17 more days before my husband and I become home owners, again.
We are very excited. Our slumlord has quit responding to any voicemail, e-mail, text, etc, and we can no longer use the upstairs toilet...which is just freeeekin' perfect when you have a toddler who is just getting the hang of using the potty. B@stard. I am pretty sure that there is no way in hell we will ever see our deposit without taking the jerk to court. So, I am not going to pay April's rent. We are planning on moving March ...

Have you ever looked back at something that happened in your life a long time ago and it just randomly hits you as to how important that event was in defining who you are now? I came from a very broken and abusive family. We moved around a lot as kids (air force) and we were poor and I was always the fat kid.

She also decided that the best time to tell me this was right in the middle of my workday and via text message. Ugh. I simply could NOT focus the rest of the day and by the time she came to drop off the kids, I was ready to just tell her to look somewhere else. But, we talked. We REALLY like her and didn't want to look somewhere els...

It seems like everyone at work is on vacation. I am still the new girl and rely on my peers to a pretty high degree to help me find things and get things deployed. Ugh. I don't have any more deadlines this year, but I'd like to get something done this week! I feel bad not being productive.We've all been sick here for almost two weeks. My daughter has got it bad, though. Poor baby. She just went back to the doctor yesterday and they gave her a shot of antibiotics because the first round did...
