I effin' hate living back at my parents place...when we moved back in I thought this would be great, Rich and I wouldn't have any bills besides visa payments and no rent so we'd be able to save up for our own house reasonably quick, not once did I think about how noisy it would be with living with 3 other people 2 of which are always awake at 6:00am or before...Rich and my bedroom is in the basement right next to the stairs and our bed is on the wall next to the stairs and every morning all I can hear is people thumping up and down the stairs and walking around up stairs right above us and then the dogs start tearing around it's ridiculous, I swear everyone in this house is flat footed!! I hate being grumpy in the morning and when Rich and I had our own place I never woke up grumpy but since we moved back into my parents place I've woken up grumpy every single morning and no matter how hard I try not to be grumpy it makes me twice as grumpy...like this morning it was one thing after another --> my mom and dad were stomping around the kitchen, my mom runs down the stairs, our puppy wakes up and starts whinning, Rich's alarm goes off, Rich lets the puppy out of our room and he runs up the stairs and starts playing with the other dog, my mom runs up the stairs again, the dogs start barking so mom lets them out, the run around to our bedroom window and start barking, my mom runs back down the stairs, our kitten starts meowing and clawing at our door and my mom starts calling him over, so I finally let him into the room to try and stop the meowing, the kitten gets on the bed and under the covers with me and I thought he was going to fall asleep...not so much..the kitten starts purring as loud as possible and licking my nose so without thinking I thru him on to the floor and he gets back up, then Rich gets out of the shower and comes thumping down the stairs and turns on the light in the bedroom and says "Good morning sweetie" my response "Fuck off, everyone just fuck right off!" and I crawled out of bed grabbed a smoke and went out to the garage and just sat there, Rich came out to the garage a couple mins later and tried to calm me down (which didn't work) so he left for work and I crawled back into bed, at about 7:00am or just after everybody seemed to quiet down so I fell back asleep for about half an hour and I'm still in a rotten mood....I don't work until 4:30pm today and all I wanted to do was have an undisturbed sleep until 8:00am that's all just 8:00am was that really too much to ask for?! Obviously! as soon as I get my first paycheck I'm opening our joint bank account and everyone of my checks in whole except $20 out of each is going into that effin' bank account, I plan on saving up as much as possible as soon as possible!!

I had a great birthday last Saturday and Sunday (Sunday the 26th being my actual birthday)...on Saturday night Rich gave me my birthday present it's this beautiful gold ring with an opal in the middle and 2 little rubbies one on each side of the opal, I love it! and that night we also had a bunch of people over there was like 30 people here and everyone left at 12:00am which was nice, so Rich and I cleaned up the glasses and beer cans and bottles, put out the fire and then we sat inside and had some time to ourselves...on Sunday we woke up early and went to the Toronto zoo with Mandy and Jeremy, we left the zoo at 3:30pm and went to the Manderin restaurant in Oshawa which was really good and filling then we went home for a bit and then up to Tim Hortons. so all in all not too bad.
On Wednesday we went to Rich's sisters house for his parents aniversery dinner and of course that was super exciting (blah) ... his mom says "so tell me about this dog of yours..what kind is it?" so we tell her it's a mix between a golden lab and a pitt-bull but it looks more pitt-bull than anything and even tho she looked disgusted by the word pitt-bull we told her a bit more about him and do you know what she says?! ... she says "Well you should take it back to the shelter and just explain to them that you don't think you're ready for a dog and this one wasn't right for you." Rich says "But we want the dog, he's a good dog. Plus we didn't pay for him, Kandis' parents got him for us as a birthday present for both of us." it's like she only heard the last bit of what Rich said and she response with "You know Richard there's no harm in saying no to someone even if it's to a present...you can still tell Kandis' parents thank you but we're not ready for a dog." Rich just said "There's no point in talking to you about this because you're not listening. We want the dog!".....Rich is 26 years old and his mother talks to him like he's 10 years old, the whole time we were there she was telling him what to do and how to do it...like she brought all of his police info to give to him and she was telling him to be careful with it and not to take it out of the brown envelope until he needs them and not to ruin them and to keep drinks away from them, and she told him to give them back to her when he's down with his police applications, like she doesn't trust him with that stuff, he's 26 and it's his police stuff not hers but no he's not allowed to touch it....she has 3 filing cabinets at her place full of stuff Rich has done since he was little and school stuff that he is not allowed to touch unless he asks her first. It's so stupid, I was ready to say something to her that night because of the way she was talking to him it was making me so angry.
Anyways I should get going.
