We are getting ready to start week 2 here at grandma's house without Brad, again.
It really isn't that hard, work-wise. Might be easier, actually. I don't have to put as much thought into what I fix for dinner, how I sleep in the bed, or what I do during the day. But we miss his presence. The kids miss their daddy.
We are still waiting to hear from the bank about the house we want. Our realtor doesn't know if the other offer he was told about was ever actually submitted. There has to have been some rules broken by the listing agent in all this but I digress. Maybe this week we will hear something. I know one thing, I can't take much more of this! I'm gaining so much weight from what seems like endless stress eating and my face looks like one big pimple right now. Not a pretty picture.
Brad is doing well at his new job. It's the same work and same boss he worked for up here for the first 7 or 8 years. Coming into a new job on the top is not easy tho. He is having to earn the respect of these other guys and prove himself. Which doesn't make sense to me since he is way better than them. I'm being serious here. His boss down there has been begging him to come work in NC for years. He is spending a lot of time fixing things that the guys down there either did wrong or couldn't do. Work is paying for him to stay in a hotel just south of Charlotte but he has worked out of town some, going 3 hours east of Charlotte and into South Carolina to work.
And that's about my life right now.

Neighbors
When Brad and I left our house 2 months ago, we moved in with the only next door neighbor we have had in the past 10 plus years.
Our new neighbors are young but so far they have been very nice, upstanding citizens. They go to work every day, come home in the evenings and wave to us when we are out in the yard and keep there dog on a chain when it is outside (that is rare around here).
When BRad and I came home from the Buck Dynasty event last weekend, it was very late for us. Our neighbors had at least 9 vehicles crammed into the 4 space parking in front of my dear old house. PARTY!! I was so sad. I still don't really even know why it bothers me so much. I just kept thinking, "my house!"
Well, tonight, Thursday-mind you, Brad's gma brought it to my attention that they must be having a party next door again because lots of vehicles were going down the driveway. (only our 2 houses are on this street so it is noticeable) "On a Thursday?" I asked. A while later the guy came over and told us they had a "band" practicing and would try to keep the music down.
If they had the music down, I would hate for them to have it UP all night!! It was quite loud. It has been an hour now and I don't hear the music anymore so I hope they quit early and went straight to drinking. Just kidding! About the drinking part, anyway.
I must say it was very nice of him, maybe 19 years old, to come over and let us know what was going on. I would have most likely called the cops had he not. And I'm guessing he knew that. I just hate having neighbors who aren't family. Just another reason we don't want neighbors when we move!
