Happy Thursday my lovelies!!
Last day of school for a while. Spring Break starts for the kids tomorrow. I know they are both really excited. Scott has a job lined up for a few days. Our neighbors are having a gazebo built by their DD's FIL. (get all that?
) and he knows scott from when he helped him when they had to take a huge tree down a few months ago. He asked if Scott wanted to help and get some $$. Scott says that he would love to help, but not for money, just because he likes our neighbors. (Good kids, right?) At the same time, I told him that if it was a jib, then he needed to 1. treat is as such and be responsible and hard working and 2. accepting the money with thanks, but know it is in return for a job well done. Not to mention he is getting my parents old car soon and he is going to need to save up for gas and insurance.
My parents bought a new car and asked if we wanted their old one for Scott who will be driving this time next year. Heck yeah! Until he becomes primary driver, we can keep it minimally insured for $40/month. No way we would be able to afford a decent, well cared for car otherwise.
All School Fair was cool. Its sort of like an Open House/Back to school night but since it is at the end of the year, the kids all do neat projects and displays. I took Cait and her BFF and it is cute to see them together. Too bad that they were racing ahead of me and I was struggling to keep up. Then we watched a few volleyball games, that they run to raise money for a Lymphoma charity. The winner of the kids' teams get to play against the teachers.
Today is (hopefully) going to be a bit more relaxing. We have a phone appt with the new case mgr for our mortgage re-modification. What a nightmare/scam this has been. I swear that the mortgage company is literally losing things on purpose so we give up the request. When we did the addition on our house it was right before Gary got sick. If we had known we would be taking such a financial hit, we would have done something different. Don't know what, we were doing "bare bones" as it was... but regardless.....
Anyway, if the ridiculous mortgage company asks for Gary's "proof" of disability one more time...... along with asking us every month for our Divorce Decree...... gah!!!!
And that doesn't express the panic I felt when they sent us a letter saying we were in foreclosure (even though we have never been late on a payment). I always joke that my next profession should be meteorologist- because its the only job were you can be so wrong and still have a job- but maybe I would rather be a loan officer for a huge mortgage co. Then I can just send papers to people all willy-nilly just to watch them freak out. It would be like "April Fools" every day! Sweeeeeet!! :madgrin:
hahaahaaaa, I really can be a brat
Temptation on Thursday
Anyone have a credit card to lend me? I could really use a vavcation somewhere warm and isolated. :music:
