Chris' accident: Chris was in an accident the other day (as you can tell from the previous post). He was getting off the highway and this chick was turning and so he started to go, she just stops for no reason so he taps her bumper. No damage to either vehicle. She turns it in to his insurance company anyway. Anything over 15 miles an hour Chris' airbags deploy, nothing. She's claiming damage to her car and medical. Yeah I'll give that cunt some medical damage if she wants. Bitch. If she knew that Chris' defends her freedom to try and scam people and act like a fucking idiot! Pisses me off.
Kitchen sink: The kitchen sink has some hella fucking clog, we've taken apart the pipes, snaked it, put in Thrift which is this acid shit, for the past 2 days. We've used every dirty dish, now we're down to paper plates and microwave dinners. Which in turn brings us to the:
Chemical burns: While Chris and I were using the Thrift it burned the shit out of him and I. I couldn't type or the past few days it burned the skin off the bottoms of my fingers, it obliterated the tops of my hands and my left arm. It got Chris on the arms and his face is just burned to all hell. We've called the landlord to get a plumber. Even Lorin...a plumber, electrician, and all around general contractor and appliance installer for the past I dunno 30-35 years has no idea what to do next. Chris is at a loss, another general contractor and appliance installer for the past 23 years. It fucking sucks I need my GOD DAMN KITCHEN!
Burns: I have now burned my finger, same finger, twice, separate occasions, top and then bottom. I swear to God Chris and I are effing cursed. It's probably that psycho wench Jen using VooDoo or something.
The kids: So Ethan tells my mom that we have to stay here forever and can't ever leave...as Chris is shuffling us out the fucking door so they can spend the night. STILL won't even broach the subject of getting a house for all of us. Won't even TALK about the idea of subletting this place. Pisses me off.
Big: Several unanswered Yahoo messages and a text message later finally told me 'fine, don't talk to me, have a nice life.' Here's all I have to say to you:



Thoughts...

night
Chris said something last night that still has my mind running in circles. When I asked what he was processing had anything to do with us he said no that what he was dealing with was him and nothing that could be dealt with right away. So my mind automatically goes to, he wants us to move out. He's not serious about letting fate decide on a house. About calling on 2 and 4+ bedrooms and the first to say yes is where we'll go. So... I'm on the hunt today for 2 or 3 bedrooms for just my mom, Ryder and I. I think...if not for the kids...and how much I have fallen in love with them...that I might have already walked away. He's different, and we're different, and no amount of explaining that he's just got a lot going on, and a lot to think about, and that as long as I don't cheat he's not going anywhere will change the fact it's different. I was happy with Chris, and I have fallen in love with him, and there is nothing more that I want still than to marry him, but sometimes you just have to face the truth. No matter how much we don't want another failed relationship, no matter how much we don't want to hurt, sometimes love just isn't enough. I know...you all are thinking...see we told you. We told you it was going too fast, that you didn't know one another, and we don't blame you for walking away, or it not working. To that I say fuck you. I put up with so much shit, and put my neck on the line so many times, and forgave and forgot so much with Big for 10 months. And where did that get me? No where. He was in Idaho over the weekend, that's where it got me. Had we been together or not, had Chris not been in the picture, and it was just Big and I, I can guarantee he would have been there anyway. That's where the last 11 months got me. So I took a risk, a chance, to finally be happy, and have someone feel about me, the way I feel about them...maybe I was wrong again.
When we were at the base the other day with his friend Larry, he and I were talking. Chris doesn't know what about we kept shushing him away. He gave me the real friend speech, that I better not hurt him. That Chris thinks I'm the best thing since sliced bread, that he was skeptical at first, but seeing and talking to me he sees now why Chris did what he did to scoop me up. That was so nice to hear, Larry has no idea how nice that was to hear. On the way down Chris told me Lorin thinks I need to move out, his landlord Bob called and told Chris with all those people living there you're going to do right and take care of me, right? I'm sorry what?! This place is clean, the yard is kept up, the house is always decorated nicely for the holidays. The jeep is where no one can see it barely. I'm just...
His mom hugged me after Thanksgiving dinner, and thanked me for the best meal she's had in a while. I knew it would take a while for his family to warm up to me, so I'm glad it's getting there. I think Resa's good with us, his brothers and other sister...not so much. She was coridal if not fridged at Paul's Baptism. Paul's wife was nice, Paul said nothing...
I dunno...Beriet seems...indifferent. I thought her and I would have hit it off the easiest..Jocelyn is like my shadow. She has to always have her arms around me. Ethan...was the first to call me mom..to Melissa...she was not happy. Ethan seems to love my mom, he talks and talks and talks to her.
We're a family...and I love our family...I wish Axell was more involved in it. I know him changing his last name really hurt Chris, so I do get that things are going on...but they're just...different...and I hate it.

