What a weekend!

It was busy and tiring, but productive. It started friday night when Clinton brought CJ's truck back. Then we stayed up til 3am talking and the kids were up at 6:42am on saturday morning. Ugh! Tanner had two baseball games saturday and we won both of them. He is making steady improvments. He hit the ball really well and is actually starting to try and make the play instead of just standing in his position watching everyone else. yah! His usual positions are catcher and right field, but we were so far ahead in the second game that the coach put him in at 2nd base and he was SO excited. It was cool to watch him.
In between games we got our flower beds weeded. That's great because they needed it bad.
On sunday we relaxed in the morning. Got to sleep until 8am - yippee! But then we got to work. CJ got the grass mowed. I got several loads of laundry done. We worked together and pulled weeds from the garden. CJ did a landscape job last week and had a few leftover plants so we put those in the flower beds and of course we watched the race. All in all a wonderful weekend. Hope you enjoyed yours!

What a great weekend!

It started out saturday with a dual birthday party/Easter celebration with our friends. Happy 6th Birthday to Eric and 7th Birthday to Sarah! I made race car cakes for each of them (at their request of course). Sarah got a hot pink Hot Wheel car and Eric wanted a camo #88 Dale Jr National Guard car. I forgot my camera but my friends took pictures. I'll have to post them later. In addition to the birthday celebration we did an Easter egg hunt and played, and played, and played.
We enjoyed a very nice day together as a family on sunday. The Easter Bunny did not disappoint! New swim suits, beach towels, and flip flops to go along with entirely too much candy! CJ took Tanner fishing and Tanner caught two fish to CJ's one. Go Tanner! All in all a great, relaxing, wonderful family day. We needed it. HAPPY EASTER!

Wants to throw up, but instead I'll blog.

So, last week we put an ad in the Hood Co paper looking for two new crew members. CJ had a different guy with him each day last week only to decide at the end of the week that he was probably going to quit Cheldan Homes because they owe us a TON of money and we haven't gotten a significant check in over a month. So, if we're not going to mow Cheldan any more then we definately don't need two new guys.
Also, last week a new property management team took over at the townhomes we do in Weatherford. Seemed like everything was OK. The new manager called to introduce herself to us last Thursday then today I get an e-mail, an E-MAIL, saying that they no longer require our services and since no formal contract was signed no 30 day notice is required. We're done. Today.
(vomit) Well, you know what I got to say. It may not be required but it sure would have been NICE and I'm sorry you just let the most honest, hard-working, consciencious, and truly concerned for YOU businessman go for no apparent reason! You'll never find someone who'll take as good of care of that property as us. So there!
