annoyed!!

maybe i am sleep deprived!
i feel unreasonably cranky this morning!
i have had company all weekend. not the bad kind of company, the kind of company you would like to have. the fun kind.
my girlfrined bekah has been here since friday.we haven't done much but cook and drink wine and talk and play with teege. oh, and we watched some movies yesterday.
she's going home sometime today i think.
it's been nice to have someone in the house that stays up later than 7pm and can talk back to me.

teege is supposed to be taking a nap. he's been wailing off and on for the past 15 minutes. i got him up once b/c he was carrying on so! we read a little bit out of a Mrs.piggle-wiggle book. then i laid him back down. he's finally being quiet.

oh.my neighbor.
i'm watching their pets while they are at the coast this weekend.
normally this would be an easy task. it's always been pretty simple before. but this time i have to drag the baby with me next door, and it takes longer to square things away at their hous than it used to.
they have always had 3 dogs and 3 cats. feed them, water them, let them out to potty......that sort of thing.
now, on top of that they hage a gerbil!!! and 2 gardens that they would like watered twice a day.
gimmie a break! you're not paying me!
she promised she'd clean the gerbil cage before they left. she didn't. and when i went in to check on him last night he had no water! the bottle was completely dry!!
i called her right away. "is the water bottle for the gerbil this plastic blue thing?"
"yea,just squeeze the old water out and fill it up with fresh."
"it's empty. that's why i called.i wasn't sure what it was for b/c there's nothining in it.it's bone dry."
"is it leaking?i filled it up the other day"
"no, it doesn't appear to be. i'll keep an eye on it."
i filled up the water, made sure it WASN'T leaking, thought to myslef "screw the friggin gardens tonight!" and came home after i tucked the dogs and cats in for the night.
i checked the gerbil's water again this morning. still full to the top!
this explains why most of the time when she watches my animals i come home and THEY don't have any water.
oops! i forgot to feed her fish. i'll get them tonight i guess.
and on top of all of that there isn't enough dog food to get us thru to next weekend. i've looked around for a new bag in their garage.i don't see any. i hope she bought some more and it's just not out in an obvious place b/c i really don't feel like going out to buy her any.
they've been planning this for a while, it just seems like they left in a hurry and left things at home for me to deal with.
that's ok.
the last time i was gone - for 5 DAY! - i asked her to scoop the cat box atleats twice. i even left her a note! she didn't do it. oh, and she only left clean water outside. hello,the spend time inside too! and it's hot. the bowl is right there. you can't miss it. fill it up!
AND, she mentioned the other day when i told her how chewy woke me up at 6 30 b/c he had to go potty she said "oh. that's funny he had to go out that early b/c i never come over before 11 when to let them out when you're gone."
"well if you let them go potty before bed it's not so bad but he didn't go the night before. and they can't go all night and til 11 the next morning without being uncomfortable. they won't go in the house. but the need to go out before then?"
i wanted to shake her and say "what's the first thing you do when you get up in the morning? don't you go pee? how'd you like it if i locked you in a cage and didn't let you out to pee til 11 am?"
but i kept my mouth shut.
she's getting out of hand with her kid and how irresponsible she is when she watches my dogs. i'm going to have to say something before too long. i have put up with years of this and i am done!

on a lighter note:
i got to talk to TJ this weekend!
he sounded GREAT!
he said things aren't near as bad as he thought they would be. and i was so relievedto hear that. i knew he was prepairing for the worst so that it would be a nice surprise if it wasn't that bad.
i'm so glad he's doing good!
he had to hand his phone back over at the end of the day saturday, and he said it might be next weekend before he got to call again.
but the important thing is that his doing so well and he's past the hardest part!
there's only 6 more weeks and then he'll be home!! YAY!

well i guess that's all i know for now!
my company is still in bed. it's 11 am. how nice is that??!!!!! i am almost jealous! though i would have a very hard time sleeping in that late. oh how i miss my days of sleeping in! but having teege around makes it worth it! and he sleeps til atleast 8, that's pretty good i think!
