I Guess its Just Life

Well, I dont know if the title quite fits, but I guess we will see as time progresses. I am currently in Okinawa, Japan in a small 2 bedroom government housing unit on base. I live in a Quadroplex with 3 other families. The Martin's, The Mata's and The Javier's. I don't really have much to say about the Mata's they pretty much stay to themselves. I don't hear a lot from them, she is currently pregnant and expecting her first child, and the rest of us in this building already have one child. I have one daughter named Molly and a Husband Named Alan, and My name is Amee. I am hoping to vent a little bit of my chaotic life on this. That way I can relieve some of the stress that comes with being a Military Spouse, a Mommy, and the Housekeeper, Cook and Maid and soon to be full time Employee of Chili's yup thats right we have one here on base.

Yesterday I spent the entire day trying to JCI my car. Which is just another way that the japanese extort money out of us while we are here on their island, I paid 450 dollars to get this done, and then found out due to a brake fluid leak it cannot be done so that 4500 dollars that I paid for the car, plus the 450 to get the inspection, and the 85 for the road tax so i can drive on their roads and the 82 dollars x4 to get new tires is going to be thrown away. And what will I get to compensate me for this, probably anywhere from 200 to 500 dollars for junking it. My husbands car is currently needing a JCI as well so we cannot drive it because we didnt have the money to pay for the temporary plates... but I guess thus is life...

On a good note however I did recieve a call offering me a job and a chance at sanity so that I can get away from my very active 32 month old daughter, and help relieve some of the financial stress that comes when you have to pay $5.00 for a half gallon of milk. I got a job offer paying 14 dollars an hour to watch kids or 9.50 an hour to wait tables plus tips... im thinking im taking the 2nd one... I do after all need some adult time.
