Well, I wanted to post pictures, but I loaded them on to our desktop and when I went to upload them they were not there. So, no pics this week again. Sorry.
BUT! As I type, they are putting down tar for our new road. MAJOR construction has been going on for 3 months! I mean major. We've been parking on another street and walking home, I've been blocked in the driveway for the whole day a few times. And for the last 2 weeks we've bad bunkers infront of us. I swear, I really want to know why they take one pile of dirt, move it here, then push it there and then move it back to where it started from. I think they are just bored. OH! And did I mention they've been starting at 6:45 in the a.m. then stopping when its dark. Oh and they eat lunch in my front yard!
Like 12 guys sitting on my lawn, dead lawn infact because they broke our sprinklers. They also filled up a water truck using my neighbors hose and told them not to complain because they were getting a new sewer system. AND they knocked down an 800 sq ft addition to another neighbors house and don't have to put it back up. BECAUSE IT WAS ILLEGAL! When they bought the house they didn't verify the square footage and thats why. So now these poor people have a 800 sq ft sun room! Get your permits people!
They did drive a backhoe into our backyard, they took down the fence. They also used a trencher and a tractor. That was exciting. One very positive thing that happened was I have had to meet alot more of our neighbors. And one very nice older man, who is in charge of our neighborhood watch has made sure that they construction company will fix our sprinklers. He was so kind. He asked me if I was comfortable doing that since I was home by myself with the girls. Truth is, I wasn't so he has taken over for me. I'm sure that sounds a little crazy, but I have known his sweet wife for a while now. She's a l&d nurse up here so she has loved watching my girls grow up.
I'm still trying to conjure up a way for them to pay to have my couches, carpet, windows and blinds cleaned. Its so bad. I can't keep up with the mess.
So to get over it, I'm going to Tahoe. I leave this Saturday at 4 am.... wahooooooooooo! Its the first time I've been away from Billy for more than 1 night. Crazy.
Anyway, in a few weeks I'll post pictures of our wonderful, shopping, hiking, playing and snowmobiling adventures! Tahoe here we come!

Sounds awful! They starting paving our street a few months ago and I complained about it every day for a week. Then they abruptly stopped and never came back. Now I complain that they never finished. There is no pleasing me!
