Yep, its the day after xmas and I'm up this early  :) Yesterday was a little hecktic but fun.. didn't get any real "sleep" but still managed to get thru the day alright.
I made the big dinner ya know, with turkey, stuffing, green bean cassarole, real mashed potatoes and spiced gravey, dinner buns, cranberry sauce... even made 4 pies.. 2 pumpkin, 1 apple crumb, 1 regular apple. I think we're set for a while on food lol I hurt my back yesterday somehow too.. probably lifting that huge ass turkey lol
Anyway, my sweetie worked while I cooked and I got done about the time he got home which was great.. we made up a plate for his mom and then gathered up presents and went to her house. I got a hug as soon as I got in the door :)
She had such a pretty tree and gave me the coolest presents :) and she even got the kids presents... then back home for us to eat. I couldn't even eat 1/4 of what I put on my plate lol... I think my tummy's shrunk from not eating or something. Anyway.. I forced myself to eat some pie and regreted it afterwards cause I had the tummy ache from hell.
I managed to actually get a little sleep last night.. about 5 hours I think so thats good :)
Maybe I'll take a nap later if I can...
So..... How was your xmas?

I got to call Mike (on his answering machine) and be a semi bitch to him!
he's going to know real soon what a bitch I can be if he doesn't get his ass in gear..
he had FINALLY sent me mom's purse.. EMPTY... she had like $500-$600 in there for me plus her wallet and other stuff.. its all gone, he also sent a copy of the fucked up death certificate when I asked for two.. and he had called Rick and said something about a release of liablity for the car etc.. which is bullshit.. its going to be on my insurance so there is no need for it..
Also, he finally sent Rick a check.. but it was only for $1100 and he said in his letter he was keeping $1800 for himself... no mention of the other (let me add all he's stolen so far) $3047.00 thats missing (thats not including the $1100 or the $1800 he has). Stupid fuck.. what does he think, that we can't add?
Rick and I are definatly suing him after we get the car papers back... Oh yes.. I guess in mom's lawsuit she had when I was little there was a clause saying that when she died all her children get $2000 from the state.. but it could be months before I see that.. that will be going towards the burial of her ashes, since I'm the only one that will pay for it (Rick can't afford it and Mike is a low life scum so I can't expect him to pay anything towards it)
I also asked for the copy of the mom's will that he was supposed to get out to us.. I probably will never see it tho.. I mean, she died on Oct 11.. and here it is 2 months later.. and he JUST let go of some of the money so we could get the obit in the paper and services going.. fucking rediculious! My god, could you image what it would be like had she not been creamated.. they would have had to creamate her anyway cause of how long he's taking.. but of course when he steals from his dead mothers money that is supposed to be used for services can you really expect him to give a shit..
its a good thing I'm in KY and not california right now or I would be in jail for kicking his ass.. literally.
Once the papers are back for the transfer of the car we are gonna ask him what the fuck happened to alll the money and if its not fixed in 7 business days we go to court.
Not only will I sue his ass for all the stealing .. but also emotional damages cause I've had to call her friends and tell them I don't know when the services will be or when the obit will be in the paper cause Mike has all the money and won't let go of any of it..... now all her friends think me and Rick are scum cause of this.. but what the fuck can we do when Mike won't give up any money and we don't have the money to pay for this stuff..
Hopefully in a week or so I'll know exactly when the services are.. maybe sooner.. this has been such a fucking nightmare.. when I die.. I don't want Mike anywhere near my services or anything.. as a matter of fact I think in my will I will leave him one thing.. a penny with a note.. "Here you greedy bastard, you get one penny since all you would want from anyone is money.. this is what I think of you being my "brother" because you're nothing but low life scum you stupid mother fucker.. now that I'm dead I will be around to haunt your ass for what you did to mom's memory you stupid shit"

