The New Neighbor

Ok so I don't like it when I am judged from the start when entering a new situation, I understand people have struggles we all do we have been there done that. I know it is scary when you move to a new place and are starting over. I know kids can be difficult and hard to handle. However even with all this in mind nothing has prepared me for my new neighbor. She is a nightmare! Instead of being home during the day getting her moving done she waits until dark and then BOOM! the noise begins. 3 nights in a row I haven't been able to really sleep because her and her kids are up until 12:30, 1:00 in the morning! I tried to talk to her today and OMG! you can not speak to this woman!!!! She cries, she interrupts, she has excuses, she is a piece of work. Then she tells me she can't handle her kids, they don't know what the word No means and that she just got them back and that she is trying to use the skills she learned in the parenting classes she took while at the battered women's shelter. Blah, Blah, Blah. I am seriously going to loose my mind. My kids are tired, now that spring break is over I am hoping to see an improvement, even though my kids are buttheads at home they are good students and need their sleep. I did find out when quiet hours are so tonight I am done talking to her if she and the kids are being overly loud I will call the Police and tomorrow I am calling the landlord. I may have a piece of crap apartment and it may be small and expensive but I am stuck here and I have been for 3 years and I am not going to let the crack addict rule over me. I was lucky enough to have 2 sets of great neighbors and lots of time just to myself. I know I need to share and I understand this is a duplex but I was still here first and I have established ground. She is in for a rude awaking with me because I will not will not put up with her crap!

The avalanche is starting

I have lived in my place for 3yrs. I have put up with a tight space, high rent, poor water pressure and lack of a lawnmower and screens on my windows. When I moved in I had awesome neighbors and they moved away and the place sat empty for awhile then they moved back. They again moved the place sat and I again got neighbors who were also awesome then they too moved. While the place sat empty I became accustomed to having the property to myself and when people would come around to look I'd show them the place. It wasn't my job either. Well now I have neighbors and I am not happy about it. So there is one rock tumbling down, then my landlord thinks my boyfriend David is living with me just because he's over all the time I mean we're dating so wouldn't that mean we spend time together? So now the stress of that has caused another rock. I have started doing babysitting from my home for very little money and I really don't have any kids but add them and my kids especially this week since it's spring break it equals chaos! My oldest daughter Ally is ssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh a drama queen! And she admits nothing even when she gets caught and it's a meltdown whenever you say something to her. Tonight we all tried to dye eggs and that was a joke. The eggs got done though. So there is another rock. Pat is homeless again and has turned to me for help. David is fine with it as long as it helps with Codi. I am already feeling anxiety over it. I want to help him but I know I am going to hear about it. I am trying to talk my landlord into working with Pat for a 2 bedroom or work with me on a 4 bedroom but I am not getting anywhere. Boom another rock. The car, money, etc. etc. etc. each one being a rock. There for an avalanche. I know there is people out there going thru more then me, people out there with less then me so I shouldn't complain, I am trying not to complain but with the avalanche coming it's hard not too. I am strong at least so I have been told. I had dental work done the other day and ever since I have just been a space cadet. I am grateful for what I have, I love helping people, I am glad to be reconnected with my daughter I just am unthankful for the stress that seems to come with everything. I am hoping my new neighbors turn out good, I find such a thickness of anxiety inside and I feel as if I have to walk on pins and needles so to speak. Well until the next blog.
