Weekend

It was mostly a working weekend for me. Friday night Sarah had a sword sparring class at her Tae Kwon Do school. She had a lot of fun!

Saturday I worked most of the day, but Sarah and I managed to also have lunch at Dairy Queen. Sarah was doing a school project too. They have a little stuffed dog named Stella in her class. Each weekend the kids takes turns taking her home, and then they write about what adventures Stella have been on over the weekend, and put it all in a book along with pictures. Fun idea!

Sunday morning we headed down to the beach and had a nice breakfast at the Beach Cafe. The mornings are so nice and cool now, just over 20 C. It still gets over 30 C in the afternoon, but you can tell the humidity levels are lower, a little crisper in the air for sure.

When we got home I finished up the work I had to do , then managed to do tons of laundry and clean the house as well.

Ken's daughter continues to be a hassle to deal with. As you might recall, we gave her a mobile phone that we pay for to help her out. She also begged and pleaded that we would get one for her boyfriend too, he would pay us $10 a month for it. So Ken gave in and let him rent one from us (hers is hers to keep).

The deal (after they went back up to Ohio) was that he was going to send us $10 every month and that we would have the money on the 1st every month, or we would turn it off until the money was received (we have a family allowance plan that allows us to set how many minutes, if any, each phone gets to use).

The first month: no money recived. We turned off the phone. Immediately Ken started to receiv angry, mean text messages from Tara to turn his phone back on. She is a master at manipulating people, she is very good at emotional blackmail. So he turned it on, with warning that would not happen next time.

They money finally got to us, several weeks late.

Then on Friday, we had not received any money again. So we turned off the phone. Same again: lots of angry messages to Ken. This time I made sure Ken stood his ground and did not bow to her. No turning on the phone. She tired everything on him. We agreed to delay the turning off for 2  hours so they could record a voice message and other things. But no turning back the phone until the money was received.

Then later Friday night we get a message saying he LOST the phone at a gas station! It is gone! So they want us to order a NEW phone for him.

Seriously? The deal is off. No new phone. Are they kidding me? If anything he should reimburse Ken for our phone that he lost, plus the cost of the replacement SIM card...

A new SIM card is on its way now, and Ken is going to let one of his employees use my old phone with the new SIM card when out with clients.

No way we would send it to him, what do they think we are, stupid? It would be nothing but a hassle, stressful and drama filled as the situation has already been.

Some of the things she has said about me to Ken, oh man. There is just no way I could ever respect her ever again. And Ken still loves her, but he certainly have very little respect for her as well.

She keeps proving over and over what a disrespectful, deceitful and immature person she is. And don't get me started on her mother, who seems to butt in and add to the drama regularly. It truly is astounding these types of people really exists!
