We just had a visit from a Just Energy representative claiming to be there on behalf of our energy company. He wouldn't leave when I told him I wasn't interested in anything he was selling and that there is a 'No Soliciting' sign up on the porch. I ended having Jason go to run him off and the guy kept trying to get him to sign papers. I looked up Just Energy on the new and found out they used to be U.S. Energy. U.S. Energy was sued by the state of Illinois for being a scam. I hope the guy comes back tomorrow so I can tell him off. ...

aghhh…so busy
The past several days have been extremely hectic. I've been 'bird sitting' for my parents while they were gone for the weekend. Their bird, Paco, is a cocktail and can talk up a storm. Hannah was not amused...and she has been very vocal about it. We've also been working on getting the garden going in hops of saving some money at the grocery store. I also got the other flower bed finished. The bad thing is, that bed is within easy reach of the brat kinds next door. So far they have left it alone and have behaved themselves. We'll see what happens once school lets out. ...
Called the Cops on the Brats Next Door
I finally had to call the police about the kids next door. They are getting their school friends to come over and throw stuff at the house now. Tuesday they threw a baseball at the picture window...while I was sitting in front of it feeding Hannah. Thankfully they can't throw worth crap and it ended up on the roof. I called the police station and talked to one of the officers who I'm friends with. In fact, I don't think there's too many cops here that I don't know. Anyway, he said there isn't a whole lot I can do till they do some sort of damage. I can file a no trespass now on the two next door and maybe they will cough up the names of their friends. He also told me that there is a urination ordnance here, so they will get fined if I catch them peeing again. They will also get indecent exposure if I happen to see their bits as well. So, now, it's just the waiting game. They didn't do anything yesterday, so I'll have to see what happens today. ...
