Today Sucked

I am usually a happy, upbeat, glass is 1/2 full type of person but today I was just the opposite. Nothing horrible happened. The day was just filled with an overwhelming amount of paper work, chores to be done, errands to run, little arguements with my husband, and his truck breaking down to top it all off. I know that there could be much worse things that could happen so I am working hard to pick up my mood and know that tommorow ( actually it is after midnight already) will be a better day.

Have Fun ... but not too much fun

It's 4 a.m. and Jen just left for the Outer Banks. She is spending the week there, and this is her first vacation away from home by herself (except for summer camps). I hope she has a great time. She maybe flying to Florida from there to go see Brendan... we will see what happens. He left on Thursday and she found a note on her car Friday morning from him with $100 in it to spend at the Outer Banks. He wants her to fly from there to Florida to visit him... he said he will pay for her air fair there and back home. It is all contingent on him having a couple of days off work and her summer camp that she is working at being canceled. We will see what happens. In any case I hope she goes and has a great time.... she deserves it!

Poor Jen

Tonight Jen's boy friend is leaving for Florida for good. He just graduated from college and accepted a job there. Jen is heart broken. I feel so bad for her.

Birthholations

Wow, so many birthdays/holidays/graduations at once. It all started with my Dad on June 5, then my son Joe on June 16, Father's Day on the 17th, then my husbands birthday on June 19, next my in-laws 50th anniversary on June 23, then graduation party (cousin's kid) on June 23, then birthday (nephew) on June 29, then graduation party on June 30 (nephew)........... Busy June Cha-ching!

The Hot Tub

OK... so we ordered the hot tub, had the electric run, poured a concrete pad, filled it up, waited for it to get hot and got in. Oh how relaxing but... then we noticed the wet area around the hot tub. At first we thought it was just wet from everyone getting in and out, then we thought maybe Buddy (our dog) peed on it. But after a couple of hours and then days we realized that it was a LEAK. Oh geez, so we call the company they send someone out, we have to drain the hot tub but when the repair man comes he says he doesn't have what he needs to fix it. Soooooo he comes back and puts some type of epoxy then we fill it back up and ..........it doesn't do the job! Ok so now he has to order parts, we wait a week and he comes back. Oh no wrong parts! So now they are sending parts to be shipped to our house so we wait another week and finally the parts arrive. Guess what? They shipped the wrong parts! So now the company sends out another guy to check things out. He come one day unannounced (lucky we were home) checks out the hot tub and says, "wow this is awful, you shouldn't be having all these problems!" He informs us he will contact the company and let them know that they should send us a now one. But here we are 2 weeks later with an empty hot tub and no word from anyone. I let you know what happens!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today my dad is 77. We had a nice family get together. We all went out to dinner and then back to mom and dad's for cake. I feel so lucky to have a great dad and now he is double 7's... maybe it will be his lucky year!

But Daddy I Want A Red Crossfire

This is Jen's new car, it is a Chrysler Crossfire and she bought it all herself! She keeps getting comments by passers byers saying "OHH Her Daddy Must Love Her!" It makes her sooooooooo mad. She works 2 jobs and goes to school full time and works very hard for all she has. It bothers her that people assume that her parents got her the car. Well Jen, it that's the worst of your problems don't worry. You're the only one you have to answer to!
