Today was such a long day. I have been so into watching stuff on Netflix that I haven't been sleeping as much as I should. I'm not worried about it. It is the weekend after all. I made my husband a nice breakfast and sent him off to work. But he was only a few yards from the apartment building before I yelled for him to come back. I wanted him to leave his phone so that I could call mom. Something just told me that I needed to. Well I am glad I did. Evidently "someone" broke in to her home. She is pretty sure it was her neighbor and his family. They stole her brand new 47" TV that she had just got a couple days ago. Her neighbor was the only one who knew about it. And the way her house is situated nobody could have seen it come in when she brought it home. Which also means nobody saw it go out either. But my mom's horrible week boils down to her shady neighbor up and moving most of his belongings today between my mom walking around her property. He would dart in the house when she came out. The cop that came Friday night hardly took any notes and took 0 pictures of the muddy footprints that were in the back bedroom. They came in through the window in my old bedroom and tracked mud through the room. Also she heard what she thought was her cats being rambunctious Thursday night around midnight and it turns out the neighbor's daughter had been hiding in the house till my mom went to bed. She heard a cabinet door shut and a couple of her cats scramble. She thought they were playing. She looked in there Friday night and all of the old mason jars that I had put in there in the back corner had been moved and there was enough room for a small woman to hide. And the neighbor's daughter is a small woman. The bitch also stole some of my mom's clothes as well as my grandfather's watch and harmonica. My mom's also missing some tools and the battery that went in the van my husband and I had. Sadly based on the way the cop treated her I doubt they even care. It's not so much that things are missing but that there was people in her home uninvited touching her stuff. Even I don't go in my mother's room. And I sure as hell don't mess with her stuff. *sigh* I got the number for ADT for her and they are coming Wednesday to install a wireless monitoring system.
Anyways, enough bad news. I did find a car online that I liked. A used Nissan Sentra with only 32k miles on it for less than 7k. Looks good and was taken care of. I definitely want to see it. Mom says that if everything goes well with the break in situation she will see about helping us get it. This whole car-less thing we have been doing is old now. I would like to be able to go to the store with my husband instead of making my mom take me. I'd like to go for a drive and visit family without needing my mom to drive. I feel like I need to reconnect with my relatives and see them more. But I can't get anywhere unless mom takes me. *sigh* So I'm really hoping to get it.
I did have a project for myself tonight. I saw that Walgreens had a special on prints that ended today. If you get 50+ you get them for 10 cents instead of 15 cents. I put an order in for about 120. lol. I printed some wedding photos for my album and for my aunt. We had a really simple wedding with a few friends snapping pics here and there. We couldn't afford a photographer. But it's not the wedding that makes the marriage so it's not a big deal. But one of my favorite aunts couldn't get the day off to come to the wedding. She was worried that if she even asked she would lose her job. Which is sad. So I got a 2nd set of copies for her and put them in an album to give to her. The album is cute and pink. It's a smaller one that has a single pocket per page with a couple of lines for a description. So it's perfect. My cousin is coming over tomorrow to visit and pick it up for his mom. I'm excited about giving it to her. I also put out some new family photos. They are all recent and I am so happy. I love being surrounded by the faces of people that I love. If I had it my way the whole wall would be a cork board with photos and little momentos pinned to it. The kind of stuff that you can point to and giggle. Sadly printing out all of these pictures and going through them to put them out only makes me want more. MORE PICTURES!!!!!
