So where do I start? Once upon a time in a forest there lived a girl cha cha cha....oh no that's the goldilocks song my sister learned in preschool 30 yrs ago!
This isn't my first attempt at a blog. I've tried this a few times before. Previous attempts worked out really well in the past to just help me vent. It's just that i get to a point in my life and I just totally forget to check in. I'm not going to say...this time will be different! Because sadly I know something will happen and no more blog or blog limbo...
I am a thirty year old living in the land of the Big Cheese(Mickey Mouse). I am happily engaged to a fabulous man named Peter. I live with my mom to take care of her after she was hospitalized. As of right now I am gainfully Unemployed.
It seems as though this past year and into this year has been a bit of a downward hill of a roller coaster ride. I was diagnosed with Fibromylogia in November 2009. We were living in a mold infested duplex that the landlord didn't give a damn about. We were evicted from said house. Leaving us to bunk with a friend for a month. My mom is hospitalized, so luckily we had a new place to stay! I got a divorce from my abusive ex-husband. He promised he'd help financially until my mom got back on her feet for work. He since reneged on that promise...So I am financially in a super big bind. I was hospitalized for having a mini stroke brought upon by my body fighting a virus. Yeah that was not fun. Then my mom is rehospitalized, peter has a cancer scare. It's like ok enough is enough already.
There are some lights at the end of the tunnel. Some glimmers of hope. I have got in touch with a contact at Disney to work for them again. When you are let go for any reason at disney you are "Labeled" with a status. This is your rehire status. Some people have a total and complete NO rehire status, some might have a conditional rehire status (they can only work in certain locations under probation etc) and others have a positive rehire status where after 6 months you can come back to work. First thing i had to do was find out when I actually left the company. I had gone seasonal with them, and in the middle of the summer I could no longer log into the system and then I get a letter asking why I left the company....I'm like I didn't.....I was able to find that it was June 2010. So if as of dec/January I could safely start applying (in theory) if i had a positive
rehire. I called our jobline/casting to find out whether they could figure that out...nope you have ask management....no you have to ask casting.....HUH???? So applied and wished. Not a word since December... So i moved on. I finally asked myself...who would have this info, and contacted that person. That person is on the hunt...but sadly I asked a few days before her spring break vacay. So I won't be able to get that info until 4/4 when she comes back. (DOH!)
Did I mention my handsome fabulous fiance Peter? In all seriousness he is the greatest thing to happen. He was my knight in shining armor when I needed it most. (he still is!) He makes me laugh all the time. He cooks, and actually is very considerate very encouraging when I try to cook, So i actually cook more. I cook spaghetti and homemade meatballs, chili, cookies(all sorts!), got an egg i can scramble it, make an omlette, make in sunny side up, and hard boil it!
A year ago the eggs and the cookies were the only things that I ever really attempted. Was scared to because of my ex...because if i made it wrong he would yell and possibly throw things....sadly i'm being serious. I made the whole thanksgiving dinner ALL by myself a few years ago even though he promised to help with the rolls...and when i broke down into tears due to shear exhaustion of the whole thing he stormed out of the apartment not to return until the next day. And that was the first thanksgiving I ever made, and wanted it to be perfect...He had a habit of making my favorite holidays hell. He made me cry on my birthday. (that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me) He's out of my life! But my mom still loves him...even though she saw what he did and heard what he said to me.
So now i'm at a crossroads once again trying to figure out what step to take next. Hoping to hear some good news in the coming days. I will leave you all with that for now. Thank you and good luck!
