Long 2 Weeks

I think it has been the longest 2 weeks of my life since I last blogged; where do I start? Well lets' go with the weight loss. I decided to try the new, cheaper diet center. I now am supposed to eat 1200 calories but seem to be having a hard time adjusting to it or just plain figuring it out. In two weeks I have lost 4 lbs; since January 8th, 2007 I have lost 45.5 lbs. While this is not awesome, I consider it a personal great achievement since I really didn't start "seriously"trying until May sometime.

On August 4th to my GREAT horror, I fell in WalMart before going to work. I am just appalled to tell everyone that Management let me sit on the ground for probably at least 10 minutes before coming to me - it was there fault, some sort of unknown slick substance on the floor. And then after filling out an incident report with them, they proceeded to let me stand in line another probably 10-15 minutes to pay for my 3 items. I had to go to the emergency walk in clinic the next morning because my knee was quite swollen and until this day I still have not been contacted by their risk management. Can you say "Welcome to J-Mart"?

My second piece of shit Saturn that I bought has left me stranded again and is currently in the shop where it is waiting for a part they need to start it with before they can see if there is anything else wrong with it. It left me stranded this Friday, when they hadn't called us by Saturday afternoon, we went to the dealership where they put me in a Mac-Daddy 2007 Saturn Aura, 5800 miles, loaded to the max including leather seats, moon roof, every function at your finger tips on the steering wheel and a start the car from in your house option - it started acting up on me Monday morning on the way home.

I've had to file a grievance at my job which is just generating a lot of hate a discontent and will most likely go to formal arbitration between me and my union and my employer. We're not talking small change here - $5700+

We are still working on getting our house windows replaced. It is going to cost us $5100 (man wouldn't that retro be nice?) but we are trying to get a grant thru the State of Florida that will pay have off that. The grant will also give us $ to replace our garage door and patio door if we get it. That price is not included in the above contract we signed with the contractor.

My baby starts kindergarten on Monday also adding to my worries. My little, baby boy!!!!!!! My life is just falling apart................. ;-)
