I have just been working this week. We had some contractors here doing duct work earlier this week. They were cool & one of the guys was the brother of the owner of the house. So we know the work was done right & then he would find a few other little things that needed fixing and take care of it.
Meeting them confirmed that we made the right choice to move here & we are extremely happy we moved, cuz we are dealing with a much better landlord & I feel as if they will not screw us over as the last one did……..which is a story for another time.. If we never see her again, it would be too soon.
Mom & Dad left for Tahiti last Saturday & should be coming home tomorrow. I can’t wait for that. I’m hoping that they had a great time, they have earned it. But with the kids with someone I don’t know…….just makes me nervous. And it didn’t start out on a positive note on my end.
Dad called from LA while they were waiting for their connection and he had said that he had tried to call home but it went straight to voicemail. That usually means that someone is online, pc wise, or on the phone. I told him I’d try to call for him later since I was planning on calling every few days anyway to check up on them.
I had talked to dad around 14:30 & then I tried to call for about 5 hours following…..I was getting mad. I was thinking they were online the whole time. Luckily, I had dad give me Donna’s cell phone # and I was able to get ahold of her. She was on her way home & was going to call me back when she got there and found out what was going on. In the end there was a phone off the hook in the house. Mom & Dad have a big house…….heck, I don’t even know what light switches go to where, that is why they are labeled…….lol When Donna called back to see if there was any other phones they didn’t know about I suggested that there may be one in the basement where mom has her sewing stuff & the kids play….sure enough that was the one.
You want to talk about a stress reliever……wow….. I was about to get online and buy Harold or myself a plane ticket to head up and check on the kids…….but he didn’t know that….until now……….lol
Needles to say, I’ll be happy to hear mom & dad’s voice tomorrow when they hit the states. It pretty much comes down to that I don’t know the girl and I’m terriorial/protective when it comes to my family.
I can’t wait to see the pictures from mom & dad…….grin
This coming Friday I’m heading back to Indiana for Amanda & Jason’s wedding. I can’t wait to see them & the rest of the family. I need to figure out what I’m going to wear, find time to get my nails done and pack. I also don’t know if I want to get them a gift or give them money. She had about 60 people at her bridal shower & dad told me that traditionally the bridal shower is more for gifts and wedding more for money…..so I don’t know……what do you think?
Need to head to bed….have an early day tomorrow. =)
