I've been buried in end of the year school stuff this week, but I'm still here.

DF's party was wonderful! Everyone had a great time. The decorations were simple, but perfect for the occassion and the venue. Red/white checked tablecloths, red and white star balloons at each table, red/white streamers, and lots of old pictures of the birthday boy on the big cake table. The food was fabulous too! We even played Pin the Tail on the Donkey. And, best of all, DF was totally surprised when he walked in and saw all of us.

I didn't get much done in regards to household things that were on my May goals list due to my work stuff and all of DD's music performances this month. But, I only have 6 more days of work and then I'll be off for summer and have some free time to put this place in order the way I would like to.

My most pressing goals right now are work-related in that I must finish one last Dinosaur PPT, compile test scores and finish report cards. After that, I can breath a big sigh of relief and enjoy!

As soon as I got off here earlier, one of the neighbors came knocking on my door. I thought it was the cat so I had DD open it only to be blasted by this woman. Apparently, our cat is eating the food that she has been putting out for the stray and she doesn't like it. Well, excuse me, cats are opportunistic eaters - they eat where they see food. The HOA President told her not to put the food out for the strays because even HER cat was eating it too. This darn woman accused us of being too lazy to feed our cat, told me I'd better keep him inside and has threatened to tell the property manager. I told her to go right ahead. Turns out, she also reamed my DD about it yesterday, and last week, cornered someone that was coming to drop something off to me. IRKS me to no end!

First of all, I am the exact opposite of lazy.
Secondly, she was told NOT to leave the food out.
Third, she was rude! If she would have been nice about it, maybe I would feel differently.

Escrow is supposed to close on DS new house tomorrow so Hunter is going to be moving probably next week anyway and there will no longer be an issue, but I'm tempted to keep him here just to make her mad.

So, at the very top of my June Goal List is talking with my property manager to give her a head's up about the situation. She knows I have the cat. She knows that it is temporary. But, I want her to be aware either way. I'll be going there tomorrow morning.

Carol - Some people like your neighbour will never accept that the problem is their making ((HUGS)).

Diana - Thank you and yes when the maintenance men come around for the housing association they are always amazed at how much work we have done. Especially as they know what a mess it all was before we moved in.

I have a barbecue tomorrow at a friends house, and another friend has organised a huge picnic and fun day on her land on Monday. Both are Jubilee themed so we all have union jack patterned hats, and we will all be wearing red, white and blue

It is going to a fun long weekend I hope you all enjoy yours where ever you are!

I am sure you are overwhelmed this time of year, but you are a strong woman and can do it!

Time to close this thread for the month.
Great job to all of you GONers!
