Day 3: the meaning behind your Open Diary name
I started writing in this diary full time when Daniel went to North Dakota the first time. I quit my job and became a stay at home mom. I wasn't doing school at that time. And my oldest son was at his Dads going to school there. I was so freaking bored, I had nothing to do, nowhere to go, and I started to get cabin fever. I felt as a prisoner in these four walls. When Daniel went to North Dakota this last time, I had both kids, school, and work full time. It was way too much to handle all at once, so quitting my job seemed the be the best answer. I am a stay at home Mom again, and I still don't enjoy it. As soon as we move I'll get a part time job.
The formatting of my diary name was just something cutesy I did. It reminded me of an email address or the Twitter thing people do. (I have a Twitter, but ever get on there. I don't get it!). So, prisoner@home, till the last kid moves out!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't have time to be writing this entry. It's 8 AM, we all need to be out the door by 9 AM, pick Koby up at 10 AM, and in the mountains by noon. Today is Daniel's BFF Andy's birthday celebration. We are going to Horsetooth Reservior, Andy is renting a jet ski, and I told Daniel that he has to give the kids a ride. They will have a blast!
I went shopping at a store yesterday called Party America. They had a Spongebob section with all of David's party decorations. We got the pointy hats, plates, napkins, streamers, balloons, invitations, poppers, candles (One set is the letters that say 'David', the other set is this nifty looking star set with a '7' on it), and of course, no party is complete without a Spongebob pinata! I think I am more excited than David is! Of course, he doesn't know about it all. I also got GOOD candy for the pinata, like chocolate bars and such. Yep, I'm looking to be the 'cool' mom.
All of that shit cost over $70. We are running low on money, and we can't afford anything else. I got David a Nintendo DS with three games, for cheap at a pawn shop. It looks good, and works great, he will never know. But, with paying for this party, this was the only present we could afford. So I texted my parents yesterday and let them know David's birthday was next weekend. My Mom called me right off and asked what he wanted. I told her a Razor scooter. So we both got online and picked one out for $40, and had it shipped Walmart site-to-store. It will be here on the 14th, the DAY BEFORE the party. Talk about cutting it close! My Dad called later on that night, and told me that he would Western Union me $120, to buy him some stuff from him. So, this will save my ass present wise!
Speaking of my Dad, we haven't spoken in a while. I've been swamped with shit here, and I guess my brother is being released from prison in November. Which is weird because my brother sent me a letter less than a week ago and he said they moved his release date to 2013. My Dad says he has no clue what I am talking about. Anyways, the apartment complex my Dad lives at in Phoenix will not accept a felon living there. I find this funny because the place he lives at is fucking ghetto! And, my Dad tells me, "It's not even a serious felony! I don't understand!" Uh, yeah Dad, It's serious. He sold illegal guns to and undercover officer. The feds were watching him for a year. I believe that constitutes as a big deal. I found that statement funny. So, I guess he has been trying to find a place that Vince can go when he is released, and I guess it's easier to find a place for a glittery unicorn to live rather than a convicted felon. But he found a place, and we can go back to our phone schedule, me and Dad.
Oh, I am going to KILL my TA! I have an 88% in this class because of her! I can't do anything to get a decent grade on a paper with her. I am so going to lose my 4.0 average if she gives me a bad grade on my final research paper. Apparently, I just suck at writing papers. And this is news to me, because I used to rock!
