Surveys on the Brain

Had the opportunity to touch base with the surveying company. It has been two weeks (tomorrow) since we had the hoopla go down and the cops called out.
So this is what I know.
Our neighborhood was originally deeded in the 1910's. Then they widened the road that makes a 'T' on ours in the 1950's.
So, some properties were marked from the 1950's and didn't take into account the widened road, and were wrong.

Basically, the neighbors fell into that category and their markers are wrong. Funnily enough, the surveyor asked if they had added on to their house. About 2 years ago a tree fell on top of their house and they did add on during the reconstruction, and ended up angling themselves even closer to us!

He also said the woman got entirely hateful with him when she called to dispute, and he told her they should have shown his guys their markers when they were there the first time!

Ugh. we will have it resolved in a few days.

Tooth Fairy teaches humility

Yesterday was a trip! I was at work when my sister calls to ask me where the fire extinguisher was... she had put the pizza in the oven on a plastic cutting board instead of a silicone baking sheet. Hilarity ensued.
My visit with the neuropsychiatrist went well. I have 2 new prescriptions as well as upping my dosage on another. I am optimistic that we will find something that works to allow me to relieve the tension I carry around and prevents me from sleeping at night.
So, while with their aunt Stefanie, Jacob lost his FIRST TOOTH while eating a McDonald's hamburger! A very BIG DEAL.
He has known for a few days that it would be coming out, and had made numerous statements that the Tooth Fairy would bring him anywhere from $40-$60 bucks. Yeah, that's Jacob.. with his super-high expectations. We kept telling him how the Tooth Fairy doesn't give that much, but I'm sure he discounted us altogether.
So, when I put $2 in his pillowcase I wasn't being extravagant, nor was I giving a few quarters, which i imagine would be a fair payment for a tooth.
He wakes up this morning and complains that the Tooth Fairy did NOT take his tooth. I told him they wanted us to keep it, because it was important, but to check his pillowcase.
He exclaimed, " I only got $2!"
Sigh.
He was super upset, so guess what.. he had to give his Dad the money and he ended up with ... $0. It upsets me because this is the child who lights up over finding a penny in the house, or getting a quarter for the gumball machine. Suddenly an ingrate. ;-[
