We ALMOST have everything moved to the new place! lol Now we just have to unpack and get everything straightened up. There's so much to do but the place is looking great and it already feels like home. I think we've adjusted well, even Tricity. Now our old home is considered 'grandma's house'. I think I'm doing alright, considering this is a big change for me as well, having always lived with my Mom. It's so much fun taking care of my family though, cooking dinner, decorating how I want to. The holidays are going to be a blast!
I've been trying to upload more pics and get some stuff done here on the computer, too, now that I don't have wedding crafts to get done... and I can't really do my crafts for my store until I get the supplies and stuff unpacked.
I can't believe Tricity's birthday is coming up so fast! We can't afford a party for her this year, but we'll probably still go out and celebrate. At least she has friends with birthday parties that she can go to... Next year should be a lot better for us. Just like with Mayfest, she could only go on four rides, but next year we'll get her a bracelet and then she can ride all she wants all evening long.
When I get things set up and cleaned up, I'll post pictures of the new place, and I'll try to get more photos up. It's just hard to find the time to do anything with all that has been going on.

Geocities is Shutting Down?!
Geocities is shutting down?! I'm TOTALLY bummed! Anyone else have websites there that are going to be affected by this? Man, this sucks! I was so proud of my websites, too. Here's a screenshot from my main (and by main, I mean more popular) page: FOF: Fans of Figwit
Later notes on December of 2018 about this blog entry: Little did we know Figwit was considered a meme back then! Only meme wasn't really a word anybody used. And geocities may have wiped out their webpage services, but as of this date, you can actually find the old page here:
http://www.geocities.ws/figwit_x/
Sadly, I have not yet found or recovered any of my other webpages though...

We're Going Through Changes
Well life is kind of... bad... for the moment. A lot of crappity-crap stuff has been happening, and every time I think things might start looking up, they only get worse. One can only keep hope for so long because hope is diminished, you know. Let's just hope this bad streak is near the end before depression sinks in...
Everything happens for a reason, but it seems like it's usually the bad things that happen in order for good things to happen. Things going on with my mom, my brother, my job, money, everything.
My mom's health isn't the best. It's hard for her to get well and stay that way. I worry that she may have something seriously wrong with her, and that's on my mind a lot. What if it's cancer? It's bad enough that something has to be wrong, but if it's that? I don't know what we would do...
My brother has been in trouble. But more than that, he's been drifting away from the family. Sure we all still live together, but he's not as close to us any more. He's always stuck up his girlfriend's ass, and she's at our house ALL of the TIME! It would be one thing if she just lived there and paid some money to stay with us like my boyfriend does, but she lives there, eats, sleeps, uses resources, and doesn't pay a single cent. She's a freeloader... Of course this causes more problems between my brother and us, and he feels like we're rejecting him because of his girlfriend, and that probably makes him feel like he's being pushed away, but it's not like that. We just don't see it as being fair, but he's a stubborn ass who can't SEE that.
As for my job, I lost it. I was making $9.00 an hour at the factory, and they terminated my employment because I had pictures of my family and stuff on the computer. I was not TOLD I couldn't have these pictures on the computer, and I assumed it was alright because everybody else had personal pictures on the computers, and one guy's files even had porn! The only warning I got at work was a popup that came up and said that we couldn't view anything with porn, violence, or weapons. Nothing about having pictures on the computer. The whole time my supervisors came into the office, they never said a single word about my baby's pictures being up on my screen as my wallpaper. Now they're trying to hassle me because I filed for unemployment and they're trying to appeal it. It's bad enough we're scraping by on the skin of our teeth, but then I lost my job and now they're trying to screw me over like that? Things are just so rough...
At least I got a different job now. A better job, but for MUCH less pay. I'm working the front desk at one of the hotels here in town, and it's only $6.50 an hour for four days a week, but it's a great job so far. Let's just hope this job stays good...
I keep buying powerball tickets, thinking that maybe I'll hit it big and suddenly have all my problems taken care of, but even that's looking dreadful. Let's face it... People like me don't win lotteries...
So that's the news for now. The baby is good. She's had a fever, but her 3rd tooth cut through. She quit minding me when I was trying to teach her 'no', and she would rather have grandma than me, but at least she's mine, and that's what matters most. She's my light. She's so funny and crazy. And SO SMART! Adam is fine. We argue about a lot of things, but it's common stuff for a couple to argue about. He still wants to marry me, so there's that... lol
Catch you later.

