As I'm sure you all can tell, I like The Godfather. It's more then just "like", it is my favorite book & I encourage you all to read it. I never thought I would be interested in it but when I started reading the first few pages, I was hooked. Although the movie is good, the book has so much more that the movies left out, as is usually the case.
Ahh, I love coffee. There's nothing more comforting to me then having a nice hot cup of coffee early in the morning, I'm going to miss it. Oh yeah! For those of you who don't know, I'm quitting smoking. My official quit date is March 12th. I have "tried" to quit before with no success, but this time I'm not going to "try", I'm going to do it. So if I post some rants around that time, forgive me, it'll be the nicotine fits talking.
So another day, another dollar. Well....not for me. Haha. Sometimes I feel guilty about not working but then again, that's what Dave & I wanted. When I was a few months pregnant we both agreed that I should stay at home with Bella so we wouldn't have to put her in daycare. And up until about a month ago, I was receiving unemployment. $300 a week so that more then covered my bills. We're doing okay but it always seems like so many things come up at once. Take the beginning of March, for example. Around the 1st is when the mortgage is due & when Dave pays his required child support,. My car payment is due on the 7th. These are things that are due every month, okay no problem. But then we found out I need rear tires on my car, & they're probably about $160 each, mas o menos. My registration is also due on my car on the 10th. $275. WHAT?! Yepp, that's right. It's expensive to have a car as bitchin' as mine. I also have a dentist appointment on the 16th & we have no dental insurance so for a routine cleaning it's over $100 & Dave's daughter's birthday is also in the beginning of March. It's all this extra shit that really gets us.
Our relationship is pretty good right now. We're hardly ever fighting & we're just enjoying being with each other, & Isabella. We don't go out on many dates but we can always go out to a movie or dinner if we choose to, my mom loves watching Bella.
Ah & yesterday Bella Rouge learned how to get down the stairs! She's been able to crawl up the stairs for a while now but she never wanted to come near the stairs when we're upstairs, she'd get all scared, but yesterday she just....did it. She's doing so many things these days. My favorite thing she started doing recently is holding hands.....sort of. Haha. When I tell her, "Are you ready to go take a bath" or "Let's take a nap" she'll start walking to the stairs but I'll stay by the couch & say "Take me with you" while holding my hand out. She will then run back to me, grab my finger in her hand, & pull me along with her. She'll also do this if we're outside & I let her walk around. I LOVE IT!!! So does Dave. When he first saw her doing this he immediately jumped up & said, "I wanna do it!" Haha. He loves his little girl. I love watching them together.
We paid off my bill for my high school diploma so it should be coming any day now. I DID IT! I'm very proud of myself & I know my dad would be too. My next step? I'm going to start taking community college classes until I get my associates degree, then transfer my credits over to a university & take two years there so I can get my BA. (Cuts down on the cost) Once I get my BA, I will become a teacher which, as everyone knows, is what I've wanted to do for a long time. I will not be satisfied at any job I have unless it's teaching. Of course this isn't going to happen soon, it's a long term thing, but it will happen. I'm actually a very intelligent person. When I was actually at school, I did very well, it's just that I was never there. I hated going, I hated waking up so damn early.
Charlie Sheen is an idiot, by the way. Sorry, I know it's off topic but as I'm writing all this I'm watching the today show & they just had an interview with him. Poor guy. He's so wrapped up in his addiction & denial he's never going to have any recovery unless he gives in & realizes he's powerless. Oh well.
I'd like to go to Seattle this summer with Bella, there's family that hasn't been able to see her in a while & I know that once you bond with this little girl, any time spent away from her is heartbreaking. I remember how hard it was for me to leave her when I went up there in January to visit my dad, & then back up there again for his funeral. Plus I hate Las Vegas in the summer, & it would be nice to spend time with family. So we'll see how that goes. Something might deter me from being able to go though, a few of you know what I'm talking about but I don't want to tell EVERYONE because it might jinx it. Let's just say it's something I've wanted since I was 13 years old. ;)
Anywho, I need more coffee & then I need to get myself & Bella ready for the day ahead. I encourage you all to start your own blog. I'll follow you. I'd love to read up on your lives.
