Update on Me and my scammer :)

Howdy! Ok, for those of you that followed my story about being scammed by Steve of Tyco Homes, he has repaid me $1500 of the $2000 he owes. So one more payment to go, and he took care of it. It started out an exceedingly unpleasant situation, but as time went on, things got a bit easier. Life happens to everyone, so I am a bit more forgiving than some! lol But, he has been paying, so I can't fault him for that. It could have gone wayyyyyyy uglier! But in the long run, he IS doing what he promised to do. He is in construction, and we all know how that was going for awhile, and just like any other small business, he was struggling to keep his head above water. So, I just spoke with him, and he is mailing my final payment next week! woohoo! I should have held out for one of his houses! lol They are beautiful! So, his business is taking off again, and I'm happy about that, he turned out to be a really nice guy, that just had too much on his plate.

Now, that having been said, I have been VERY busy!!! lol WOW if any of you thought I was insane for working at home with kids, I got crazier!!! lol Yep! I opened up a store in my local indoor flea market! I'm thrilled with it, but WOW, that is HARD to do with kids!!!!! lol

We are happy though, we made our rent back, in the first 3 weeks of being open! Which considering it was the slowest month for ALL of retail, we were very happy! lol Now back to school is coming, and I have been advertising up a storm!!! lol The only bummer is, that in the same market as us, is a pet store!!! Sooooo, every weekend, one of my daughters is either begging for a kitten or a puppy! Yeah, hubby LOVES that! hehe