My brother Rick called 3 times this morning... I wasn't feeling good enuf to talk to him not to mention if I did Gale would be late for work since he drives her.. so I figured I would call him back later on today when I'm feeling a little better.
He leaves all this info on my answering machine like.....
1) Mike hasn't got the money to him yet (GRRRR)
2) He wants the car transfered into my name instead of Brandi's because of California laws concerning transfer of vehicles... there's sales tax, insurance (that Mike let lapse since mom's death), vehicle registrations fees, and smogging fees to be paid.. guess who gets to pay that.. yep, me.
3) Mike never cancelled mom's retirement money... so now that has to be paid back... $1800 .. guess who will most likely have to pay that back.. yep, right again, me.
4) He went on and on about finances and Mike and how he's dreading calling him again etc..
You know.. since mom died, every single night I dream about her.. its always something like I"m helping her somehow.. like night before last I was taking out her garbage cause she couldn't walk... last night she was bleeding and I was trying to figure out why and was real worried about her.. I'm not sure what these dreams mean..
Me and my sweetie talked about the analysis of my dreams this morning and we both have opinions on why I'm dreaming about mom like this nightly.. I want some other thoughts on this tho from a psychological point of view... so feel free to analyse why I'm dreaming these things about my mom.

I'm not used to this weird weather.. in Iowa by this time it was snow... cold... blah.
but now here, we're under a tornado watch till 7am.. funny.. its 2am and I can't sleep cause of this wind.. damn it's strong.
Oh yea.. btw.. do you guys remember that cute mood theme LJ used to have.. with the little blob things that sometimes had wings etc?? I'm making a mood theme using those.. I'm going to figure out how to make it public too if I can.. so if you miss that theme let me know and I'll see what I can do to either make it public or show you how to make it a private theme for yourself (its a pain tho if you do it yourself.)
I"m going outside to see if there's a tornado now.. :)

"Today is a good day to die." - Kiefer Sutherland in the movie Flatliners
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever wondered what it is like to die? (I know some of you have experienced this already just as I have in the past)
I haven't told many people this at all... I know one person who had an account of "hell" when they had their NDE (near death experience) on my LJ friends list.. My experience was much different tho.
In my life I've died 3 times .. I'm going to give you the situation leading up to my heart stopping and what happened after it did and how it felt.

I have 4 hours to learn SQL!
I have another interview at 4 but I don't know SQL.. it doesn't look so hard... fairly easy actually.

| yea, well, umm...... |

I went to the interview I was dreading.... ended up taking tests for 3 hours, then had the real interivew. Even with strep throat and feeling as shitty as I do I typed 96wpm today.. not sure how the rest of the tests came out tho.. probably stunk at them since I was feeling so shitty.
The people all seemed nice enuf.. its not too far from home, only a 15 minute drive.. but the pay is what gets me I guess... not nearly enuf for a paralegal... but I need to work, I need out of the house... I'm getting cabin fever being here all the time except for interviews.
Still blows my mind that the other ones all said I was over qualified.. what bullshit.. I mean, should I have went in there and played stupid to get the job? Please!
I suppose if they offer it I'll take it tho... it will get me out of the house anyway.. I did sort of get a "job" with one of the companies tho... he wants me to do his website. We had been talking about marketing etc and I mentioned since he deals with computer software/hardware support he really should have a site.. so I get a freelance job out of it.. who knows, maybe he'll spread my name around here and I'll get a shitload of sites to do and start up my own business... but then again, I would be stuck here with cabin fever again.
Everything is up in the air for job/career etc right now... I hate that.
I can't sleep either.. I think because I'm sick... but I dunno, something just doesn't feel right about tonight but I can't figure out what it is... oh well.

I'm not having a good day..
cried myself to sleep last night and got swollen puffy eyes from it..
woke up with strep throat.. ouch
tried to get into see a dr but wouldn't you know it.. all the damn dr's in town don't have an opening until fucking Dec!!! I found this out after being on hold for, oh, about 45 minutes!
So I decided to call the agency for work.. both positions I had interviewed for turned me down saying I was overqualified.. FUCK!
So now out of desperation I'm going to an interview today for a legal secretary position.... that I don't want.. damn it!

Back in Iowa there were no guns in school.... I didn't have to worry about that shit there.. but here, thats another story.
Today Sarah comes home and tells me that all the kids at her school were rushed into rooms and locked in when some girl pulls a .22 on another girl.... geeze.
Not only that, some boys got in a fight on the bus, police were involved, and Sarah got hurt.. apparently the one being beat on got thrown into Sarah, smashed his head into Sarah's and Sarah's head went into the bus window. She was seeing double for a while but seems alright now..
Yep, welcome to the city... no more small town attitude here.

Someone told me about this journal so I thought I would give it a try since LiveJournal tends to create so much drama...... we'll see if this one is full of drama as well.
I still have my LJ but if this works better, who knows hehe.... or maybe I'll just do both.
Off to hunt for friends now..................................bye