Wedding

  • Oct. 21st, 2008 at 12:03 PM
sexy
So Chris and I narrowed down that we're going to do the wedding thing right. Friends, family, the kids, whole nine.
I still think we need to use the Vegas time share and just shotgun it and be man and wife, because I can not wait to call that man my husband. Then we can plan the big one.
Just a small wedding him and I and Elvis, just us knowing we're married.
His 3rd ex-wife Melissa, thinks I'm cute, and is apparently jealous as hell that I'm younger than her, and much younger than Chris. She's even more bent about the fact Chris and I are going to have more children.
The house hunt is slow but steady, ever damn one I find is a fucking scam on craigslist. Freaking ridiculous.
Beriet is still on the hunt for a halloween costume, poor girl. They've been hunting for 4 days now at about 5 or 6 stores a night.
I can not WAIT to finally be there and be with my family.

Where to begin. . .

  • Oct. 9th, 2008 at 12:58 PM
night
It seems every time I come on here to update, something happens and it's just not worth typing a million times because the story is always different.

Ryder - He's gaining beautifully, up to almost 8 1/2 lbs as of last week. He tried to stand in the bathtub, it's his new game. Hold him in a squat and he'll push down and stand up. He just turned 6 weeks, he's already mastering crawling basics, rolling over like a pro, and now standing? What's next walking and talking by 2 months? We finally went and got the DNA testing done yesterday. Maybe now I can finally be divorced. Take David in and start getting the support I need. I'm almost 2 months behind getting it now. Which now come to find out won't be until the 14th of November that we go to court again! I am FURIOUS! That's 3 months tied up with this shit with Jason, 3 months I go without support, and god knows HOW long to establish David. The test was done at the Winnebago County Courthouse in Oshkosh, the depths of hell in the ghetto. The line was 40 people long I kid you not. this is just the beginning, the entrance that far door all the way to the back, the line the same behind me. This is coming out of the elevator:



Utah - It seems Big's company may want to keep in Vegas. And as they should, he's amazing at his job. It's nice to finally see him getting recognized for it. We decided to pass on Gemini Meadows last night, the guy was shady as hell. So now we're looking (just in case) at Southern View (There's a virtual tour at the bottom of the page)and there's quite a few available. Phew! I feel bad, he said something today, I'm not quite sure what it was, but I responded are you getting anxious you'll find a place, and he replied I have one but it won't accommodate you. I told him to take the place if he wanted, that it's not his responsibility to accommodate me. He said we'll just see what happens in the next coming days. Katie brought up a good point, I've helped him throughout this whole process and through a lot. It's his turn, lol. Although I know he has helped me WAY more than I have ever helped him, and more than he will ever know, I'm going to keep repeating this to myself. I have been a part of every single aspect of this whole thing. The phone calls, the terms, the emails, the letters, the interview in Vegas, the house. I want to be there to see this through. I want to be there to see him come home from work, work he's finally being appreciated for, with dinner on the table, and know that I helped him see this through from start to finish. Then I'll fling spaghetti at him until we're in an all out food fight lol. I hope Southern View works out, it's gorgeous, and I think we'd have so much fun living together. We're up all damn night anyway. It'll be nice to have our crazy, deep, funny, light-hearted, fighting, bitching, or straight sexual conversations sitting on the couch looking at one another. It'll be nice to actually have my friend there and in the flesh.




Cancer/Sickness/Whatever - I went in to talk to my regular Dr about it and the nurse asked what was wrong with my sinuses? She thought it was hilarious that they wrote I was in there for my sinuses. I'm down 36 lbs since the baby though, so that makes me happy. She did absolutely nothing, they scheduled me for a pre-op screening with a general surgeon for this morning at 8 am. Well I get a call from the hospital they're canceling my appointment and getting me in with a cardiology surgeon instead. Can we just get this thing started?

