this month is almost over and i am so glad! brandon and work are a very crazy subject! he got a call earlier this week telling him he was going ot be transfered to a different store.... again!!! this year alone he has worked at four different stores. hopefully this transfer will be his last! he is now working downtown! thats right s nevada right across from the pioneers musium! he gets along with the manager. he knew him when he was a manager. he is going to help train everyone in the store and get all his hours. :) that makes me happy!
on monday he got a call from val and was informed that all the guys that were on the need work union list were back to work. they ended up firing several guys for a list of not good things. he then called the guy hes been keeping up to date with and his assistant told him in a few weeks they were going to get everyone into orientation and interviews. No one at jiffy lube knows hes planning on leaving for obvious reasons. although after all the crap hes been through in the last 2 months i do not blame him!
Braden's birthday is in one week!!! i can not believe it! this year has gone by so fast! he has 5 teeth! 3 on top and 2 on bottom! he still is not walking but i am alright with that. he will stand if you put him up for a few seconds. he learned how to climb! its rather exciting but a little stressful! i loved when he was little and stayed in the same place. :) they grow rather fast and i cant believe how fast!
i've been emotional lately doesnt help aunt flo is in town however the other night we went to dinner with mom it was fun. brandon and mom were talking about work and what not. well brandon was telling mom that he and rick were talking the other day and rick asked when i was going to go back to work. as many know i am not planning on going back to work till after i finish school. i have about 11 classes before i'm done. rick then asked when i was going to go back to school and brandon told him most likely when braden goes to school. well mom then asked why i didnt take summer classes... Mary a friend of my moms has summers off and always watches kaiya! she is great with her and lives right over the hill from me. so brandon and i kinda nodded and told mom that was a good idea. well i have been thinking about it and after spring break i am going to get ahold of my advisor and talk to him. if i can get financial aid and if there are classes that i need offered then i might be going back to school!!! im nervous and excited and a little overwhelmed! i knew that i would go back. its something i always wanted and i truely loved my classes but i didnt think is would be happening so soon. nothing is set yet but thats the idea for now. not quite a plan but an idea. i'll keep everyone posted as things develop.

friday the 13th
it has been a long day!!! my emotions are thin and i am drained however there is a lot on my mind. first things first good news the fed taxes FINALLY arrived, thank goodness. my cousin had her baby girl aubry on feb 5th! shes a cutie! full head of hair and looks a lot like her mom. My sister just had her baby last night. hes soo little and a cutie also. hes the smallest baby in the family and nothing is wring with that. we went to see her today at the hospital. might as well nothing better to do.
so now on to the bad news and prolly why i'm emotionally drained. Brandon's new manager is a B*ch. sorry but she is! brandon had the last 3 days off.... not good! then went to work yesterday and learned he is now only talking ot customers no longer allowed to work on the cars. they told him its cuz hes the only one that can run a ticket... fine whatever. went to work this morning then had to talk to manager and her boss.... he told her he feels like he is being sexually discriminated against and that it isnt fair how he is being treated at work. well they wrote him up!!!! she claims he have been given 2 verbal warning about said topic. Never happened!!! this was just braught to her attention yesterday!!! so they sent him home... he has tomorrow off also. meaning his total hours worked this week 10!!!! from 40ish to 10 in one week. all because "he makes too much money to being working at that shop" at least that is according to the new manager. he never had problems before she showed up then all of a sudden there are issues! the head boss told his "he is having issues adjusting" well i would be pretty pissed also if i got my hours cut down to next to nothing also!
it is terrifing! i had to call my mom and just cry and tell her after brandon called and told me. i'm glad taxes finally got here. that is about 6K that will help us these next few weeks but we cant do this for long. i am so ready for the union to call him and say we are ready for you to come work. we have a position open and need you asap! however they are having issues with their workers that over look the the apprentaces... they cant pee clean... stupid guys. anyway once they get guys that can stay clean then they will get the new workers in and working....
then i started to freak out that we may not be able to put 2K away for moving this fall which breaks my heart all over! i am so ready to move into a house with a yard and more room. i want to get out of this apt and into a place where i dont have to listen to the neighbors music all day, or have to watch where i walk outside because there are people that cant clean up after their pets. a house with a decent sized kitchen that has storage and counter space so i can bake! i am so ready to cry all over again.

the start of feb
today braden is 11 months old! i cant believe how time is just flying by! we ran some errands today and bray got to ride in the big boy carseat! first time and he did awesome! no fussing and he talked to us quite a bit. hes starting to get another tooth! that will make it his 5th!
as life goes we are still waiting for brandon to hear back o nteh union job. Val (my kinda bro in law) works for the union and was told that brandon is on the list and will get the job they are just waiting for an opening. they told him that is could be anywhere from 2 weeks to the 1st of april. 2 weeks has already passed. the union has a list of workers that need to be put back to work the list was 22. my sister told me that about 6-8 were getting ready to go back to work, 4 quit and they were going to fill those jobs and this week they were getting a new job and going to put the others to work. so hopefully sometime super soon they will call and tell brandon he has a job and needs to start classes! my fingers are still crossed that it is sometime this month.
jiffy lube is not a concent place right now. brandons new manager is dumb and her boss is just plain stuid... sorry but he doesnt know anything and needs to get fired. brandon is no longer excited about his job and i dont blame him. this chick goes in changes everything and gets all over brandon's case about being friends with his coworkers. brandon has been having a rough time since his buddy chris left. chris was called back to the army just shy of his waiting period. he will be headed over to iraq in the next few weeks. chris's fiancee is still working at jiffy lube and brandon tends to give her a hard time and they joke around quite a bit and that isnt fair or something. hes looking forward to the day he can call her boss and tell him to f** off and turn in his key.
i am excited tho because we should have our taxes back this friday which means i get to go shopping! mostly for food and braden's birthday but i'll take what i can get. i dont spend much time out in the real world anymore, i just dont have reasons to go out most days when it is chilly. plus with braden in his carrier is was hard to get from one place to another in my lil 2 door car. however with him in the big boy seat we will be able to get more things done.
this fall we will be looking for a house to rent. brandon talk to the office today and we are in out lease till nov. which i'm still pissed because we were screwed out of one month. on our old lease. we shouldnt have had to resign till dec but they made us resign in nov. which means our new lease started in dec instead of jan, like it was supposed to.... anyway... hopefully we can put some tax refund in to a saving account and leave it be till then. that way we have money for rent and all the other fees... brandon and i were talking about that and it looks like we will be staying in colorado next holiday season instead of going and spending a week in cali with his fam. which makes me excited cuz then we can have thanksgiving with libby and her mommy again! one of my fave traditions started when i was in high school. 8 years i had only missed on and that was when i was in hawaii and there wasnt anyway i could afford to go home then. it was something i looked forward too and was dissappointed last year when we went to cali. it was great seeing everyone but it just was not the same. libbys mom makes the best turkey dinner and i am not afraid to tell anyone that!
alright i think that is all for now before i go off onto another thought that wont make any sense. thanks for reading.
