Life is a highway....

Yeah, so things come and go in my life, nothing seems to be permanent. Funny thing, I hate rollercoasters but that is my life...ups, downs, twists, turns, upside down, right side up, always in motion, never stopping. That being said, here is whats been happening...

When we moved here to this farm in Colorado, we knew it was a mistake. Dry, desolate, and dead. Nothing grows here, and keeping animals around is near impossible. So, we were immediately looking for another job. We started here in Sept, and now its March. It got so bad here, that I finally said "Ok, thats it, I'm rejoining the military!" So I marched my ass over to Pueblo and talked to a recruiter. We got paperwork started for the Army, since the Air Force said I was too old, lol. This process started about a month ago. Just when I thought I'd be allowed in, they come along and say "Nope, you were in the AF too long, new rules say NO" *sigh* So, I wrote a letter to the state Senator, and he sent a letter to the Army Liason at the Pentagon. That was about 3 weeks ago and still nothing. I wrote to Obama, and to Oprah! Still, nothing. Dammit.

In the meantime, we contacted the old company we worked for that had us giving hearing tests around the country. We talked to them last week and they are hiring us back. We start next month in the middle southeast, then in June will probably move to the east coast. Things are supposed to be different, and by that I mean, I will be trying to have a better attitude, and DH will be trying to give me space. I layed down the law, stating I didn't need him up my ass all the time, asking who I was texting or talking to on the damn phone. I also said I was going to be in charge of part of the money. I will be in charge of our salary checks. This, hopefully, will help us save. If nothing else I'll be able to save MY money.

And on top of all of that, I was able to aquire 2 new tattoos since being here. One on my foot, and one on my left thigh. The foot has healed, the thigh is only 2 days old. Also, I've been working out. I've lost a few pounds, and inches, but up here in this high altitude I just can't breath, so its hard. Hopefully I can do better at the lower elevation.

So there ya have it....I'm still holding out hope the Army will call, if they do, I'm on it!!!
