Not a Weiner

Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Well, at least when it comes down to being hired for a job. I was in the final 31 for the FAHC ITAR program but while my family and I waited anxiously by the phone (I went out and bought 2 tubs of Edy's No Sugar Added Ice Cream), the wait proved futile. No call. So I guess its back to square one. Remember that show? My sister and I used to love it.

I am going to call RealPage today. They seem like a cool place to work.

On an even more exciting note (note: sarcasm) I got a piece of mail from the lovely State of VT dept. of taxes saying that my homestead declaration thingy was F'd up and as I read the back I could see that my income was listed as $81,181.00! I WISH!!!! So I called a rather unpleasant lady (can't say as I blame her) and found out I have to amend it ASAP. I have to redo form HI-144 and HS-122 yippee. What happened was when I filled out the HI-144 (which I have no recollection of doing) through the online freefile, I put my income down as social security benefits received instead of what I thought was social security benefits' taxable wages and witholdings. My bad. I didn't read it closely enough I guess...? I'm not sure how that will affect me in the long run. And I thought I was done with my taxes!! HA!!

Kris is sick, he stayed home today. I still feel crappy. This cold has hung in there for 3 weeks now. I just feel tired all the time and this cough won't go away. I think I'll go for a walk since its finally sunny (though very very windy as usual), but oh yes Rocky just called me and asked me to be home when Alex gets off the bus since he's up in Isle la Dirtbag having lunch with his Dad. So nice that he is able to just do whatever he wants and I have to always be on call. I mean, I love my kids and love having them as much as possible but it would be nice to have a day, an entire fucking day, where I can just do what I want to do and not have to worry that he's going to "need" me to be there for one of the kids. Tomorrow I have to have Alicia all day even though its his day because I have to bring her to a WIC appointment in the morning, and then why bother dropping her back to Rocky when its going to be gorgeous out and he'll just sit inside with her, especially since I have to pick her back up in the evening anyway, and I might as well get Alex off the bus and just keep him here too, right? So today I got 1/2 a day to myself. Wow. Oh well not really to myself because Kris had to stay home (don't blame him at all) since he got my cold. Since he's home of course I want him to take a walk with me or something but he has to read and stuff so I have to just stay out of the downstairs so I don't disturb him (my idea not his). Well ok there's my daily bitch. Back to doing the taxes...
