A long week....
So far 2006 hasn't been so hot. It started with the damn show which took up a good couple of months of our lives. But the year has had so many ups and downs. My son graduated high school which was an up. I am very proud of him. The down, he moved out. He's 18 and a very independant soul, so I knew he would. But it's been really hard on me. I love all my children, but a mother has a very special bond with her son, especially since he's the only one. He calls, he comes by, but it's still been very hard to let go of this particular child.

We've had a total of three car accidents. I totalled my Mercury. I don't hardly ever remember being IN an accident except for maybe one or two fender benders, so this totally jarred my world. Two weeks later, Alaina wrecked her car. It was a new car and the brakes went out. She didn't total it, but she didn't have it for a month either. Two weeks after she got it out of the shop, she had a fender bender. While I'm so very thankful that no one was hurt in any of these accidents, they still upset me.

We're still in the middle of lawsuit hell with our mortgage company. I fired my previous lawyer because, basically, he wasn't doing shit. When I got a copy of all my files from him I found out all sorts of things that he didn't tell me. Like the case was dismissed and repremanded to arbitration. I've hired a new lawyer that has not only dealt with the mortgage co. lawyers, but over this very thing. We offered a settlement and now they're trying to say we're part of another class action suit in California. We aren't. So it's all still going round and round. We're desperatly hoping this will all be over with soon. We've been dealing with it for over 3 years. We just want to move into a new house.

Work has gotten crazy. I do the websites for 4 of our stations and oversee the other 2. I still have a sales coordinator title, though most of my work is on the websites. Now the corporation has decided that we're putting all our websites with a new company...by the end of the year. This means a lot more work for me. I don't mind it, I love doing the sites, I'm just hoping that I'll be promoted to Webmaster soon.

I've started doing some web work on the site. I completed one site over the summer and have three or four more now looking for me to build something. This is good, but it does take a good bit of time.

On the horror front, I have something coming up that I'll be announcing next weekend and I'm really excited.

Ok, so if you actually sat through and read all of that, bless you.
