GRRRRRRR.....



Well today started off fine...Mom's in Touch began meeting today and I do enjoy that, then off to try and find new bras, no winner, but still a good day, home to chat with the man in blue, that was good and the whole test phone call worked so that was great, then the mail came and that is where it went down hill. Our mortgage's escrow account falls short again this year...why, you ask, well our property taxes have gone up dramatically! Oh yeah, I sooooooo love this, NOT! Anyway, I get to deliver nearly $200.00 to our mortgage company so that our taxes and insurance can be paid without a deficit and on top of that our monthly payment goes up again by about 10 bucks this year, lovely!


So, Little Blue gets home and she also has a grrrrrr...they are reading Dracula....so far it is not pleasant, she in not enjoying it and there is a quiz on Friday over the first 12 chapters, yeah, great....grrrrrrr. So we worked on the study guide and have made it through the first two pages of questions for the first 6 chapters that I have no idea where they got these questions and it took indepth reading, re-reading, internet searching and lots of discussions before the questions had at least some sort of qualifying answer. Oh, I am soooooo looking forward to English this year, yeah, NOT!


Anyway, that's just a little taste of my world today...and thankfully, a new day dawns tomorrow!

Dracula...what will they think of next? How about the Bible...good choice if you ask me.

As for the increase in housing/mortgage, that's the way the market is going. At least it was only $200.
