A qucik update

The boys are back from Ohio. They spent a week there, hanging out at Marty's dad's place at the lake, my mom's house and my brother's house. They had a great time, but are glad to be home.

Nothing exciting or even notable happened while they were gone. Marty and I got a glimpse into our life 7-8 years down the road and it was... strange. I'm sure that once it is our life "forever" and not just a week, it will be less boring.

I am looking at doing before and after school care. The good part is that the pay around here is really good. A woman I know was telling me that she made $365 a week for two kids. The bad part is that most of the people around here expect a nanny instead of just a place for their kids to hang out and do homework until they get home from work. I am going to look into it and see what I can find out.

I had to complain about the people upstairs again. One of the girls flicked a lit cigarette over the balcony, into the yard right in front of our patio. I was not happy. I talked to her and explained that I understand that she probably just didn't realize that people use the yard, blah, blah, blah... She apologized and it hasn't happened since. The problem is that once the other two roommates got here all hell broke lose. They are loud, obnoxious and just damn rude.

I guess they don't realize that when they say "Oh, she thinks we are making too much noise??" (The manager has talked to them about the noise) and then STOMP LOUDLY and then laugh that I can hear them. Oh to be 19 and stupid again.

The last straw was when they did it is 2:43 am in the bedroom right above ours. It was not the first time it happened. The manager was pretty pissed when I told her about it the next morning. She said she will send them a letter letting them know that this was their one chance and the next time she will call the police and their co-signers, and that she can and will evict them if they don't stop. Remind me not to piss her off.

As a side note, the manager said "You pay too much money to have to deal with that." She is the third employee here that has said that to me, so I am beginning to think we didn't comparison shop enough.

Anyway, since the letter it has been a lot better. They are still loud during the day but I can live with that. It is the middle of the night crap that I won't tolerate.