What if it's cancer? It's bad enough that SOMETHING has to be wrong with it, but if it's THAT? I don't know what we would do... I'm crushed... And I feel so bad for her!
My brother has been in trouble. But more than that, he's been drifting away from the family. Sure we all still live together, but he's not as close to us any more.

As for my job, I lost it. I was making $9.00 an hour at the factory (TG Missouri), and they terminated my employment because I had pictures of my family and stuff on the computer. I was not TOLD I couldn't have these pictures on the computer, and I assumed it was alright because everybody else had THEIR personal pictures on the computers, and one guy's files even had porn! How awful is that? The only warning I got at work was a popup that came up and said that we couldn't view anything with porn, violence, or weapons. NOTHING about having pictures on the computer. The whole time my supervisors came into the office, they never said a single word about my baby's pictures being up on my screen as my desktop image. Now they're trying to hassle me because I filed for unemployment and they're trying to appeal it.
AND - when I was terminated, I wasn't even working in this position anymore! I was working in a completely different building (I was in the warehouse before, checking in and out boxes that left the building, and now I WAS working in building 2, packing the airbags), but this is what they TOLD me was the excuse for firing me. We all know the REAL reason was because I was asked how I liked the job so far, and I said it made my wrists hurt, trying to squeeze the airbags into the cases, and they didn't want any kind of medical issues to come up against them because of it (like worker's comp, or some kind of 'I got carpal tunnel from working at your factory, and you won't offer me insurance!' kind of problem), so they fired me under some lame excuse.
It's bad enough we're scraping by on the skin of our teeth, but then I lost my job and now they're trying to screw me over like that? Things are just so rough... It'll be okay, though. Everything happens for a reason. That job WAS too hard, and I know I'm just upset because they pay was so good! lol
At least I got a different job now. A better job, but for MUCH less pay. I work at the Best Western hotel in Perryville, working the front desk at night, and it's only $6.50 an hour for four days a week, but it's a great job so far. Let's just hope this job STAYS good... I know one of the girls, at least! Her name is Ashley, and she's pretty awesome. I worked with her before at Walmart, but I didn't know her that well back then. Just through a mutual friend. Even then, though, she always cracked me up and had me laughing. It's good to work with people you like! :-D
I keep buying Powerball tickets, thinking that maybe I'll hit it big and suddenly have all my problems taken care of, but even that's looking dreadful. Let's face it... People like me don't win lotteries... I have it all planned out, if I ever did, though! One day, I'll share my ideas! :-D
So that's the news for now. The baby is good. She's had a fever, but her 3rd tooth cut through. She quit minding me when I was trying to teach her 'no', and she would rather have grandma than me (or "Na-na, as she calls her), but at least she's mine, and that's what matters most. She's my light, and she's what keeps a smile on my face. She's so funny and crazy. And SO SMART! Adam is fine. We argue about a lot of things, but it's common stuff for a couple to argue about.

