What a day!
Although it was EXTREMELY unproductive I feel overwhelmed with my day.
Well it started off ok, woke up as usual around 8. Made some java, filled Bubby’s sippy cup and made a bottle for Bel. The whole house was awake before too long. I made some homemade pancakes, they were delicious if I may say so myself!
Well then it started to get a little hairy, without going in to full detail, my brother and I got in to a little disagreement. Nicki was supposed to spend the night there tonight, he made it seem like he had something else going on, I made it clear of my ground rules and requested he abide by them. There was a little more to it but I will refrain from going in to detail. I didn’t however, want to be a “mean mom” today so I let Nicki spend the night at his house anyway. His daughter was there for the weekend and Nicki really wanted to go.
So again, another Saturday I am alone. Tony is closing and so it’s just me and the lil ones. Most days I spend in the living room with them, playing and watching TV. However, the last 2 days or so I have had some crafting I needed to get done so I was in my craft room, it connects to the living room and is gated off. I’m not far from the kids but I guess since my butt was not planted on the couch, they freaked out. OMG they screamed at me most of the day. I had a headache already and to top, getting in an argument with my brother and 2 lil ones SCREAMING at me….it all didn’t make my head feel better.
Finally nap time, couldn’t have come any faster. Well yesterday I put Bubby to nap with just a t-shirt and diaper on. BIG HUGE mistake. He decided it was necessary to remove his POOPY diaper and rub his POOPY butt all over his carpet. WTH! Thankfully Nicki was home yesterday so she could watch the kids while I cleaned the SHIT off his carpet and give him a good scrubbin’!
Fast forward, now today I thought I was going to be smarter than the lil booger. I will put a onesie on him. All snapped up and everything. Did that stop him, HELL NO it didn’t! Another day with poop smeared carpet and the lil one running around his room naked. Today, unfortunately, Nicki was not home. Made cleaning rough since the lil ones just screamed at me from the living room.
Not only was I knuckle deep in poop trying to clean, I get a knock at my door. I had no intentions of answering it because I was busy. Well whoever was at the door was determined to get me to answer. I stomp to the door and answer it. There stands a trashy looking, pierced face lady (well she was probably mid 30′s). She tells me she is the old tenant that used to live here. She asked if she had gotten any packages delivered via UPS. I told her I had not. She then felt it necessary to tell me how bad our landlord is and to be careful, that he screwed her out of a bunch of money.
I guess she was doing a lease option on the house. ( We heard the whole story from our landlord and neighbors) I guess they put a bunch down but got made because the guy was asking for about 55k more for the house than he paid. She said the garage floods when there is a bad rain. Well for starters on that, the gutter drain spout was pointed directly at the garage. I can see why it would get some water in there. She also said she paid more for rent than we do. Now I didn’t tell her what we paid but she told us what she paid. When you do a lease option, your monthly rent is usually a little more than a normal rent would be.
She also wanted to say that she replaced the pump for the pool. Again, with a lease option you are pretty much responsible for home repairs and such. She also said the appliances in the kitchen broke and she had to beg and plead for the nice appliances that we have. They are nice, stainless steel and black. The pisser is that she let her kids run the house and they wrote all over the nice appliances.
The neighbors also told us that they were drugs dealers, scamming the government for disability payments. That’s a whole different story. In addition they let their kids roam the neighborhood all hours of the day and night too.
So basically I had a hard time not telling her how I felt about the situation. I refrained with the hopes she would leave sooner than later.
The kids continued to scream at me the rest of the day. Made some Ramen and ate some Doritos. I put the kids to bed at 9:30 and have been alone in the quiet house since. It is almost 1am and Tony is still not home from work. I did however, finally finish my crafting I needed to get done.
I am about to go watch a little TV and try to fall asleep.
