yesterday: brought some more stuff of mine over to sarah's house then hung out there for the afternoon. i left addison there for a bit so i could go to the store and get some plastic totes and a couple other things. i have a few stuffed animals from my childhood that i want to keep but dont necessarily want out for the world to see, haha. plus i have been using a couple of sarahs so i needed to replace those. it was pouring out and of course since it was saturday the store was busy and i had to park a mile and a half away. sooo my shirt was polka dotted with rain by time i got in the store, then this guy must have thought he was hilarious because he asked me if it was raining. i also got some plastic drawer things for inside my closet. i am going from a quite large walk in closet to a super small closet, so i gotta make the most of the space :) keepin it classy!
today: is a lazy day. i am hoping to mop later, i already swept but i'm not sure if i want to mop... too lazy. i REALLY need to vacuum but addison is afraid of it and screams whenever i turn it on unless she is being preoccupied with someone else. i did a little more packing today, i finally packed up michaels clothes and went through some stuff in the garage. i'll probably bring that stuff to sarahs soon. its kind of hard for me to judge how much stuff i need to pack still because our house is full of julias furniture and what not so it kind of gives a false illusion of how much stuff we really have/dont have. i think i can get the rest done in the next few days though, so i need to stop packing stuff before i accidently pack it all! ha.
totally different subject. our landlord died a few months back and she was super emotionally attached to this house. so she basically went to her parents and complained about every single little teeny detail that we did and made us out to be terrible, dirty people. which you who know me, know that that is so far from the truth. yes, i need to vacuum and mop, but thats just because i havent done it in TWO DAYS. two days. so yes, our house is clean. it might not be "museum clean" because i have a baby and 3 dogs living here. so, michael called the parents today to talk to them about our large deposit that we made upon moving in, and some other things. they basically started the call in B word mode and finished it in the same mode. needless to say, we wont be getting our deposit back. we might even have to pay for damages that we didnt even do. julia's (our landlord) last tenants were i'm assuming less than super clean because there was trash in the backyard which invited mice over. those mice chewed into the siding to get underneath the house. julia knew this happened before she passed away, so i'm pretty positive she wouldnt have charged us to fix this. but since her parents think we are the scum of the earth, we may have to pay. and although this is a terrible thing to do and say, i said "well, lets just leave and not give them any further contact information" and normally, maybe that would work out... except our next door neighbor is a police officer. who is (really obviously) on julias side. when she first passed away, ed (neighbor) and his wife came over with julias best friend and cleaned out the 3rd garage stall which had all of julias personal belongings (she moved to alaska to be with her family but left a LOT of stuff here), and i thought they were just being nice... until i thought about it. and i think they thought we were going to steal her stuff. which i wouldnt ever do. why would i want to do that? why would anyone steal someone elses stuff? i'm not that person. i feel as though i am a good person with my head on straight. but everyone who julia was close to thinks that michael and i are terrible gross people. it actually kind of offends me. we are paying to get the carpets shampoo'd because, like i said, there are 3 dogs here and 3 grown ups. so there is the normal wear and tear of traffic marks and a couple dog throw up spots (thanks tank). i will probably spend 2 days straight cleaning the walls and window sills, all the little stuff that you dont really clean on a day to day basis. all that cleaning and not even getting our deposit back. not even like $100. they are basically just taking our money, as julia basically said as long as we clean up and leave the house in the same condition as when we moved in, we would get our money back. michael said they're taking money from a young wife and her baby, whos husband is deployed. haha. jerks... and they say they support the military and they come from a military background. oh and about the walls, they were dirty when we moved in but i'm sure her parents dont realize that. so not only am i going to be cleaning our own mess, i am cleaning her last tenants mess, which annoys me. julia said she would get that done before we moved in, but she didnt. that among many other things. ugh. annoyed.
the apple didnt fall far from that family tree.

i feel mostly better in case anyone was wondering. i dont quite feel 100% but i'm at about 92%. still drinking gatorade and i think i might have more chicken noodle soup for dinner.
addison loves her johnny jump up thing still. doesnt jump in it yet, just kind of stands there and wobbles around. she learned how to move around in a circle though!
PS. i'm super excited still about going to another ellen taping. this time will be much better because we wont be pregnant and hot, and hurting our bums from having to sit on metal benches for hours and hours. and we'll get some more delicious gelato from the italian restaurant down the street. ahhh i'm soooo stinkin excited!!
