Birthday Boy!

Look who just had a birthday!

Lee Clarke

We had a little party for him and he even had his own cake. I put his little jacket on him that I bought for him then we played with all the toys he got from his mommy and everyone else. He sure has brought our household a lot of joy. As soon as he was born the entire household seemed to just pull together and become more of a team. We all pitch in and do the cleaning and cooking and even tending to little Lee has become a group effort. I wasn't very happy at the thought of Briana being pregnant at first, but goodness what a blessing it has turned out to be!

Granny

Little Lee will only sleep for me and I'm finding that when I'm rocking him is when I'm most truly relaxed. He's starting to coo and babble and I know he smiled at me when I was babysitting him last night. 

What a sweet little baby. Briana suggested that I be his adopted Granny. I am fully enamored. 

New Housemate

Our littlest housemate has joined our crazy crew. His name is Lee Wilford Clarke. He just may be the cutest baby I've ever seen.

I don't mind cuddling him, but I'm still not babysitting.

Taking The Good with The Bad

There have been several ups and downs since my last entry. It's been quite the rollercoaster ride. I'm finding myself actually enjoying the majority of our housemates although, I do wish so many of them weren't getting fired and switching jobs. I suppose it doesn't matter though as long as they pay their share of the rent or get evicted because they aren't. Either way would work for me at this point.

Briana's baby is due any day now. I'm not saying I'm happy about this, but I will say she does have a nice glow about it and maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have a baby around.

I'm still not babysitting though.

First Week Survival

It's not been a piece of cake, but we've all survived the first week. After getting to know everyone a little, I do feel somewhat more optimistic. It's certainly an extremely odd living situation, but I suppose it could be worse. Some of these people may not be so bad after all.

I'm still not babysitting though.

Who's Who

I've finally managed to collect everyone's photos. This post is just for that. I'm still mad.

Tiffany Nickerson - Deep Sea Fishing Master (Master in her own mind, anyway)

Me, Journey Montanez. Does my unhappiness show? I'm a magician and a commercial spokesperson. 

Macie Keen - Technician at the science lab

Briana Clarke. She has no job, but has already managed to get pregnant. I hope she knows I'm not babysitting.

Ervin Levy. Swears he's no criminal, but is a known ringleader.

Raymond Coe is a clickbait writer who thinks he's funny. Newsflash: He's not.

My wife, Sonya Hong. She's a C-Lister now, but will be famous one day! She's angry, too.

Jaime Alonso - Deep Sea Fishing Master. I suppose.

Bamboozled!

There are eight of us living in this house in Evergreen Harbor. Eight! In a two-bedroom house! To be honest, none of us really wanted to be in charge of keeping the household journal, but it needs to be done so we drew straws. Literally. Guess who got the short one.

Anyway, I suppose I should start off with some basic information like who's all living here and why. My name is Journey Montanez. I live in this crazy, too-small-for-eight-people house with my wife, Sonya Hong, and our seven housemates. They are Tiffany Nickerson, Macie Keen, Briana Clarke, Ervin Levy, Raymond Coe, and Jaime Alonso. I'll add everyone's pictures after I've managed to collect them all. What should be a simple task, is not.

Why are we all crammed into this house, you ask? Well, I'll tell you! It's because I've been tricked! Bamboozled! Hoodwinked! My wife and I just rented this house and planned to use the second bedroom as a home spa. A cozy, comforting space that would have been perfect for my aging bones. However, with my poor eye-sight and Sonya's lack of intelligence (yes I know that's mean, but it's true and I'm mad so I don't care) we had missed the fine print in the lease which said we would have six housemates who were granted permission to live here as well as my wife and I. So it seems we've not only leased a house but six strangers as well!

I'm so angry.
