So the Drama
July 2, 2006
OMG, where do I start. After days of total boredom life really started getting exciting. It all started Friday morning when I was picking Abbey up from my husband's grandma's house. She had spent the night because her grandmother, aunt and cousins were all spending the night. Anyway, I said something that I won't repeat here. It was a statement I truly meant and it offended them. They called me selfish (which I still don't understand since what I said has nothing to do with selfishness) and vain. I countered with a yup that's me and a bunch of other things that I also won't repeat here. I am trying to just blow it off since I know that it is based solely on the fact that they have NEVER liked me. My mother in law openly cried and screamed when we got married and told her husband to make sure the license was real. The same lady that threw a ungodly fit and stomped off when at our shower my mother got us the silverware that we registered for and she got us stuff that cost more but was so flimsy it would bend whenever you tried to use it. My husband made me apologize for my mom getting us what we wanted. How stupid is that. This is also the woman who couldn't make it to the hospital when either of my children were born. Between the dramas we took the girls to the "beach" it is a man made thing at the lake about 10 minutes from the house. Emmy would not go in the water because it was dirty. Abbey was scared at first but warmed up quickly and would not get out. She still doesn't swim well but she enjoyed playing in the water. She wants to go back but I think I am going to take her to the pool instead since Emmy wouldn't get in.
Drama 2 happened the next day. My sister and I were having a hard sale and my next-door neighbor came over to ask if we saw anything at his house over the last couple of days because someone broke in and robbed him. They took all his DVD's CD's and video games and their players. He said he is moving out on the 18th. I was so happy to hear he is moving out. The house was rented by a group of college guys and they have had so many loud parties that left beer cans all over my yard and kept Emmy from sleeping in her room. So I am happy about that. But kinda freaked about the theft. When I told my other neighbors the lady beside me and the lady behind me they all said what I thought. That it was probably someone that attended parties their and knew he was going to be gone a few days and knew that he was going to be moving soon. At least I hope that is all it was. This has always been a safe neighborhood.
Drama 3 happened earlier today. The boy who has been mowing our yard this summer is about to get fired. He started in May he asked if I needed the lawn mowed I said how much he said 15 I said ok. He did such a good job and even weed eated that gave him 20 he has come back about every 10 days and I have always paid him 10. Then he stopped weed eating and started asking to borrow our mower. Then he started bringing a friend. I would continue to pay 20. Today he came and asked to mow and I said yeah he said my friend will help and I said ok then he said you pay 25 I said no 20 and he said if I weed eat will you pay 25 and I said no. He said ok and they mowed didn't do a very good job and didn't weed eat. So I am looking for a different boy. Its not that I have a problem paying 25 its that I have a problem with I have always paid MORE than he asked for and slowly the job has been getting sloppy and then he stopped doing half. If he was still doing a great job I might have given him the raise.
We are going to the zoo tomorrow and I will probably just rest on Tuesday. Thankfully there is no cheerleading.
