Let me see..... Today was much like all the rest except we have the new dog of course. Howie is faring well and adjusting to S&M much better today. Holly Elise is on an overnight feild trip with school so it is just Ernie, the animals and I. After dinner we disucssed things for the dogs, and he played video games wich is something he rarely does. I of course was online looking at pet supplies.
Then when Ernie went to bed 6:40ish. We all * us and the two dogs* piled into the big king sized bed and played and laughed and cuddled for about 20 minutes. Then the dogs and I went on our first walk together as a three some! It was interesting to see how well Howie and Lilly do together on the leads.
We had a good walk and the neighbor kids didn't try to follow after I told them I wanted to be alone with my dogs.
These kids are very nosey! I thought that kids just had a natural curosity but these kids are just flat out nosey! The were asking me how much I pay for my house and my animals and how much we spend on food. Very nosey kids. Of course I tell them that those things are non of their business and that when they grow up and get a life of their own they will understand why I don't have to answer their questions.....
The little girl Dawn says that I should have to answer her questions because that's what grown up's are supposed to do. I told her that if her parents hadn't taught her better than that it was not my problem but my finances were none of her, or her family's business!
I was so angry. WE have done loads to help this family since they moved in next door. We gave them furniture, dishes, clothes and have let them use our phone hundreds of times. They have no consideration for the fact that our phones are cell phones and that during the day we are paying for each minute they use. The mother makes 5-7 phone calls at a time sometime. So I started telling her if she needed to use the phone she had to be in the house and she had to keep it short.
Having neighbors that habitually try to take advantage of you is truly annoying! I am so tired of listening to them fight and then trying to be nice to them because I know that it is what's right to do.
I mean I am still nice to them and try to be a good Christian toward them by showing them kindness and hospitality, but my niceness only goes so far when I know these people are trying to use me!
For the longest time they treated us like we were Blockbuster video. The dad would send his kids over to "borrow" movies and tell them to pick them out. So when the kids would pick movies we suggested or that they would like he would send them back and say he didn't want to see that movie. So I finally told them that if their dad wanted to borrow a movie he needed to come pick them out himself. That stoped the movie borrowing!
Okay that is enought about my scarry neighbors. I'll get off that soapbox now! LOL
Well I guess it is off to clean the kitchen and them maybe a soak in the bath or even to work on my blanket for a while.
God Bless and have a good weekend!
Don't forget to keep praying for all the suvivors of Katrina!
