Stress

So buying a home up here seemed like a good idea and renting out our old house would allow us to keep the home we love and want to go back to. The management company we have renting the house would be good if the lady that takes care of our house wasn't such a grouch. We can't ask for a different person because she is the owner's wife. :( The renter's didn't transfer the utilities like they were supposed to and we get to pay for it because by the time they got the gas company out to turn the gas back on it was a holiday weekend and guess what, the hot water heater needed replaced. I understand these things happen but I don't like paying an extra 600$ just because they waited to tell the property management company until the 24th and therefore we have to get a water heater in before the end of the weekend. John is really grouchy and hard to live with when money is tight.

Between that and Scott being hormonal life has not been the most pleasant around this house. Scott has been grounded for the most of the week and he keeps just digging it in worse. I am the peacekeeper and I am fed up with keeping the peace between the two. Scott today pushed me to the point that he will have to deal with John when he gets home from work and I am leaving. I don't know were I will head yet but I need some time away from these two. Maybe they can get things worked out while I am gone....maybe I will go see a movie, several have come out recently and I do have birthday money....hmmmmmm

Oops I forgot to post last week

Not to much has happened around here this last week. Scott and I both got sunburns but mine was minor compared to his. He was a lobster all down his back, his ears, his face. It's better now though, except the parts were he peeled to early and has scabs now.

John bought me an MP3 player for my birthday. He gave it to me Thursday because he couldn't wait. I have been singing at the top of my lungs since. :) It was great yesterday when I was cleaning the house. I don't think the boys have enjoyed it so much but oh well.

John fixed my dryer yesterday also. The timer was not moving but the dryer would still work. So he got Scott to help him and they replaced the timer. We did have a laundry lesson with Scott so that hopefully we don't have this issue again.

John has a surprise planned for me today for my birthday but wont tell me what it is. After Scott is done at church we will go. All I know is to dress comfortably and to take my tennis shoes along.

Loves!

Freedom?

Scott is on a High Adventure camping trip with church. That means I have the next two days to myself. I have no plans though because Scott told me about the camping trip YESTERDAY! John helped Scott pack last night but today I ask Scott do you have your permission slip? He says yes I do, it's in my pocket. On my way back home I get a call, ummm Mom I dont have my permission slip. I ask where is it, oh he doesnt know maybe his bedroom or one of the living rooms. ARGH!
