~3-4-05~ That's Hot!

am i the only one who has never heard this phrase to know that it is paris hilton's "catch phrase". mayeb i just don't pay that much attention to her. as a matter of fact, i've never even heard it come out of her mouth. once again, i don't think i ever really even heard her talk. not a paris lover!!!

well anyways....hot, i am sweating again! and it isn't even like i was working or anything. i was checking around my basement. i guess there is enough stuff down there that i have to crawl over, scootch around and lean over, i guess it was sort of a mini work out.

i had plumbers over today to give me an estimate of some work that i want (and some needs) done. all in all it wasn't too bad. the main stuff should all come to about $600. not bad at all. and it might even help with my water pressure without spending the $6000+ for all new plumbing. so fingers crossed on that one.

there is a toilet down there that we have never used since we bought the place, in 1998. i got this big brain storm the other night (while trying to get to sleep) that we could put up some dry wall and make a room in the basement that would be a laundry room/ 1/2 bath. so then i can say my house has 1 1/2 baths, instead of the dreaded just 1 bathroom!

so then a bit ago i was thinking of the whole termite deal. when we bought the place, well before we bought it apparently the place had termites. there are some damaged floor boards (?) that we had fixed, but that is all really, but then i started stressing about that and if someone would not buy because of that, even though that was WAY over 6 years ago. so i searched my whole basement ceiling, that i could see, to see if i could see any new signs of termites and i don't. which is good. but the damage still scares me a bit. there is nothing i can do about the floor board things, its not like i can cut them out. so they will definitely see that. but then they should also be able to see we fixed it and that there is no new damage. i'm just getting myself all worked up!!

i keep putting more and more money into the house and i am terrified it won't sell!!



anyways what i typed early, which blogger lost somewhere....

i am worried about crazy neighbor lady. i realized a while ago that i hadn't seen here lately. which is sort of weird. i don't know how long it had been since i thought that, but then one day last week i did see her car there (not her) and the trash was out. but ever since nothing. the trash cans are still sitting on the sidewalk, and the trash was NOT taken out this week. she had that crazy neighbor kid living with her, and he hasn't even been around.

it bugs me and i don't know what to do. i thought about calling the police, but i am only 90% sure of her first name and i have no clue what her last name is. i don't even think any of the bills or house is in her name, it was her mothers house. she just got put in a nursing home a few months ago.

i do know that she was going through some custody thing with her husband. i don't quite get it since the kid is like 15. i thought the last i heard though was it was all over and she won. it was strange, cause i did think i saw him over there this past sunday. and i think her son, but it just looked like he went around back, but never went into the house.

i'm just damn nosy, but i am honestly worried, and don't know what to do. i'm thinking of going a few houses down to the people i let borrow those space heaters, they were friends with the kid she had living there, and maybe they know what is up...or at least how to get a hold of him so i can find out what the deal is.

another worry i had is that she had a cat. i hope the poor thing isn't inside!!! the last i seen of it, i don't remember how long ago, but the poor thing was meowing its ass off cause it wanted in the house. but i haven't seen it in quite some time. so now i am constantly looking out my window. seeing if anyone goes there, or looking for the cat to be in the window. this just sucks!!! i hate not knowing what to do. bob just thinks i am crazy....my mom this the ex husband did something to her. my belly just hurts thinking of the whole thing! as much as i used to bitch about her being out there at 7am honking her damn horn for 1/2 hour, i'd gladly have that back, just so i knew everything was ok.



my child did NOT nap today! neither did i. i was on the phone with these damn cingular people forever! not really cingular, but the collection agency they turned me in to.

i cancelled my contract with them back in like october. so i had to pay them $150 to get out of it. well i called sometime in november to see how much it was and to pay it. well the guy said i didn't owe anything. so i was like ok......well then a few weeks later i get a bill from them that i owe $150. well of course then i didn't have it!!!!! so i pissed around and of course forgot about it. so eventually in december i made a payment and in janurary i paid it off. well i keep getting these damn phone calls from this collection agency that i owe all this money. i keep telling them NO i don't, i paid it way back in january!!!!!!!!! so today i got pissed and finally decided to call them back. i usually just erase their messages. she told me the same thing, then said that i had to call cingular to get it all settled. *****i wish to god i would have thought and said, HEY THAT IS YOUR JOB, NOT MINE....I PAID MY BILL, THAT IS MY ONLY JOB HERE***** but alas, i didn't think about it. so i called cingular. of course the first time i was disconnected or something. so i call back, and get a better girl anyways. and she said yes, i was all paid up, she doesn't know what the problem was. so i gave her the number to the collection place, and she called them 3 way and told them i was paid. so the collection place was all like well we never got the 2nd payment from cingular. i'm sitting there not saying anything cause THIS IS NOT MY FUCKING PROBLEM!! I PAID MY DAMN BILL!!!! so then she says she'll note the 2nd payment (the cingular lady gave her some confrimation #), but then said i still owe the collection company $29 for collection fees!!!! then the cingular lady goes, she still owes your fee when she didn't even go through you?! which is RIGHT. i never dealt with the collections people, and never even talked to them til after everything was paid!!!! so i was just like whatever. i was about to tell the collection lady she could turn me into herself cause i wasn't paying no damn $29!!

then later when i was talking to my cousin, i thought of another thing i should have said. i should have said, i just did YOUR job by contacting cingular, to get all this mess settled, so that should be my payment of $29!!!! how are they going to charge me when i got the whole thing settled, and apparently their 2nd payment for them. fuck those people!!! i know it sounds petty over $29. but fuck them!!! if/when i really have to, i'll probaby have to suck it up and pay them.

so no nap for me today! and my child........he was so freaking hyper!!!! i mean he usually is. about 7-7:30 he gets this burst of energy and all he does is jump and crawl all over me. it drives me insane. i mean it is cute and all, but then i usually end up hurt, then i am pissed. thankfully tonight for some reason, bob was getting the brunt of it all. and it was cute to WATCH, for a change!! haha!!

he was right out though, when i finally put him down.

i know you all aren't going to believe i am saying this, but i wish he would start getting up earlier. now, i don't get up unless i HAVE to, so..........he hasn't been getting up lately til 8:30. so then its no wonder he doesn't want to go to sleep at 1-1:30. it takes him well past 2 to finally go to sleep, then he doesn't get up til almost 4:30-5, so it is really no wonder he doesn't want to go to sleep at 9! i'd love to go back to the 12:30 nap. then he was usually up by 3. i keep telling myself i have to get up earlier, then he will get up, but seriously folks, that ain't happening right now! like i keep saying, in a year, if there is a new baby, THEN i won't have a choice, so i will.

i also think it will be better once it gets nice out and i can take him out to spend all the energy he has....tire the kid out!

oh and did i mention how cute he is?! no, well then......HE IS SO CUTE****pictures below for proof!!! :) even when he doesn't nap!


i gave him some koolaid for like the first time today. MY GOD, you would have thought i gave him baby cat nip or something. he sucked that down like you wouldn't believe, then was all "please, please, please, please, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" til i gave him some more! lord, what have i done?!

well believe it or not, i am about to go to bed. and it is only 12:30!!!!! i have already read all my blogs for the night, my last stop was here to write to you all.

so have a good one! night!