Past and Future - So ironically enough the person that started this descend away from Big. . .is back. The one person who was a good contender to keep me away, is still mia. Jon and I always continued to talk here and there, but the past 3 days it's been everyday, and pictures too like he used to. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, he knows about Big, and he knows I'm leaving.

On the other hand, I'm meeting a lot of people in Utah, and some I'm really starting to like. Seem like good people. I'm just really tired of being alone. Of going to bed alone, waking up alone. I miss companionship. I miss intimacy. I miss sex!!!!!! Like CRAZY! I'm just taking time to sort through it all, and I wish people understood that because hounding me is only pushing me away and pissing me off. It doesn't mean I don't love you any less, it doesn't mean I'm going anywhere, it means exactly what it says I mean. That I need time, and that I can't deal with your bullshit. To put it in crude terms. I'm being selfish right now, yes I know, but I have that right.

Book - I'm halfway through Chapter 2, or month 2 depending on how you look at it. I can't wait to get this story out there. It's one for the ages. Big and I...are an enigma. Those who have been there from day one still don't understand. He and I, don't even understand. We have been through so much. I simply can not wait to see his face.

You don't have the right...

Second Thoughts. . .

Chris


I smell retreat on the horizon. . . perhaps emotional detachment?

He's been short and distant, and I'm sure the move and leaving behind the kids is heart wrenching. . .

It's whatever at this point, I'm sick of this fucking game.

Want me or don't, stay or go, I spill out leaving the past behind and the only words spoken are apology accepted.

I'm thinking Vince had the right idea,live out my days raising his Alpacas.

Fuck this shit.

So to top all that off, Stephanie is not happy. I forgot how bad her looks can kill.

I also get a letter from my ex-landlord, a bill for $1718.55, for the most outrageous charges I have ever seen.

I need to get the fuck out of this place, I'm losing my mind. I can't breathe here anymore, I can't breathe right now.

I need help, I need help, God I need help. I just need to get there. I just need to get there.

come
So. . . Stephanie will be here in about an hour or so, and I have to tell her about Utah. She was excited when we first broached the subject months ago. She loved the idea of boarding there, of teaching Ryder. She hadn't met him then. Which it's been 3 weeks since she's seen him, but she's working doubles to make up for the time she took off to be with me in the hospital, and to pay for Rochelle's lifestyle she somehow thinks she's entitled to. This may be one of the hardest things I've done.

On the flipside, if I don't figure out money, there may not be a trip period. Here's what I have to work with.
3 paychecks - minimum $500 so we'll go off that - $1500
Payout of vacation time - 3 weeks - $750
2 checks - $548, with the possibility of extension on Oct. 4th. *keep your fingers crossed*
$2798
-$1850 - house
=$948
$1,000 for a truck - already in the hole.

$700+ for gas - seriously already in the hole, and that's if we either find someone to round robin driving so we only stop to let the dogs pee, and not stay in hotels, or sleep in the truck. Not a good idea with a baby.

Lest we forget I'm losing the jeep on Monday, which means I need to get my car running by then. Battery, fuel filter, new gas, and hope to god that does the trick. Which YAY cuts into the moving money even further.

It's the cheapest house I can find, if I didn't have to fork that out right now, I'd be solid. Just get there and figure it out when I'm there. If it's this house great, if not something else. Sadly there's no one to stay with down there, I'm ready to pull my fucking hair out.

If I didn't need a bed when I got there, and Ryder didn't have so much stuff, and I didn't need a place for the dogs, I'd just take the god damn car and take my chances. She loves road trips.

I've moved from New York to Florida, granted we left everything behind and flew with the clothes on our backs, and photo albums. I moved from Florida to Indiana, my dad was there Mr. Money Bags. From Indiana to Wisconsin, we made that trip back and forth every weekend, we moved in the Corsica and just slowly migrated everything in those trips. Then my dad brought everything that was left with him when he moved up here. I moved from Wisconsin to Ohio, on a single paycheck each from my mom and I. Granted we were both making a killing. I moved back on. . . Jason's credit card. All this god damn experience you'd think I could figure this out!!

Everyone keeps telling me wives ask for some kind of settlement in the divorce, maybe I should ask Jason for money. YEAAA right! It's taken almost 2 years to get a divorce when I asked for NOTHING! I can only imagine when I do.

