Just to let my guys know I am NOT talking about any of you!!!

Ok so now we are on the final straw of this story...

It is now Wednesday night and the boys and are are eating at McD's because hubby had to work and we had nothing in the motel to eat. So here we are and things are ok and then all of a sudden there is cops all over the place (outside) guns drawn on 3 people (they were arrested) because they ran from the cops in their car with DRUGS!!! Too close for my taste thank you!! We are ok though NO WORRIES!! I then decided that this was it I was going HOME!! Thursday morning we put everything back into the car and drove 5 minutes back home and we were unloading the car and the Maintainence superviser came down and said that he was sorry for everything that has been happening to us (OK that's cool)

things were fine and we were getting settled in putting stuf away and the office calls and tells me that the flooring guys will be here Friday morning to fix the vinyl and at the same time they showed up (Talk about timing huh?) So ok that was cool...

So the flooring guys came and fixed the area that needed to be fixed and then told me that I could not have my washer/dryer unit put back in until late Friday night or Saturday anytime... Mind you I had ALOT of clothes to wash!!! So ok later in the day on Friday our friend (who is a professional plumber) came for a visit before he went home for the day. He was talking to my hubby in spanish and the next thing I know he is in the bathroom tightening a bolt on the tank of my toilet and yup you guess it ... the tank cracked and sprung a leak!!! Likely for him that he had a brand new tiolet in his work truck and fixed that all up for me and also fixed the leak int he sink and gave me a way better shower head too!!! Gotta love this man!! He is also going to install my garbage disposal for me too!! Even though we are not suppose to have them anymore (Go figure)

So then things are ok and Saturday rolls around and I was hoping that the maintainence guy was going to come by and put in the washer/dryer unit for me ...NOT !! By now it is 5 pm and he never came by so my hubby decides that WE can do it!! After 1 1/2 hours over being very careful and slowly getting it from outside back into my kitchen we made it!! He hooked up everything and he wanted me to start a load to make sure that everything was ok -- So I did... he found a leak in one of the hoses or so we though it was a leak... He needed to get a washer for one of the hoses so he goes to the store and gets one puts it on and the thing works perfectly!!!

If I would have known that all of this shit was going to happen then I would never have moved!!! But we are here things are good and I am happy!!

Oh just so you know that it was not the internal thermostat on the water heater it was checked and it was fine to there was a leak under the concrete slab and they did not want to dig that all up!!

Through out all of this the boys did awesome and Skyler is walking all over the place!!!

Ok so here is the story about my moving experience from a one bedroom apartment on the second floor to a two bedrrom on the first floor...

Things where looking good we had most of the stuff packed and was moving it over on friday, March 17th, nothing was wrong and Saturday the rest of the family was coming up to help with the big stuff and get everything out... Cool right?!

So that was fine and things were still going good until Friday afternoon... I checked the water and we had NO hot water so I told the manager and she informed me that they would have someone come and checked it out on Saturday ...OK I though because we still had the keys to the old apartment.

Well, they came and checked the hot water tank and said that the breakers were good and that the tank was full of water (DUH!) So then they guy checks and the thermostat and said that it was fine too... So why did I not have hot water...

Ok so what no hot water ... So I decided that I would do a load of 3 little things to try out the washing machine... You know how it stops right before the rinse cycle I had Lake Erie in my kitchen!!! I paged the maintainence man 911 (GET THIS 10 TIMES) not one return call back!! So my hubby turned off the tank and I cleaned up all the water ... we went to bed.

So now it is Sunday morning ... I not only had the Spuervisor the the construction workers here but the maintainence Supervisor and the maintainence man here and 3 other people who I am still not sure who they were... Out of 6 people not 1 could tell me why I had no hot water!!!

They tore my shower aprt to see if the water was there ... NOPE! They tore out my tiolet to see if it was there ... NOPE! They tore out the wall to see WHERE the water was going ... NOWHERE!!! The water leak was under the 30 year old slab of concrete and they needed to re-route my water lines!!! FUN HUH?! NOT!!!!!

I was then told by the Maintainence Supervisor that we would have to use the old apartment to go to the bathroom and take showers and such ... with 2 small children ... I don't think so!! My hubby had to miss 1 day of work because of this!! I told the managers of the complex that this was not acceptable for me and my family and that they were going to have to put us up somewhere else ... They said ok we can put you into a 2 bedroom on the second floor ...I AM NOT MOVING!!!

So they contacted the owners and the owners responded by saying that we would be staying in a HOTEL for 3 days .. OK COOL RIGHT?? Wrong .. We were in a MOTEL with 2 beds and no kitchen ... We had to eat out!! Now here is the kicker to this part ... the owners were not going to repay us the money we put out in food!! Nice huh?? Instead they are going to pay our electricty bill for the month ... Big Frickin Deal!!!

So anyways, we were in the MOTEL for 3 days then the phone call came ... "Sorry but it looks like it will be until TUESDAY!" WHAT!!! The professional Plumbers do not work on Sundays!!! I was pissed ... Ok Tuesday it is mind you we had the boys with us during all of this and my hubby had to work too.

Things were going ok and then the phone call again ... "Sorry one more night." Found another problem... ok fine just fix it. We started packing everything up and were just about ready to put things in the car to GO home ...the phone rang again "I'm sorry , it looks like another night." Now I am beyond pissed I was very mad and was about to scream at the top of my lungs but that was going to do me no good.

Needless to say we are home but the story is not over yet ... I am just tired and need to go to bed so I will finish in the morning... Until then Good night to my blog family!!!

SO CAN ANYONE STAY HELLLLLLLOOOOOO???

I am back and here to stay!!!

After reading your blogs all I want to do is cry...

Please believe that there is a light at the end of this and that things will work out for the best for you and your family in your time of need.

I have made a prayer chain here for you and to let you know that your family is not alone in this and that we are all here for you!!! I understand all about the GAL and attorneys like what you are going through it just makes me sick to think that it has to keep happening to the best people!!!



Take this beautiful butterfly and keep it close to you and remember that you are not alone...
