Hmmm...

Well, I haven't blogged in a while...I've been busy with school, making sure we get places on time, studying, cooking, and other single parent duties. For a long time I was under the impression that Ben and I were friends, that we were both working towards the same goal of being good parents to Lily. Boy, was I wrong. About a month ago, he quit his job as a retail manager...just up and quit. He was the insurance provider for Lily too. Since then, she's been sick, and I've had to practically twist his arm to get him to take her to the doctor. I would have taken her myself, but my financial aid is directly tied to how many hours I have at school (if I miss 9% of my current hours, I lose my fin aid), and since he wasn't working I figured he could be a good dad and take her for me. He did, that one time; but since then she's needed to go again and he refused. He is a terrible, selfish person. I no longer want to be his friend...I can't even stand to talk to him. I never knew that I could feel such strong dislike for him. Now, I know we're divorced and I'm not supposed to like him...but I never even imagined he would turn out to be one of those Lifetime Network movie dads.

Ok, enough of that...

I love school! I've learned a lot about hair color, and perms; but I can't wait for cutting class. We will have one the 2nd week of March. Then I will be able to take clients at school. I am looking forward to that too. Most of the girls are great, there are only a couple that I don't get along with; and they don't even show up to class half the time. I've made some great new friends, and even though they're mostly younger than me I really have fun with them.

I'm also looking forward to doing my taxes, although I'm worried about having to pay. A previous employer didn't withhold any Federal taxes, even though I asked that they be withheld...so I'm worried about that. I'm certainly not in a position to owe the government money.

Jason drunk-dialed me a while back...he didn't say anything, but I knew it was him. The last time I was at his house, he was listening to Bob Marley. When this "mystery" person called, No Woman No Cry was blaring in the background. Shit, at least have the presence of mind to turn the music down when you drunk-dial someone! Just reinforces his moronic status in my mind. Hehehehe...it is funny though.

I vow to try to blog more often...even though I don't have anything interesting to talk about.
