IT'S THE WEEKEND BAAAAAABAYYYYY!

Hey people!!!! 

Yall have no idea how much I was looking forward to the weekend. Not that I had anything special planned because I really don't and rarely ever do.  For some reason this week has been unusually long and I swear it felt like it would NEVER end.  Unfortunately this is my last Saturday off, so ends my wonderfully welcomed temporary schedule.  My feelings were so hurt when I found out I didn't get approved for Saturdays off permanently.  I did apply for a different position within my department, so if all goes well I end up getting Saturday off anyway since this position is only Monday to Friday with the same hours as I work now.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed and you guys PLEASE keep your fingers crossed for me. 

In other news..... B's stomach issues have been figured out.  I wrote about it before HERE ,  here and here.  The medication that the put him on seems to have done the trick.  Things started getting better and better and next thing you know his stomach pain has disappeared.  He's been pain free for the past two or three days.  So now we'll be scheduling a follow up with the specialist in the next week or so.  It sucks that he has to be dependent on this medication, especially since he hates taking medicine.  I don't like the idea of him taking it either, so now that we KNOW what it is for sure I'll have to try looking into ways to deal with it naturally, if there are any.  It still trips me out how this thing came on all of a sudden, but I'm just glad he's not in pain anymore. 

ALTHOUGH he almost made me knock him the heck out today.  He almost had a new kind of pain to deal with.  Today was cleaning day.  What a way to spend my last Saturday off huh???  The kids have been slacking with their responsibilities around the house, which they don't have a whole lot of.  Other kids would think they had it easy; they don't realize how good they have it.  K2 usually washes dishes on the weekend and B does them during the week.  So today after breakfast, and there wasn't many dishes to wash, B gets an attitude because I tell him to help K2 with the dishes.  I have K2 relay the message to him that he has to help.  He should have been washing them anyway because a majority of the stuff that had to be washed were tupperware that got pulled out of the fridge.  He is supposed to clean out the fridge every Friday and he didn't the past two weeks so I had him do it this morning.  Hence all the dirty dishes.

I'm upstairs in me and the Hubby's bathroom cleaning and B comes up and tells me, as if I didn't already know that it's K2's day to wash dishes.  I tell him I know and go back to what I'm doing.  THEN.... he has nerve enough to ask me why he has to help her. 

*RECORD SCRATCH* 

I CAN NOT STAND, I repeat, can NOT stand for them to ask me a million and one questions about why they have to do something I tell the.  I told him that he needed to help her because that's what I TOLD him to do and if he had a problem he could was them by himself.  So of course he's down there half ass-ing it and giving her attitude, so he ended up doing them himself anyway.  He's been down in his room ever since.  Like I really give a dang.  He can keep his little funky self down there all weekend for all I care. 

Oh you guys wait until you hear this WHY did we find out that the house we're renting is being foreclosed on????  It's so weird because we kept, and have since we've lived here, getting mail for some one named Marti something.  I would always just put addressee unknown and put back in the mail.  So for the past few months or so the mail has been coming from mortgage companies and different agencies that help with refinancing.  I just return it like always, but in the back of my mind I was wondering if this place was being foreclosed.  I just dismissed it thinking it was random solicitations because it seems that so many people are having financial problems right now and going through foreclosures.  We were even getting phone calls from agencies saying they can provide this kind of help and that kind of help. 

We got a letter in the mail a little over a week ago addressed to TENANT.  We typically just throw that stuff out, but I guess Hubby's instinct made him open the letter.  The letter basically said that the property is being auctioned off the end of January.  That should be illegal for someone to be collecting rent knowing FULL well they are NOT paying the mortgage, especially without the courtesy of telling us that it's being foreclosed on.  So I guess we were going to just come home from work one day to all our stuff on the front lawn.  I called the woman that manages the property who we pay our rent to and she acted like she was just clueless, but I found it interesting that she had completely changed her voice mail.  I'm pretty sure we can kiss our deposit goodbye, unless we take dude to court.

Initially I was so peeved, but I've calmed since we found out.  I'm not real thrilled about moving again and and even less excited about having to move in the cold.  I've done quite a bit of calling around to find out what our rights are or more appropriately what our rights aren't because it seems we have NONE.  Our only option is to move.  Hooray!!!!  Note the sarcasm. I hate moving and didn't want to move until we were either moving back to GA or moving somewhere warm and tropical.  I told Hubby next time we move I am NOT lifting a finger and I meant it. 

We went last weekend and looked at a few places.  I'm extremely leery of renting a house right now and cant imagine all of us living in an apartment.  I haven't lived in an apartment since my early 20's and don't like the idea of having to go back to that.  I despise noise above my head and hate having to worry about the baby or the puppy running around making noise.  I hate having to deal with neighbors and all that apartment type crap that you have to put up with.  There are some definite upsides, but I just cant get excited about it AT ALL.  I'll keep you guys updated on the housing crisis.  There's some other things I need to update you all on, but it'll have to wait for a bit since this is getting a little long. 

You all have a safe enjoyable weekend!!! Peace and Blessings.
