What's going on around here....

I was just staring out the window at the rain thinking about last winter and the flooding that happened. It's supposed to have rained like 3 inches yesterday. The river is hugely risen. There should be a bunch of mud slides again, and low level flooding.
I can't wait to get out of here.

Whilst I was staring out the window a huge billow of smoke came from the top of the neighbors house, so I go over to look closer and there are these huge flames shooting out of his chimney. That's not normal. It sort of worried me. But not enough that I'd go over there. He's such a freak. He got arrested for having a pot farm in his house...they were going to repossess his house, so he put it up for sale. Then somehow 6 months later he showed back up and moved back in. Weird. I think this is the only place on earth that he could get away with these kinds of things.

We've been expecting our tax return to come in. I just checked the bank account balance and there is a frightfully large amount of money in there. I'm such a huge pessimist. Whenever there is extra money...there's an extra bill that will come up. It's so convenient!
We're going to pay off some credit cards and Kevin wants to get some things. It'll be good. Part of it will probably be used to move with as well. The car is also going to get a little tune-up and I have an appointment next Friday to get my eyes checked out. I haven't had new glasses in almost a decade. I'm excited. I'll get to see again! :)

I almost forgot! This is hugely wonderful...Kevin was able to get our car refied day before yesterday. Sooooooo great. Lowered our bill and spread it out over two paychecks rather than one. Now it won't be so painful every month. That car was costing us over $500 a month. Scary. ~~~
So, last night I made a bread pudding. And I burned it. This morning I made bourbon sauce to go with it, and I boiled it over. Then I made coffee, and realized when I took my first sip that I used yesterdays grounds that I completely forgot about in the coffee maker to make it. There is something wrong with me.

Anneliese is getting this walking thing down pretty good. She's climbing everything now though. It's crazy! She climbs on this one chair because she found out that the seat of it has springs and bounces pretty well when you jump on it. The downside to that is that I came out of the bathroom yesterday when I heard a huge thud followed by ear-splitting screams. Head, meet floor. So now a laundry basket has taken up home on it so she won't climb on it.
She's so much more trouble than Anthony ever was.
Example:
Anthony is sitting there and asks for a drink of water.
I get a cup and fill it and put on a sippy lid and set it down in front of him.
Anneliese takes the cup and starts drinking.
She stops for a breath and Anthony goes to take it from her.
Ear piercing screaming ensues, and a tug-of-war.
She's 1 YEAR OLD.
Anthony ends up crying because she took over his cup of water.
Heres me---> Standing there wide eyed, mortified that Anneliese is being this way, and yanking the cup away from her.
(I'm such a pansy.)

Anneliese is very opinionated and domineering, while Anthony is opinionated and a little more easygoing and passive. We've got opposite ends of the spectrum, and then me. I'm easily just walked all over. And half the time, (with her), I'm just trying to figure out what to do because I'm not expecting her to behave this way.
Maybe I should start expecting the unexpected and then I won't be so suprised by it. But the thing is...I don't even know what I'm supposed to be unexpectedly expecting...

I have a feeling it's going to be a long day.
