Sorry I haven't been around lately :(

I havent been around lately because I have had a lot going on. BD's parents bought us a small house that we are having to fix up quite a bit. The people who lived there before us had 3 dogs in the house, so we have had to rip up all the carpet (they let their dogs use the carpet as a bathroom i guess) It really reeks in there. We have painted the kitchen and living room, but we need to redo the bathroom because it is in pretty bad shape. We also have to paint the bedrooms and we have more painting left in the kitchen. So I have been working at the house most days (my grandma has been watching Kaden for me). Plus while I was ripping up carpet I got like an allergic reaction or something to the dust and shit that was underneath it. I have never had allergies so this is very new to me. They wouldn't sell me Claritin at the store so I had to wait till BD got off work to get it. (because Im not 18) I do believe we had this discussion before. It is total BS.

And I have been having troubles with a police officer here in town. He came to my dads house when I used to live there and was looking for a girl who was not there. He walked back to his car and then came all the way back to mine just to say "does that say BABY on board?" and pointed to the sign in the back of my car. I wanted to say uhhh cant you read? but I just said "yea" and he walked back to his car. But me and BD got pulled over a week ago because we weren't wearing our seat belts. And he came up to the window, looked at Kaden, and looked at BD, then said "Is he YOURS" then asked him if he needed to make sure that Kaden was strapped in too...I really can't stand this cop. I guess he has been following around a friend of mine (who is also a teen mom) and hassling her too. I want to talk to someone about it, but i really dont think anything will happen. They will back their police officers before they will help someone who isn't. I dont even see why we have cops. They never help when I need it, but they always love to pull us over and bother us when we aren't hurting anyone.
Sorry this is so long but I had to vent and let everyone know why I haven't been around

Hey hun.. congrats on the house! Ive been wondering where you went. And im sorry about the asshole cop.. it must be something with small town cops because we have some on the force here too that are very corrupt, but unless you have the $$ to hire a lawyer for a $100 ticket, your never going to get any justice :( It sucks!

We have a cop like that in town. I ran awat to a safe house because my step dad threatened to kill me and he was known for beating me up. When I got there I called the cops. The cop told me I was a liar. How dare
I accuse such an upstanding citizen and arrested me as a runaway and told CPS I put my son in serious danger. So I lost custody of I an for a whole year and got charged as a runway. I could believe he was allowed to get away with something that was soo obviously wrong!

As for your house Congrats! Think of it this way. YOu get to re-do it totally your way! It'll look so good I bet when you're all done with it! It's hard work now but then you get to sit back and relax in YOUR house!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!

thanks everyone. I know I cant wait to get it done. We have to redo the bathroom, and get all the appliances for the kitchen, but it will be totally worth it, when we finally get it done. I love the fact that we can paint it and do whatever with it.
