Day 8! I would have journaled for the 6th and 7th day but the only time I found was when I was laying in bed playing on my iphone and by then I'm mostly brain dead. I just can't form complete thoughts at 10pm anymore.
This weekend was rough. It was beyond rough. I don't do well with stress. I hate stress. I was scrubbing every surface of my kitchen sunday night threatening to dig a hole somewhere and bury myself just so I won't have to deal with anything else going to crap. I swear.. it's an every other day occurance anymore. If it doesn't have something to do with the farm then it has something to do with my house back home or it has something to do with someone getting hurt or sick. I can only take so much!
Sunday my breaking point was getting calls from both tenants at the house. The downstairs tenant called the cops on the upstairs tenant claiming that they took dog crap, smashed it into the cement in front of her door, and put an easter bunny on top for her. The upstairs tenant claims they never did that and she's crazy and the downstairs tenant did it to her own porch. Nevermind there shouldn't be any dog crap! This is what I get for telling a tenant they can have a dog. They promise and swear they are picking up after their dog and everything goes to well.. crap. These are two middle age women who fight like kids about EVERYTHING. I want to evict both of them. I never want to hear from either of them again. The place wont sell. I've contacted 2 real estate agents who can't seem to return my calls or do anything to list it. Why can't a meteor fall from the sky and destroy it or something? At this point I just wish the thing would disappear. Crap.
The farm lost more land. Only 18 acres but an acre is an acre. We thought we could get more land next year from the home farm but it probably won't happen because one brother-in-law doesn't like land contracts. That one just completely blows my mind. Hubby is all discouraged. I can only tell him to retire from farming and become a stripper so many times. Crap.
My mother in law is babysitting next week... The sitter needs a day off so I was going to take a vacation day but hubby asked his mom if she wanted to babysit. I love this woman but she's never babysat little man. She doesn't see him that often. He cries when she holds him because he doesn't know her that well. I know.. this may be a good thing. He should know his grandma and get to know her better and love when she holds him. I also know I'm going to be a complete basket case that day and I don't want to say no that's ok you don't have to watch him because I think it would hurt her feelings now that hubby asked. Crap.
9 yr old has to go to the doctor for some wierd thing on her foot. I have no clue. I noticed yesterday it looks like one of her adult teeth coming down is causing a bump. It could be because the babytooth is still there and she won't wiggle the thing. Or.. her tooth is coming out wonky. I have a drs apt. This is the month of drs apts! At some point my boss is going to give me the stink eye if I take off any more time. CRAP!!
So yes.. I ate like crap. I worked the crap off. But then I ate more crap. Then I felt bad for eating crap. I'm crampy, I'm stressed, I'm crabby, and I need to dig a hole.. and hide. Or dig a hole and hide with an entire bottle of wine... But I can't because a kid would find me and ask "Momma.. why are you in a hole sucking down a bottle of wine?" Crap. Crappy crappy crap crap. Crap.
Is crap a curse word? I will be back when I can stop saying crap.

Crap is a perfectly acceptable word, it is not cursing. Um...I have to ask, does your daughter normally grow teeth on her foot? Because that would seriously necessitate a doctors visit, to me. Probably more than one. Or are the foot comment and the tooth comment totally unrelated? It does sound like a craptastic weekend all around. Do you think you'd be able to rent the house if you notify both tenants that they are leaving? Once dog crap starts getting smeared and each blames the other, it is clearly time for them to go. And their little dog too. The little man will get used to grandma, that's the least craptastic of all things-he'll fuss, she'll give him a cookie, they'll be best of friends from that point. Not worth stressing over; she did, after all, raise your husband to adulthood, so little man is unlikely to suffer lasting damage in care of his grandma. Some of this you cannot do anything about, some of it you can but it'll be uncomfortable, and some of it you should push the worry off onto someone else. The husband can do all the worrying about the lack of land contract and the little man being with grandma. If you go and scream at the tenants you may feel better, but they may also leave, though at this point that doesn't really sound like such a terrible thing. I understand totally the being found thing-my husband is home ill (and he NEVER stays home from work ill, he'll go in dragging a broken bone). He's following me around, listless and apathetic, can't really talk, doesn't seem to want to listen when I try to tell him funny things to cheer him up. I love him, I know he doesn't feel at all good, but I can't do anything about it and he's driving me batshit following me around. Sorry, I know that's not terribly helpful and that it sounds like I'm trying to solve your problems as if you aren't an adult, just trying in my own crazy way to commiserate. um...did I read that right? Chobani has a blood orange flavor? BRB-heading for the store right now! I LOVE blood oranges!

Boooo, all the troubles seem to pour in at once and get ya. Especially if you are crampy = TOM, which for me means I just blow everything up that would normally be less of a big deal. Sorry you had such a crap weekend, hopefully the week gets better from here on out!

Stop and take a deep breath! Just my 2 cents, but just for kicks, if you have a lawyer friend I would run your tenant problem past them. You are protected from all that crap and don't have to deal with it. I am sure your lease has something in it to get you out of the loop. Why not just a 'for sale' sign up on the house on your own? I bet your tenants will notice pretty quick, LOL.

It must royally suck to be a landlord to two nasty tenants. I think you should plant dog poop in both their steps and watch them rumble!

That's really crappy! Have some wine and some B-Complex. That will help with the PMSy stuff.

I like the wine idea! Thynes can help me go through the rest of the 6-pack from the farm show winery stand.. thingy. You realize you may be going brain dead when everything starts to end in thingy.

No brain dead is when you not only call the kids by each others name (which is normal) but you do it even when one is a boy and the other is a girl and THEN you add the dog in the mix!! Yes... in my life Ryan, Madelyn and Mack are now completely interchangable... I even called one of them Mack on vacation and the dog WAS NOT with us!

What does it mean when you add the husbands name to the mix?
08 Apr 13 by member: Ms Elizabeth

oh I do that... that's normal

I've called the husband by the male child's name-we all do it. Perfectly normal.
