Yes Deposit, No Return

In case anybody was wondering, we will in fact NOT be getting our deposit back, if and when we ever move from this rathole.  I called for some long overdue maintenance requests just now, and boy…. this is one office chick I am not a fan of. 

We, apparently, have made the grave mistake of not only having small children, but of letting them live life as children.  So when they busted the screen out of their bedroom window for the Nth time last fall, I said to myself, “Oh don’t worry about that now since it’s going to be winter and they don’t need a screen.  You can just have good ol’ Gg pop in a new one next spring”.  They’ve done it before, it’s never been a problem, and now they want FIFTY SMACKERS to replace it!  For a freaking window screen???

Yeah, I seriously doubt we’ll be getting our deposit back.  And just in case they think they can charge us for having to replace this ratty carpet that should’ve been replaced before we moved in, I’ve got some liar friends (oops, I meant lawyer!) who can tell them otherwise.

Not Scared

So, Honey’s gone for the weekend.  Grandma died Tuesday morning so he and B went to UT for the funeral.  I’m home with S and little D, and amazingly I’m not completely wigged out by it.  I think I might be allergic to motherhood, though.  My arms are breaking out in a rash!

I’m actually glad he’s gone, because I have a LOT of work to do that I can guarantee you I wouldn’t have done if he were home this weekend.  Those men are such a distraction!

I’ve got a house to clean (I want to surprise him but not give him a heart attack.  Do you know that he actually mentioned during a talk in Sacrament Meeting that I am not the world’s best housekeeper?  You could hear the massive intake of breath all at once.  People came up to me after, even some of the men, and acknowledge how big his faux pas was.  Kinda funny…), a paper to write, LOADS of reading to catch up on for my course I’m taking, and I have to entertain the kidlins and feed them food I normally wouldn’t to get them to comply while Daddy’s gone.

So what am I doing here instead?  Just taking a moment to remember how not scared I am to do it all alone.  I know it’s only for a couple of days, but that’s huge in my playbook.

Toodles!

Welcome!

Thanks for coming, I’m glad you could make it! 

I’m not altogether happy with this skin yet, but Reesie took the only good free one so it’ll have to do for now.  Don’t forget to change your blogrolls or bookmarks to reflect the new addy…

Make sure you comment so I know you made it!
