HURRAY!!! THE HOA IS BACK!!!

Well, my favorite people in the world are back at it making people's lives a living hell. We just got another letter put on our door siting the violations this time. This time we were only in violation of 5 of the 6 listed!!! WooHoo!
The wording in this letter is absolutely appalling. "we continue to have residents violating some of the basics thus jeopardizing those exact reasons we moved to MacDonald St." If my kids using sidewalk chalk, riding bikes and having a stroller set on my porch "jeopardize" anyone's reason for moving here, then we moved here for completely different reasons. I thought this was a kid-friendly neighborhood, but apparently I was wrong.
As I have stated before, were my house not attached to 3 houses on either side, I would have no problem putting bikes in the garage at night. But, where I am 6 1/2 months pregnant, I don't really want to have to carry 3 different bikes around all of the houses to the back where the garage is located. I think storing them on MY porch should not make a difference to anyone else. And now they have said that if they are not actively in use, they must be put in the garage. I don't know about any of you, but my kids don't ride their bike one time a day. They ride it, get off and play, ride it, get off and play, etc. To ask a mother who is already busy chasing 3 little boys, to put their bike away whenever they are not on it, is retarded.
We've been told that sidewalk chalk must be washed away every night. Even though the sprinklers wash 90% of it away anyway. We also got our reminder that only owners can have dogs. I still stand by the fact that my dog is better behaved than the dog of the lady on the HOA board. Her dogs sits outside and barks all freaking day! And it's not my dog pooping up and down the street.
The thing that really gets me is they had the audacity to tell my friend Elissa who has 4 small children that she isn't allowed to run a daycare out of her home. SHE DOESN'T RUN A DAYCARE....SHE JUST HAS 4 LITTLE KIDS!!!!!! They told her that her car is constantly pulling up and driving away from her house. Hello!!! Mother of small children!!!!! Errands need to be run! And they told her all of this to her face!
So, here I sit, waiting for my landlord to call and say"well, the HOA sent me another letter about renters having dogs and you not obeying the rules. So, I guess you'll have to find another place"
And with only 5-6 months left here in Eagle, its not the best timing. I told Ben that if we don't get kicked out, I'll do my best to abide by the most retarded and controlling rules I have ever heard of.
BUT, just for spite, I'm gonna leave all kinds of crap out on the lawn (not my porch) for the next nine days and then move it right before they can fine me!!!!!!!! I'll show them! HA!

Happy birthday Adam!!

Adam is now officially 4 years old. He has been asking me for months when he would be 4. I think it was so the neighbor would quit calling him a baby.(unfortunately, that didn't work) Adam is such a special part of our family.
He is our sweetest boy, our cuddliest boy, and the one who looks the most like Ben. His smile is perfect and for the most part he is a very happy kid. He has a love for animals and never misses an opportunity to kiss Beau on the head when he walks by. He is by far our best eater and never misses a meal either. It will be fun to watch him grow up even more this year. We love you Adam!!
