aww thanks again everyone!!


I posted that last message right in the heat of the moment while I was still reeling from my parents not-so-warm welcome, so it probably sounds a little more urgent than it is...

The reason they're not letting me stay with them for long is because of religious reasons.... without getting too much into it.... I don't belong to the same church they belong to, which is REALLY strict. The fact that a "worldly" person will be living under their roof is not a good thing according to their beliefs.... (but yah.... my brothers who lived with them weren't goin to their church either at the time.... they are now, but not while they were living with them.... so that still stings a bit... oh well)

ANYWAYS.... I still have the option of living with my "he-friend" and his roommate. I didn't want to at first because of my parents.... y'know.... out of respect for them, but I don't really have a choice now... and y'know... the more I think about it the more I have to be my own person and stop worrying about what my parents are going to think. I mean..... they were one of the biggest reasons I married Tyson in the first place (rather than just "shack up" which was the original plan, but I married him instead to please my parents)... and look where it got me.

anyways.... that's probably what I'll do..... live with this dude and his roommate. They have 3 bedrooms and plenty of room.... plus.... c'mon.... they need a woman's touch in their place! HAHA! AND they'll have someone to cook and clean for 'em! If this plan doesn't work out... I have a girlfriend who needs a roommate in the spring, so there's always that option as well...

anyways.... nothing is qute set in stone yet... I'm still mulling over a few ideas.... still thinking about finding my own place as well.... but we'll have to see how healthy my paycheques are lookin'. Speaking of paycheques..... I can't mull around too long cuz I need to actually GET a job. If I stay with my parents, I need to find one close to them (in the city).... if I live with the two guys.... I need to find a job in the town I'm in now. And when the spring comes.... if I end up living with my girlfriend... we'll be in HER tiny town so I'll need a job there... I'm giving myself a week to decide where I'm going. Of course, I will keep u posted


so... you confused yet?

Crystal I dont know ya very well but girl I just wanna tell ya it will get better !! Dont feel bad at your mom & dad either maybe they expect more from you than your brothers cause they know you can do alot better than them. My parents push me harder than my brothers too. I have 5 brothers & 3 of them are screw ups, the other 2 are on their way.I have been a screw up in my life but I overcame them & moved onwards & upwards from them.  I can tell ya some stories girl... I only have one sister & shes screwed up too... So they really do push me alot more but they also respect me alot more AFTER I have proved myself capable of handling things on my own.

Good Luck & keep us posted !!  :hug:

"worldly" person.

Oh for the love of God! Which obviously they AREN'T doing!!

((sigh)) Sorry Crystal, I just get SO tired of people using religion to back up their arguements. In this situation, I feel clinging to the church's doctrine hurts a family far worse than it helps. Is the church going to help you find housing, a job (which I think you said something about having one in one of your text msgs), furniture, clothes on your back (if new job requires any specific types), kitchen needs, bathroom needs... It's all very heady to do right away.

I realize you did make mistakes when you started your life with Tyson, m'dear. Heck, I don't think there are too many people that can say that they're any different. I know I didn't "grow up" until I was 30! ! Seriously... made some serious mistakes when I was still 24!

When you're looking for a place, talk with the manager and see if they'll work out the security deposit in an installment... I know having to plunk down first, last and a Sec. Dep. all at one time, turning on all the utilities you need, etc was QUITE the serious outpouring of cash all needed right away!

Best of luck hun.

Is this a Canadian thing?

ok plans have changed AGAIN

NOW my mom says I can stay as long as I need to..... okaaaay..... not gonna argue or question. (my sister musta talked to her)

So I'll stay here (at parents) untill I've got a job.... then I'll start looking again for my own place. I've decided against the whole roommate thing.... it's so much easier to just depend on myself rather than hope and pray that they're not gonna up and leave...

This won't take long at all..... I have some cash saved up.... I could get a place now if I wanted, but of course I'm going to wait till I'm settled into a regular job. My brothers want me to live with them now, but I'm not interested in that either...... they're SO protective it would drive me bananas..... they'd be worse than my parents "Where u going? Who you going with? When will you be home? Who was that guy who called here for you? LMFAO!!


anyways.... I'm still alive and kickin' and I have a roof over my head... I'll keep ya posted!

Holy crap! They're putting religion before caring for their own daughter.  Now that's scary!!

UPDATE:

I GOT A JOB!!!!!


I'm workin full time at Tommy Hilfiger. Kinda cool to be back in retail again since that's what I'm good at. The only thing that sucks is I'm at the bottom of the ladder, when I'm used to being closer to the top, but oh well.... beggers can't be choosers..... I'm not quite making the wage I would like, so I may have to get a second job. HOWEVER, the provincial government is talkin' about raising wages, so I just might be ok.... gotta see in a couple weeks


y'know what's cool? I only applied at 2 places. Walked into one store and filled out an application, handed in my resume... walked back out. Then I walked into Tommy and handed in my resume to the guy that said hello when I walked in. He happened to be the store manager... and said "come back in 10 mins" so I did and he interveiwed me right there. Called me in half an hour to give me the job

AND... the first place called me too for an interview (well I wasn't home.... so I gotta call 'em back)


ok now I gotta shutup cuz I have to go to Wal-Mart to buy the movie "Cars" it comes out today and I GOTTA have it!


.... I need a "cars" blinkie.....