Hey Jas, I need like $1850 so I can put security on a place in Utah, that's my divorce settlement okay? Hey if you wanna be generous make it a cool $5,000 so I don't have to freak out about no one in the house having a job, because as it turns out there are NONE in Cedar!

Fucking hell. I sure know how to screw myself don't I? First payment on the house goes out Friday. On a house I may NOT even be able to occupy.

This was not the plan, not even remotely close.

Just keep blasting:

Decisions, Decisions. . .

  • Sep. 9th, 2008 at 10:31 AM
think
After speaking with Andy last night, and him calling me baby on more than one occasion. . .and being completely PETRIFIED that he's in Texas all this week, with Hurricane Ike heading right for where he and Todd are,I'm so torn. He, Ryder, and I have a date when he gets back, he better be there :(

My 3 choices are this:

Wausau - Have a few good friends there, Trent, Ryan, and found a really cute house with a pick your plan lease option to buy (pics below). While Ryan is interested, and Trent's been there since Jason and I split, there's no 'boy drama' there. No memories of a life gone wrong, no wrong decisions made, but it's still in WI, and Wausau is not the booming town of Madison/Middleton, if staying in WI is my choice.



Middleton/Madison - Andy's there, business is good. If not for Andy I know bringing Ryder into the world would have been near impossible. I know for a fact I wouldn't be here right now, hearing him through Stephanie saying stay with me baby, stay with me baby, was the only thing I could hear, aside from Ryder, when I was literally slipping away. I knew I needed to be here for my son. I knew Andy needed me to be here for Ryder, and him too. It seems he and I are the only ones who can understand the pain. Of loving someone so much, it kills you, but you do it anyway. You set them free, you stand on your own two wobbly feet, and you try to make a life without them. You try to be there to support them, you smile through your tears. You comfort through your heart breaking. A pain so intense you can literally feel the insides on fire and shattering. You force yourself up in the day, you force yourself to sleep alone at night. You hang on to hope that one day, it will hurt just a little less. Just a little.

I'm sorry Andy, he's my Liz. You know that. Despite what you said. . .I know what I need to do. . .I can't. I'll never lose hope, just as you won't.

Cedar City - The more I think about this one. . .what I thought was true. . .he was there all weekend, called in sick yesterday and spent another day there. Part of me think he's throwing his entire life into her, because his entire life is about to change. However you can't deny when the man you are completely in love with tells you he's thought about giving it all up for her, yet the thought never crossed his mind to call in sick for a day and be with you. Or that she's thought about giving it all up for him, when you were already in the process. Especially when you've been talking all weekend to someone about renting this house on October 1st.

Good Luck Chuck

  • Sep. 7th, 2008 at 10:56 AM
think
I think. . .I'm chuck. The second someone starts talking to me, and showing interest they find their one. Here I thought I was just being replaced by the next best thing, and that people were just catalyst to something else. I think now . . . I'm the catalyst. And it suuuuuuucccccckkkksssss.

I've been thinking a lot about Cedar this weekend. Which I'm sure is what he wanted. Part of me thinks going in October would be just some big romantic notion that will just end up blowing up in my face. The idea now we're both starting over where we know no one, but we'll have each other, finally. The other side of the coin is, we were going to move in October anyway, possibly to Washington, so what's with just aiming the compass south a little bit?

He's right though it will be a great place to raise Ryder. And my need to get out of Appleton is greater than ever. It seems every step I take here is the wrong one. Even the steps I don't take. What kind of way to live is that? I question everything, every detail down to what I want to eat for dinner, and until I'm literally eating my insides do I make a decision.

Over that past few weeks everything I thought I knew, yet again, has been a lie. I thought that was over when David left. I thought feeling like this was gone. Yet here I sit even still playing the same songs again, doing nothing but crying. At least I still have the foresight to put Ryder first, when I see he's starting to wake up, I dry my eyes put on my biggest mommy smile and hold my son tight. When I'm placing him back down in his bassinet, I look for a moment longer, and down the tears come again.

I think this pain is worse than with David. I always knew we were nothing to him, that he was just. . .there. This hurts worse because of promises made that I would not be hurt, and I should know that. That he is not David, and I should know that. That he cares about Ryder and I, and I should know that. I guess in his defense. . .he never promised he wouldn't lie.
