I'm here, happy new year everyone, our's was pretty quiet. Steve and I are getting really really sick of our new neighbors. Ours is a very long bungalow that has been turned into 2 houses, When I moved here 6 yrs ago, the person who rented the front house had been here 10 yrs and was very laid back. She had an obnoxious dog who was a pain in the ass, but other than that she and her daughter were the perfect neighbors, if we ever had to go out at night we could always trust her to put the cat inside if he showed up after dark, basically we did for her and she did for us--as is pretty much the norm in the country. These people have moved here from the city and it's pretty obvious they have NO concept of country life. The parking area in front of the house can accomadate roughly 8 cars, with Mary (old neighbor) she parked on one side, we parked on the other and the middle was for any guests who may arrive. Pretty simple, these people have sectioned off "their" parking area, leaving us with ONLY 2 spots and if we have company, they would feel they were blatently parking in someone else's spot if they parked anywhere other than directly behind our spots. Then to top it off, we came home last night after going out to dinner to find they had guests parked in our spot and blocking the entrance to the driveway so we were forced to knock on their door and wait while they figured out which idiots were blocking us (no small feat) Anyway, I'm just sick of it, our furnace is in their basement and they refuse to give us a key to their house--once the baby is here I will insist on it through the landlord as I'm not taking a chance on the furnance going out and them not being home for 10 hrs. When they first arrived he kept talking about how his 6 yr old son will love walking through the bush area that is beside the house--meanwhile, this area is half swamp and FULL of various wildlife--including the fact that a mountain lion has been spotted in there many times for a number of yrs. Yeah, sounds like the perfect environment for a 6 yr old to play!! Then their kids keep playing on the wooden jungle gym that is directly outside our front door, there is a treehouse thing in it which currently belongs to our cat, it is a safe and dry place for him if he's outside after dark or it starts raining. Coyotes can't get him, etc etc. He has a bed in there and food and water dishes--these peoples kids keep taking his stuff out and throwing it on the ground!!!! Just rude all round and we're not happy, we never had a single problem with our old neighbors, I mean there is afterall over 30 acres to share, there should be room for both of us!
Rant over.
I have agreed to go on bedrest as of next week so I won't need to take any pain killers and hopefully my blood pressure won't go through the roof on me.
I can't wait until this little one is born!!!!

It's hard to take during these hormonal times.
