around, now he has spent all day sleeping.

Aaron has been working hard at his new job, he is a mover for a furniture company. He is still waiting for his acceptance into the navy. Its hard waiting but we know it will be worth it once we get the letter.
