One of Two

Well one of the two things I am waiting for to happen was started last night, we got a Bill of Sale to take to the bank for the new van!

We're already preapproved so all we needed was this to get things moving in order to get the paperwork to sign.  So hopefully we'll have a new van by the end of the week!  Woot!

As for the house, I haven't heard back from them yet :(  But I did also get a response to MY ad looking for a place and it sounds great, except when I tried to respond the email address wouldn't work so I'm HOPING to somehow get in touch with the guy to talk about going to see the place.  BOTH places would be great and I'm ok with either one, just hoping things line up!  We really need out of here.

Since the new neighbours moved in, my youngest son has been punch in the groin area, been called an a$$hole, had his toys stolen and has had to be disciplined for playing with toy guns (which is something we do NOT allow at our house and have spoken to him about a couple of times before the discipline).  The new neighbour kid left a HUGE mess on our back grassy knoll with cardboard boxes, an coffee can full of cigarette butts that he dumped into a sled and mixed with mud and grass clippings and various broken toys...it's been there for a week.  He also shot a cap gun next to our daughters head.  This child is not good news...he's also quite unsupervised and twice has been knocking at our door before 8:30 am to see if Jonah could come out to play!

I cannot imagine going all summer trying to thwart efforts to play with fake weapons and the like.  So our options are to move (which is my favourite choice!), or we're sending Jonah to summer camp for 4 weeks.  2 weeks of YMCA daycamp (outdoor adventure and sports) and then 2 weeks of our city's daycamp which includes trips and sports and swimming and such.  It will suck to not have him here with us hanging out but I know he'll LOVE the activities and then we'd have all of August to hang out.  We're planning to camp for 9 days in August as well so that would keep us away from here too.

So, hopefully I'll hear from one of the landlords today!  Wish us luck!!
