My inconsiderate neighbors

Why can't people just be considerate of others? Our neighbors are freaks, yep, freaks. The man that owns the home is in his late 40's early 50's & hangs out w/people half his age. So needless to say they like to party at his house. Well, Fri night they decided to have band practice at MIDNIGHT!! This isn't the first time. They usually go until 2 or 3 in the morning. They do it all the time & finally told Russ that I was tired of it & asked him to call the cops. Well, they were less than happy, but I just can't deal w/it anymore! Russ overheard them saying "I'm going to teach him a lesson". GREAT! The thing about it is, it's not like we live in a trashy part of town or anything, we just have crappy neighbors! I would love to move, but Russ just doesn't think we can financially do it right now. I don't know, I'm just at my wits end.

9 yrs ago today...

I married my best friend in the world. I can't believe it's already been 9 yrs. Just doesn't seem possible. It seems like just yesterday we were exchanging vows & now we have a 3 yr old & have been married for 9 yrs. Crazy how fast time flies.

Gymnastics Drama

Well, Jess busted her lip open at gymnastics today. They had a ladder type thing propped up against a mat (one that is tall, not flat). Well Jess was climbing up & missed one of the rungs & fell & hit her mouth on the next rung. She comes running over crying. I didn't think it had done anything, but when I moved her lip, sure enough she had split her lip open & skinned her gum. I didn't know you could skin your gum, but it peeled the skin back & now it's purple. So, I'm cradling Jessica & some saliva mixed w/blood comes out of her mouth & of course I can't get a paper towel. The teacher was already running around looking for ice or something to put on it. Thankfully another mother that I'm friends w/was there & she got me paper towels & a cold paper towel to cool Jess off. NONE of the other mothers moved. I couldn't believe it. They were all like oh poor thing...YADA, YADA. Jess was fine though & got a popsicle out of it! LOL Just another crazy day in my life! :D

Fingernail Polish




Can you guess what I'm going to write?!? So, I was in bed this morning & Jess was in there w/me. Well, all of a sudden I smell...FINGERNAIL POLISH! I jumped out of bed (literally) & looked down to see Jessica painting her legs, arms, hands & occassionaly fingernail w/my polish!! Of course I don't have any remover so had to go to the store to get some. Oh the joys of having a toddler! LOL
