Last Night

I was putting something in the oven for dinner, and Derek looks at me and says.."Where's Ben?"
(Yep, even he knows who cooks in my house *laugh*)

I said, "He had to run to the store."

Outta nowhere, the kid goes.."I guess he'll be living with us soon."

I said..."yeah, probably. Why? Is that ok?"
(Here is where I am a BAD mother, I didn't even think about it affecting Derek or what he thought..ACK)

"Yeah, that's ok."

"Do you like him? Is he nice to you?"

"Yeah." (It's his favorite word, that and fine...how are you doing? Fine)

"Well then, I can't think of a better person to live with. Someone who is nice to me and nice to you."

"Yeah."

OK, typing this out, the kid sounds less than enthusiastic, but I swear he seemed pretty happy about it.

He might as well live with us now, anyway. =)

While I appreciate your worrying about my soul, I'm screwed already honey.

I have a 7 year old, I'm almost 25, I've never been married, I take the pill, and I don't even know how often I have premarital sex.

Thanks for the thought though.

Seems that your soul is fine.

I think most people think that. It's all about Section 8 and their guidelines though.

I like getting help, but it's wierd living with other people's rules. And since I make enough to not get food stamps, Section 8 and OHP are all that's left. Maybe someday I'll make enough to not need their help either. =)

Yeah, for awhile that's how it was when I was living with Jake. Derek was covered, but not us.

Now Derek is covered through OHP and I get covered through work and they reimburse me for 70%. I guess it's cheaper than just putting me on OHP too.

Anonymous no more?

I might have to stop the anonymous comments. Apparently the only people who leave them are going to form snap judgements of me based on how I look, and since I can't go and read their blog or anything, it really doesn't seem far, since I can't even try to read their stuff and see if they are reasonable people. I have to assume that they are jackasses. What follows is the wonderful comment I read right before I left work yesterday and my response. I should have been the bigger person (HAHAHA!) and not said anything cause of course they replied again.

Today is the day, we break free.

Today I am 26 and 50 weeks and one day old. Which means in two weeks it will be my birthday. That's really what I was getting at, LOL. You know how people on TV are always having their birthdays forgotten? Not me, I inform people on an almost daily basis that it will be my birthday soon. There is no way they could forget. I look at birthdays like a special time for me. And I am all about me. Obviously. I hope the weather is like today on my birthday. I like rain in spurts. I like how fresh everything smells and I really hate it when it's too hot. I'm not sure how I was a summer baby, what with this hatred of heat. I work early that morning to get out of here early. Maybe go home and put some make up on and be lazy about getting ready. In any case, I will make it a good day. (I'm slightly embarrassed by this and NO ONE WILL MENTION IT EVER AGAIN, just so you know, but it's my blog and I feel the need to share.) Last night I spent entirely too much time checking out...
