Where to start...?

Well, here I am - back in the Land of Nothing... Always told myself that I'd never move back to this little one-horse town but life never seems to go ever go the way we plan, does it? When all my plans to immigrate fell down around me (thanks to my son's father, Mr NoBoddy who is seriously mentally challenged), I sorta felt that the world was coming to an end. Especially when I tried very hard to find a job in PMB , had absolutely no luck and had to come back here... Sounds ridiculous now that I even thought of moving over to Kiwi land to marry PollyOtter - if he was that serious about me, he would've come to back SA. In truth, Blossom was right about the whole situation - we were both in love with the idea of having a perfect little family and not really in love with each other. Even though it was awesome opportunity for my little Mojo Jojo...

So, now, I'm back in this shitty little place and I managed to find a decent job within 2 weeks after trying to find a job in PMB for 3 months! Go figure lol Slowly but surely seem to be sorting my life out which is absolutely brilliant - the best thing is that it is so far from Mr NoBoddy & Grandma Loon that they can't interfere! Can you believe that we have been here since 28th November 2009 and the stoopid idiot has only spoken to his son TWICE?! That's seriously f***ed up - how, if you seriously love your kid, do you only speak to him twice in 6 months?

The stories of how pathetic this man is are absolutely endless! Just recently, he claimed that he had been trying to contact me continuously to see his son for the holidays but my phone was never on or if it was on, I never answered - ROFLFMAO! What a load of utter bullshit - my phone may as well be surgically connected to me! It's never off and it may be strange to some, but I don't screen my calls and have never received any calls or missed calls from him or his fruitloop mother - just irritating "Please Call Me"s from her which is what sparked the whole issue in the first place... Why the hell must I phone her? If she wants to talk to me, she can use her own bloody, airtime! So I spoke to my boss (I work for a law firm lol) and he said I was perfectly within my rights to tell her that she must stop sending them and call me at her own cost - which is when I got the sms from her idiot son telling me to answer my phone or at least have it switched on... Then when I explained that it is always on and I dont screen my calls, hadn't received any missed calls or sms'es from him, he said to me that he wants his son for the next holiday and I must make the arrangements or speak to his lawyer! Well, sorry for him, spoke to my boss again and was told to send an sms back telling him to contact my lawyer and giving the contact details... Result? No reply lol

A few days later at about 7h45, I received a call from a lady who said she worked at the Family Advocates' Office and that they had been instructed by Mr NoBoddy and blah, blah, blah - until she mentioned a "Court Order" that gives him visitation every two weeks and also that the "Order" claims that I said I didn't want maintenance from him! There is no "Court Order" stipulating this so, I asked her to fax me a copy of this order and she said she'd have to ask his permission and get back to me... So I told her fine, not a problem but it just didn't seem right to me. A few minutes later, I decided to ask one of the other partners here at the firm whether this woman had to get permission from Ian to fax me a copy of the "court order", and he replied definitely not, a court order is public record and ANYONE can request to see a copy. He told me to phone her back and tell her that she will send me a copy and to put the call through to him if she gave me a hard time.

So I phoned, asked to speak to her and the lady who answered said "Speaking" so I took off at this woman telling her that in connection with our earlier conversation, I insist that she faxes me a copy of the "order". When I finally stopped having my say, this woman said to me "Sorry, what is this in connection with?" and I said "You spoke to me about it this morning" - she had absolutely NO CLUE what I was talking about! So I asked if perhaps there was someone else of the same name who also worked there and the answer was no... When I finally came to my senses, I could actually hear that this lady was definitely NOT the lady who had phoned me and all sorts of other little clues started to fall into place: No goverment office is going to call someone at 07h45; if they were calling from the office of the Family Advocate, why did she have to put the phone on hold when her boss walked into her office? Adelle was most horrified that someone had been impersonating her and even sent me an email confirming that she had not contacted me and knew nothing of supposed issues between Mr NoBoddy and I!

After being f***ing angry for a while, I actually saw the humour in the whole situation: Mr NoBoddy is well aware of the fact that I have worked for attorneys for the majority of the last 9yrs, that I have access to legal advice almost instantly... Did he honestly not think I would think that something was odd? What an absolute idiot... The best thing about this all is that he thought he was screwing up my life by changing his mind and telling me that he was no longer going to give me permission to take Mojo Jojo to New Zealand - his little plan has backfired totally! The amount of contact he actually has with his son (who he loves SO much), we might as well have been in New Zealand anyway...

And to top it all off, I have met Slugger. a wonderful guy who doesn't expect me to up and follow him where HE wants to go but has said that he will stay where I am... He wanted to leave the Land of Nothing before he met and is now content to stay here since I wont be going anywhere for a while - Mojo Jojo needs stability (something that was non-existent when he lived with his pyscho grandmother). I geuss at some stage of the game, if the opportunity presents itself, we probably will leave the Land of Nothing for better prospects lol It just means so much to me that someone is prepared to stick around for ME after all the crap that I've been through...

I actually started this to vent, complain about life etc., etc but I find myself looking at my life and realising that a lot of good has happened to me as well - I mean, life isn't perfect and never will be but I have the most awesome friends (new and old) that a gal could hope for, a fantastic man in my life and an amazing mother who helps wherever she can! I geuss the only thing that I can complain about really is the fact that Mr NoBoddy, Grandma Loon and the rest of the cuckoo-clan haven't been sideswiped and wiped from the face of the planet by a taxi, speeding down Town Hill ;o) I tell you true, I would mourn more for the passengers of the taxi than I would for them! Well, I'm not the Eternal Optimist for nothing... Blossom said it suits me very well ;o) lmao

So, to whoever may read this, if you're feeling down, DON'T EVER GIVE UP - things come right sooner or later x x x