Just Another Day
Here's hoping I remember to watch the Tony Awards tomorrow night! I don't believe I've really had the chance to watch them before. I'm usually either working, sleeping, or I forget about them until it's too late.
I've started reading Tommy's Tale, a novel by Alan Cumming. *drool* It's pretty interesting so far. Of course, with him being an Aquarius, there's no doubt that I'm going to greatly admire his creative works. His mind is tasty. I would suggest anyone pick it up and read it some time, but be advised that it's a very open book, and right off the bat, you read that drugs, bisexual relationships and 'rimming' are going to be present issues in the book. If you're against such things, I doubt it's for you. For me? It's just right ;-) heh heh...
I bought some facial masque stuff yesterday. The kind that you peel off once it dries. I've always wanted to try using that. And I have a facial kit, too, with a little gadget that spins around and exfoliates your skin. It comes with different attachments that lets you scrub your face, massage your face, and buffen your face. I plan on taking a nice hot bath with lots of smell-good stuff, use the gadget thingy, put my masque on, and try to de-stress and feel better about myself. It's pamper time. Either that, or I'll just play Sims all night. *shrug* I could wait for the pamper stuff until tomorrow, when I re-dye my hair.
Anyhow, that's all I can put for now. *yawn* I felt sick all day. Mentally content, but I've had headaches, stomach aches, and just felt all *blah* today. I watched Spy Kids 2. Saw a cameo made by Alan as Floop. *big teethy grin* Makes me watch to watch Spy Kids 1 all over again. And then, I still haven't seen Josie and the Pussycats... He's in that, too... Me and my crazy obsessions.

I'm Feeling Very Pregnant
I felt sick today. I haven't really been feeling bad with this pregnancy. I don't know if it's from work, from breathing in the plastic fumes, or if it's a pregnancy thing, but I'm assuming I should blame it on the pregnancy lol
I had to take a tylenol because if you didn't know this, ibuprofen isn't supposed to be taken by pregnant women. It causes stomach bleeding and ulcers. So... I'm assuming tylenol doesn't??? Anyway, besides feeling crummy, the night was decent. I got home and my Mom made me dinner. Taking care of her baby and her grandbaby ♥

Help Comes to Those Who Need It
I liked my job a little better today. Last week was a struggle, but this time I had the day shift leader tech training me, and he was a HUGE help! I was able to do most of my own work, and I feel proud. It's easier to follow instructs and know what to do when the person training you actually speaks like they're supposed to. I'm drained... but proud :-) Life knew I was having trouble, and they sent a little help my way. Maybe there is still hope for this job?
When I got home, I stayed up until 4:00 AM to wake Adam up for work. While I waited for 4 AM to roll around, I made a baby registry at Target, but I only got halfway done. Once again, I know I'm going overboard, but there's so much to choose from, and I'm not picky. No one will probably buy anything on the registry anyway, but just in case, it's there for them to take a look. It's probably a good thing people don't actually go out and buy this stuff, or the baby would be so spoiled! LOL

Marriage Troubles
Today, we went over to Adam's friend Buddy and his wife Julie's house. It was their son Gabriel's 2nd birthday. Buddy's family came over and they cooked a nice dinner. The conversation turned awkward though as his father Larry started joking inappropriately about women's personal parts and the sounds they can make. This caused Buddy's mom Kandy to get really embarrassed and upset, and they had words. Buddy and Adam told me they get into big fights like this... You sometimes hear older couples on movies and TV shows go back and forth with insults, but this got pretty rough. I never grew up with a dad, so I don't know - are relationships supposed to be like this? I'd hope not... Anyway, we left at 7:00 so I could get home and not miss watching Charmed this week.

I Started a Baby Gift Registry
Today we went swimming at the Perry Park Center. I really didn't want to go because Adam's friend Amy was going to be there, but I told my friend Mary that I would be there. However, just as my luck goes, Mary wasn't able to make it. Afterwards, we went shopping at WalMart, and I created a baby gift registry! But I'm pretty sure I went overboard LOL There are just SO MANY adorable things I want to get for the little peanut! We also went ahead and bought a few things. I got a baby book to put all of these great memories in! When we got home, Adam ordered pizza. I didn't think this day was going to go so well, but I think it ended nicely!
Those Magical Pregnancy Moments
We had another doctor's appointment today, and it went well. Such a beautiful baby! We had an ultrasound done today, and we could see the baby's feet wiggle, and the hand was flexing. It seemed like it was so mellow! Must be a satisfied baby :-)
The only downside was that we couldn't tell what it's gender was. I think it had the umbilical cord between it's legs? So we couldn't get a good look. But to think... this little miracle is living and growing within me. It's such an emotional journey, and such a magical moment. I'm in love with this baby already!
