Can't wait to get away from the old place, huh?

Good luck with moving everything, I hope it all goes smoothly!

[RainbowEarthFaerie]

Yes. We HATE this place. HATE it. I would never wish this apartment complex on anyone.

[SleepyMamaBear]

sounds like my old place.
only i traded ghetto crappy for living with my family.: i'm not sure which is worse.
at least there is a pool here

[RainbowEarthFaerie]

well, we don't have a pool...but we have a park.

[SleepyMamaBear]

so, we are close to a bus line, two actually, no 3 actually two run the same route. so um if y'all ever wanted to come swimm.........
hurry up and move, then come enjoy the pool.

[asianyoushi]

what apartment complex would u not wish on anyone???? just so i know not to move there.

[RainbowEarthFaerie]

Wexford Apartments on 17th Ave in Hillsboro. Or any other apartments run by Linda or Sean LaVelle.

Sean isn't bad, but Linda is all up in your business.

[asianyoushi]

[Momma2DoubleCuties]

: Hey all just keeping busy with the "farm" we got 25 meat chickens and 3 turkeys today. The chicks are day olds and the turkeys are 2 months. Thanksgiving and Christmas is going to taste yummy!! Sorry vegan/vegetarians...

I'll try to check in more this month but man...summer is going by way too fast!!!

I have some other stuff to reply to but it will have to wait. I want to share what happened today while I have a chance. I don't even know where to start. We were rear ended in the Benz. Just the baby and me. We are OK, but I am quite sore. I am worried about how I will feel tomorrow. The entire back was smashed in and I was hit into the person in front of me. I was in complete shock and just kept saying "oh my god" over and over. The keys were knocked out of the ignition, so I had to find them to even turn off the car. Then I couldn't get the back door open at first. I must have had that super mommy power going because I yanked it to get the baby and it opened. Then it wouldn't even come close to closing. It was like two inches off! The entire back window shattered, and there were pieces of glass in Akasha's carseat! But miraculously there wasn't a scratch on her! Ron drove right over. He said the entire frame is bent, and that means they are going to have to total it. I am so sad about this. There goes our
biodiesel car. I am also worried about if this is going to affect my back. It would be a bummer to not be able to babywear, but it will be terrible as I think we are going to move and I need to pack. This is enough stress for our family. I feel like I am at the breaking point.

Is Lisa not feeling well? Besides the financial stuff? Lisa, I have been meaning to ask you what exactly does Ron do/is he looking for? Sean wants to know and I only know its tech related.

I am having a really challenging week. I think its transitioning from being home from vacation, at least, I hope its not becoming a pattern of contrariness around here. We had a tough time at griffin oaks the other day, I won't be going back there for awhile. Its a fine park but the girls will remember the conflicts we had there and might repeat them. My children were running through a public park with no clothes on and their bodies mostly covered in mud, with no regard to my chasing them all over and using my sternest voice. There were not unsafe (not near roads) but totally out of control. So I am taking a break from wide open spaces for a little while. Sorry we missed you that day, Eliza, I must have missed you by just a minute or two. Glad you got the keys today!

Oh, and could you all keep my niece in your thoughts this weekend? She is being induced tonight and her baby will likely be in the NICU for awhile. I might be going to see her while in labor tomorrow, if she wants me there. I am actually looking forward to attending a potentially traumatic labor over another day with my kids. I need a break that badly. Although I wonder how I will hold up, I have never attended a birth besides my own.

ETA: Double posted with you Lisa, omg, that is so scary! Let us know if you need anything.

Hopefully, this month gives us some better luck, huh?

OH HI! I know you! LOL.

If I stop being so anti-social, I should go to one (or four) of these! I bet Oliver and Bekah are old enough to seriously play together more now! Or at least Bekah can lust over O's shoes, which she has a habit of doing.

Oh Wow. How scary!
I'm so sorry, Lisa. You have been dealt some crappy cards, lately. Hope, things start looking up from here on out. So glad and relieved to hear you are both ok, though.

I hear ya on the park, thing, Kate. I have been taking a break from it for the same reason. I just can't handle feeling helpless anymore. Next time, we go, James has to come with us, cuz she just won't listen to me. And yes, I totally recommend a break..even short ones. It always does wonders for me in the patience department.

I'll be keeping your niece in my thoughts. I have never attended a birth either. so, sorry, no advice there, but I'm sure you'll do great.

Yes. You should definately join us (not sure I'll be there, but you will have a great time)

and Oliver is soo cute. He was flirting with my dd (Amira) at the park, last time. He's so adorable.

[Arwyn]

Oh geez Lisa! Can we get you to a chiropractor? Do you have anyone you like around here? (Anita Stephan?) We're not exactly rolling in dough either, but if you make an appointment for the two of you, I can make sure it gets paid for.

And yes, although we just recycled a bunch, I think we do still have moving boxes. I'm gone most of next week, but I can probably make it out Monday to help with whatever you need (and maybe watch Orion while you see a chiro?).
