So much goes on during the Christmas Season.... and before that we were moving in to our new home (shortly before Thanksgiving)... My cat passed away two days after we officially moved in and had his shots updated.... Thanksgiving happened and the place became a mess again...we got half our stuff from storage organized and the baby decided to "reorganize"... The apartment complex charged us extra for clean up... I honestly believe those places set you up... they give you the cheapest crappiest stuff that looks nice when you first move in; but isn't built for everyday life... and then they charge they top of the line price to replace the crap they buy to actually replace it... The last place we rented hosed us like that(before we bought the house we moved out of 6 months ago), as well. We have other, more pressing bills that are justified... the apartment complex will have to wait their turn, creditors on no creditors.... The baby helps clean, then destroys things when you least expect it...trying to help (either us or herself). Sometimes, I wonder why I bother. But, I plug along with the help of others in the household, and off the love the family does give me... even at my grumpiest.
