MERRY CHRISTMAS

anyone want roommates

I have just had it w/my new place. I was so excited to be in a townhome that I could afford w/two levels (I really do like the two level feature!), but my joy was short lived. So far since moving in, I've gone a total of 3wks w/out hot water, 1wk w/no central a/c, 1wk w/everything stuffed in my kitchen waiting for new carpet bc they flooded my downstairs and did nothing about it but let it mildew, and then I got neighbors. They like to party and liked to take my parking spots. After a month of fighting to have a spot to park, I finally got management to step in and do something. Things have been ok, not good, but ok for a month or so now. But, w/all this snow, it's like people just get dumb. For a week now, I've had a parking spot but it's been barely big enough to get my car in, let alone get my kids out. Tonight, I FINALLY got to park b4 they parked next to me so that I was able to actually get a good space, but I just want out of this place SO BAD!!! I'm on the verge of losing what little sanity I have left...lol

Christmas Program/Christmas Tree

Today was Jaden's first Christmas program at church. My mom, sisters, brother-in-law, and friend Christine from work all came to watch. It wasn't much. Just 5 songs that really didn't appear to be that well rehearsed, but it was still cute. Then, after we got home, we decorated the Christmas tree. You can tell it was decorated by a 3 & 2 yr old by the final picture bc the majority of the decorations are on the bottom...lol. FINALLY, I was able to add pictures....










and yes, if you can't tell by the last picture, I did cut my hair!

it figures!

It totally figures that right after getting brand new tires on my car, that I would get in an accident. Monday, after picking up the boys, I was driving down Nazareth which was a sheet of ice as were all the roads, and I saw it coming. There was a car coming down the road that was just FLYING, and he didn't slow down. He rear ended me and then sped off when I pulled over. The cops were worthless. They didn't even take down my name and number. I was SO frustrated. Thankfully, the boys and I are ok. I couldn't see anything other than paint off the bumper, but I decided to have my insurance company come look at it just to be safe. The guy told me to bring my title bc if it was too bad, due to the age of the car, they'd just total it out and give me the value. The guy met me at my work, and from the parking lot inspected my car and wrote me a check to get it fixed! So, I plan on having Brian look at it to see how bad it really is. If it really is an issue, I'll have to get it fixed. If it's not a problem, my choices are to sell the car and combine the money to get a new vehicle or to use the money for a downpayment and try to get out of my lease and into somewhere new. brian is supposed to look at it this wkend and let me know what he thinks. I just can't believe my luck!
