Just A Horrible Day

Honestly, today has been a horrible day. When I woke up, I should have only guessed it would be. My throat was dry and swollen from allergies, and it took a few hours until I could even talk straight. Once my voice decided it would revive from the dead, Matt wanted me to go with him to the DMV. Before we leave I ask, "Do you have you passport, Birth Certificate, Social Security card and proof of residency?" He then precedes to comment over me with "My military ID covers all that!" Fine, ok cool, that's nice and handy. Well when we get there, we were informed that this wasn't the case, and Matt actually needed a passport or a birth certificate. So, we head on home only to find out that the passport has been misplaced and we are unable to locate it. (the birth certificate is still in Colorado we believe) In the process of looking for it, our house was turned inside out. Papers are everywhere, and boxes are thrown across the halls, clothes have been thrown around. After I had just finished cleaning the house, after cleaning the house!!! This will be the third time I will have cleaned up the house, because my husband has trashed it. Of course, he does say he will clean it up... but here we are, mess still in our home, and he is busy playing that stupid game on the Xbox. I have such a headache from all of it. It feels like the house can't be clean for a full 24 hours. It's just tiresome. We have everything packed up tomorrow, and I know it may sound silly, but I want to have the house it the cleanest condition for the movers. I believe it will make their lives easier, and I will feel much better about everything. Of course, we also have to get everything we want in the car separated from everything else that will be going into the truck, and I am sure I will be the only one doing that as well. Why is it, I have to do everything, while he sits on his ass and plays video games? Then the stupid question around 5 o'clock comes out of his mouth "What's for dinner?" I don't know.... why don't you fix something! Earn your freaking keep around here. (But he brings in the money Stacey... he is earning his keep. You earn yours by cleaning and cooking) Bullshit! I will clean and cook, but I will not clean up after him and cook for him. Those are two entirely separate things! If you don't get that, jump off a fucking bridge cause your the moron that causes these issues in a household. Anyway... I don't mean to rant, but being so close to us leaving to get to New York, and I feel I am doing everything in my power to have things go smoothly, and he comes right behind me and messes it all up! It's just, frustrating! Of course if I point this out to him, he will somehow make me feel horrible about myself, and make me feel guilty. Oh well, I better start cleaning and packing up everything we need, so I can make dinner. I will update later.

It Never Crossed My Mind

It has been a while since I have wrote anything on my blogger. Once Matt graduated from Power School, he was home much more. It's very nice having him here more often then not. I am able to talk with someone, that will talk back! It has been a nice change of pace. Also, it kept me very busy, so the thought of just sitting down and writing out my thoughts never crossed my mind.

Let's see, what all has been happening since I last updated? We adopted a kitten! She was a stray, wondering outside of the big Nex (Navy Exchange) and I had been watching her for a week or so. The more time that went on, the smaller she got; rumors were spread that her mother had been picked up, and the kittens weren't old enough to hunt on their own. So, after she was caught, we brought her to our place, and here she stayed. She is a ball full of energy, but I have grown very attached to her. She is now about 5 months old. So that must mean we had her at 4 - 6 weeks old. She just went through surgery to be spayed, and declawed. I am sure this will make my other cat, Maximus, very happy when they play. She had to stay over night, so we will be able to pick her up this afternoon! I am can't wait to bring her home and have her in my arms again. (Told you I have grown attached!)

Matt and I have also turned the lovely number, 21! We have been having a lot of fun, going to bars and ordering drinks. He isn't much of a beer drinker, but I have grown to love beer. There is this great sports bar we go to. They have the best pizza I have ever tasted, for a great price. Every Monday, they do Trivia! So Matt and a few of his buddies, as well as myself, go out and play each Monday. We usually get 2nd or 3rd place. More than just winning it's a great time, we are out of the house and with friends! I will be sad to leave that place...

The biggest and most recent news, is Matt got new orders. We are being transferred to New York for his last phase of training. We are moving this Friday. Yes, 3 days from now! It's been very stressful, and scary. Don't get me wrong, it's exciting. Yet, at the same time, it's all very fast. We don't have a place to move into once we get up there. There is a place we have been looking at, and talking to the landlord of, and there seems to me so many issues with trying to do everything over the internet, so hopefully they will wait a week for us to get up there, look at the property, and sign the lease. I will be sharing my thoughts throughout the entire trip, so we will see how it goes. But with moving, there is a ton of work!

Yesterday we had our first inspection. A man came through to look for any major damages. He said everything looked great, just clean out the appliances once everything has been moved out. On Wednesday, the movers come. They will pack everything up in boxes. So, today, we have to get everything we want in the car. (at least 300 pounds worth, to get re-inbursed by the Navy) Then on Thursday, the movers come back, and take everything and load it into the truck. Last, on Friday, the final inspection. Then we are on the road and off to New York!

I have always wanted to live in New York. It's a really neat state. But I always wanted to live in New York City, and that is not where we will be. We are up-state New York in Saratoga Springs. So almost as north as you can get, which to me, only means one thing. COLD! And we are moving there in the winter! Ugh, not fun! But, at least I wont have to deal with the South Carolina summer again. That was brutal!! And it was a mild summer according to the locals! So at least I wont be here for that!

Anyway, that's basically what has been going on. A lot! But only because I haven't updated in a while. So I will try to update more often. It's fun to go back through and read my blogs. So I hope to keep up with it more often and tell everything as it happens, so I get more of a feeling of what I felt at the time. So until next time...
