More randomness

Today is April 30th. A year ago William and Saoirse came back from Australia. It is the longest period of time William and I have been together in our 4 year relationship. Officially we are now considered common law. Except for the minor fact that I am still legally married. Details, details. Today I discovered that his residency application is still 6 weeks away from even being looked at.

I cried. I can't handle this. I am so tired of living in limbo. Are we going to stay here or are we going to go to England or Australia? I just don't know. And because I don't know I can't really make other plans. I want to go back to school. But what can I do here that will be recognized in either of those other countries? Blah.

My cousin called me tonight- the one who was arrested the other week. She wants to know if she can stay with me. I said yes, what else could I say? Where does she sleep? I'd put her in Liam's room, but he hasn't bothered to clean it even though he has been threatened with the loss of soccer if it doesn't get it done.

I love my cousin dearly, but can I live with her? Not a chance. I haven't gotten a straight story out of her about what happened with her husband, about why he has emergency custody of her son, a child that is not his. There's something up there. I mean, they just don't take a child away from his mother. Something had to have happened. I worry about bringing her unstability into my home, when I am already of pretty precarious sanity myself these days.

I called my mum to see if she could stay there. My mum had offered when all this first happened but my cousin decided to stay with a friend. So tonight she says to me "I'd rather not get involved." She did end up saying she could, but I don't think she is very happy about it.

I sent my taxes in today, nothing like waiting until the last minute. I get back enough that we will be able to buy a new computer, which is fantastic because this one is hardly working anymore.

To continue with the randomness of this post is it not amazing how much kids cost? Taylor received the bulk of my money this last 2 weeks. Soccer- $135. Women's cleats, size 8 1/2 (bigger than me!)- $60 ($25 more than the boys junior for half a size difference, exactly the same shoe.) Shin pads- $20. Cheapest baseball glove at the store since she is only going to use it for 6 games and can not find her own- $50. Clothes from La Senza and Old Navy- $60. I'm sure I spent more on her. The little girls have new summer clothes too, I realized I hadn't gotten Saoirse a single pair of shorts for Easter and Sophie had no capris. I bought Saoirse a pair each of jeans, capris and shorts at Gymboree for $55. And that was the clearance rack! Freaking Gymboree. Then we went to Old Navy where I finished them off for $120. I had better not buy another summery thing. Except for the matching striped dresses. Those are too cute to pass up. They'll probably be gone by the time I get back though.

Today William came home early so we went over to the mall to pick up a few things (forgot to get a microwave- mine packed it in today) and we saw the filming of the Christmas movie. Chris Kattan is some short! But better looking than he appears on TV. When we came out of where the filming was taking place there was a sign that said something like "By entering this area you consent to your image and sound belonging to this movie, blah, blah, blah." So you could see me and my might have been greasy hair on the big screen! Yikes. Frightening.

I've never seen a movie being filmed before. I never realized how slow it is. All those extras standing around in their winter coats. I really should have went into the casting call, there were tons of mums and babies. I wouldn't have minded making $575 or whatever it is for standing around doing nothing. And if the girls were paid that would be over $1600. For nothing. Crazy. It will be a bit odd though- all the paid extras in their winter gear and then all the people that just happen to be caught on film in tank tops and shorts.

Is this random and boring enough? It has bored me into sleepiness anyway, so maybe it had its good points.

The movie itself doesn't sound that great. Actually, it sounds like shite.
