~9-4-06~ My baby is now 4!!!!

well, last weekend, my baby turned 4. FOUR YEARS OLD!!!!! i can't even believe that!!!!

we had his party on saturday. and of course it couldn't all go down without some neighbor drama!!!!!


well back at the shoot out in december (check the back posts), i let them use my chairs for their party. well i have never got them back!!! not to mention the 4 other green ones that i lent them before that and also NEVER got back! the reason they needed them is because their garage door opener is broken, so they cannot get the door up, and there is no access from the house.

so anyways.....i have been asking for my chairs since the beginning of the month. somehow now my chairs are stuck in this garage. HELLO, the reason they borrowed mine was because theirs were stuck in the garage!!!! anyways, so finally she came down the monday before the party. she said someone is supposed to be coming this week to get in the garage door. she even brought up about giving my money for chairs, blah, blah, blah.......

then the next thing i know she asked if we were still sponsering tasa. we were like huh?! then she said that tasa has us down as sponsers for her miss teen ohio pagent. so i was like, how much is that???????? she said whatever you can give. i was like, ok, bob gets paid thursday. then she left.

so then friday comes and one of them came to the door during dinner. so i yell ask for my chairs, then bob comes in with a letter, from the mom, to me. something to the effect that they still haven't beeb able to get to the chairs, she will send her son down with the chairs she does have in the house....then money to sponser tasa can be made by cash or a check made out the the mother, and i quote, "she is only $40 dollars away from her goal"

so, no sooner did i read the letter there is a knock at the door again, the youngest again, wanting to know my answer......huh?!?!?! my answer to what??????????

i said if you want a check i'll give it to you when the son brings my chairs down!!

so then they bring the chairs. which by the way i know are mine, at least 3 of them are mine for sure. then i gave them a check for $10. if they actually thought i was going to give them a check for $40 they are more nuts than i thought!!!!

so then about 15 minutes later, they bring the check back, saying that she made her sponser goal. what???????????? this all took place in less than a half hour! so whatever! i don't know if they were pissed that they didn't get $40, so they wanted none, who knows?!

so skip to the day of the party. the youngest comes over early and says that she doesn't know if they are going to be able to get something for clay. i don't know, she talks low and half the time i don't know what she was talking about. i had cleaning to do, so i went about getting ready for the party.

so people come, full house, then they show up. only 3 of them...the 3 oldest girls, 21 (and her daughter 2), 15, 11. so the 21 goes, i felt weird coming cause i didn't have time to get a gift, or something.......i don't know, i didn't even respond. granted that a party isn't all about the gifts, but come the fuck on! how do you go to a party without a gift?!?!?!?!?!

whatever.....so i tell everyone who is already there, to go ahead and eat. so people are eating, next thing i know, i go in the kitchen and they are wrapping up a bunch of food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am like what the fuck?!?!?!

then my mom gets me and tells me to hide the food, so they don't take anymore. i blew her off......next thing i know they are wrapping up more food!!!! then the 15 year old has the nerve to say her mom asked if i would make her a plate to send home. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!?!?!?!?!?

so me being non confrontational, and such a push over, i don't say anything. it is time for the cake.

so i cut the cake. give everyone theirs. asks if anyone else needs cake.....no, ok, so i get mine, go in the kitchen to get some milk, come back in the dining room and SHE IS THERE CUTTING MORE CAKE AND PUTTING IT ON PLATES TO TAKE HOME!!!!!!!!!!!

at this point i just went outside, cause i was waaaaaay beyond, what the fuck.

after we were outside for a bit, she comes to the door and says some lady in there is asking if i am going to hand out the goody bags. i just looked at her. like any of my family is going to ask that. by the way they already asked about the goody bags a few short minutes after they were there.

so then my mom comes and tells me to give them the damn bags so maybe they will leave.

so i go and i give one to the 11 year old, and one for the younger sister, 1 to the 21 year old for her daughter, and against my original plan i gave one to the 15 year old.

so they came out for a bit, then said their goodbyes.

so a bit after i came back in and my aunt told me they took more goody bags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i had 16 bags made out. i handed out 6 bags. guess how many i had left...........

6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY TOOK 4 MORE BAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

then about 10 minutes later came back and asked for a bag for her mom and her brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i DID say no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! didn't say what i wanted to say, but i did say no!


who in the world has that nerve?!?!?!? and you really can't blame those girls. if that is how they were taught growing up!!!!!!

so i had to hear it from my family all day!!! oh well, i am sooooo over those people. really!!!



on to the good stuff. clay had a great day!!! he got a ton of nice stuff. and even though i wasn't going to spend money on him, except for his school clothes, i broke down and bought him one of those motorized cars. it is just a little one, since we don't have much room in our yard. but it is a huge hit. he loves it!!!!

i do have pictures to show you all, but i have to edit them, they all have the red eye for some reason.


then tuesday, in a day....my baby starts school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am really stressing!!! i know it is only 2 days a week, for 2 1/2 hours, but i am going to miss him. i know he going to have fun, but i am going to miss seeing him have the fun!!!

i am planning on being productive though. i have a ton of stuff i want to start listing on ebay. so i am going to use that alone time to get that all up and running.

so there is what i have been up to!! hope you all have been well. i'll post some pictures soon!
