Being a landlord.....

Being a landlord means...
* you have to depend on someone else to take care of your property
* even when you think you have some extra money and can start x mas shopping a little early everything can change with one little phone call.
* spending money you don't have nor want to spend on a place you don't even want to own anymore.
uhhhgggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so frustrated right now! Our renters happened to mention (last week) that despite a $200 electric bill the house doesn't ever seem to warm up nor cool in the summer. (I wish they would have mentioned it sooner) So we had someone take a look at the ducting under the house. Needless to say it was torn and broken by rodents (downside to having an empty house for 4 months this spring while trying to get it sold.) Okay so how much to fix it, I asked.
$3200 for galvanized ducting so they can't chew threw it. WHAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTT? Thats more than they (same company) charged us to replace the furnace/ airconditioner and put in some new ducting 4 yrs ago. I want to cry and scream at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to Me, the MOM!

Well I turned 30 today! Uhgg, kinda anticlimatic. Don't feel any different and I remind myself I will always be younger than Doug! he.he... (and most of my friends, which I remind them of often). Anyway I slept most of the day away because i worked last night and have to work tonight also. Brenna says Daddy, Carlee and her are taking me to dinner. hmmmm...what sounds good?

Me and my girls! I can't believe they are 6 and 3 yrs old. The time seems to go faster and faster these days.

Happy Birthday to Carlee!!!!!

Carlee turned 3 yrs old on Monday! She had a fabulous birthday weekend. Grandma Debbie visited on Friday and we celebrated a little with her. Then Saturday was Halloween and we had a great day with Kim and Caiman trick-or-treating downtown, having dinner at Denny's, trick-or-treating at the EOU dorms then going to the kids carnival at LG high school. Sunday we had a birthday lunch with Auntie Kor, Vic, Cody, Uncle Ty, Kayla, Josh and Grandma Tammy. She kept asking "is today my birthday mama?" and I would have to tell her it was a birthday party but her actual birthday was a different day. Needless to say a little confusing when you're only 3.
