Crazy eights

I am crabby......
I shouldn't be, I finally got my period so it's on to more drugs! This is exciting, I like moving forward. I have my baseline today, and will start back up with injections tomorrow night.

I am not PMS crabby, I am crabby about our house. We love having a home, feel lucky to have a part of "The American dream"......especially in this economy! But I just don't like our house, and I never have. We have been here almost 2 years, and I still miss our rented town house on the other side of the county. The responsibility isn't so bad, it's the house and the neighborhood. Most of all it is the neighbors, they are too close. I feel surrounded, and it drives me nuts! We have a ranch, and I don't like not having an "upstairs". Nobody really understands my issue with it. My mom thinks it is a great home with wonderful curb appeal. My dad just thinks it is a fabulous house, especially a first house. We do live in a nice safe suburban neighborhood, I will give it that. Two of the houses by us have a combined count of 6 kids, the families are great friends and always at one of the houses. These children are between 2 1/2 and 8, and think that EVERYONES yard is theirs to play in. Now I don't blame the kids, I blame the parents. 3 of the younger kids (under 4 yrs) can be seen at any given time (well, when it is hot out) in the front yards naked. Yes, totally naked....boys and girls. I have a major issue with this, mainly since it is in the front yard. Playing on those motorized big wheel things, naked! Walking to the mailbox with mom, naked! Chasing a ball into our yard, naked! It has been all summer, not just a week to potty train or whatever. I don't think it has anything to do with that. Both families have fenced in back yards, but all their crap is out front. I swear, they drive me nuts. Luckily we are friends with our other neighbor, whom has grown children and is equally annoyed at the nakedness.

One a totally different topic, I have been off work all week. DJ had to work, so it was me and the furry members of the house. I checked several books from the library, and haven't picked up one. I have to return to work on Monday, boo. I did try and do nothing one day, but just couldn't sit still. I have done a ton around the house, inside and out (nope, still don't like it). Our pup has been spoiled rotten with attention and having someone at home. Poor thing will be confused next week when left alone 2 days. He has no idea how good he has it with us having a day off mid week, going to work with me a day, and going to doggy day camp one day. Spoiled DJ says.......Loved I say.

8-8-08........I wanted to go to the spa to mark this day, instead I get a date with a wand and a chipper nurse.
