Lol eternity. Never said eternity.
There is no way your apartment complex can say 'you must be out by 730 or your SOL.'
Technically they aren't, however if you do choose to leave and cause damage to the project, you will be held liable for that cost. I have no money, I'm not taking that risk. The pool can wait, I had no other plans other than to donate blood. This is just a good incentive to keep on applying for jobs. The most irritation I have about it is that I really wanted to go swimming. First World Problems, we all have them.

FWP indeed. "I'm unemployed and I can't go to the pool!"
Anyway, I have had the laziest day and it's been great. I'm letting L just do whatever she wants, which is mostly color and watch Spongebob. Lots of TV, I don't care. And we went to Five Guys for lunch. She had very little interest in her grilled cheese but she enjoyed the people watching. That place is busy as fuck.
But now that you mention the pool, maybe I'll go over for a bit when H gets home.
I can't get my baby to nap any where but on me. How do I break this habit urghh
How old is your baby? Does he/she just immediately wake when you try to put him or her down?
11 weeks(young still) and yes immediately when I put her down. I have tried doing when drowsy but than she screams worse. I think part of the problem is she still likes to curl up her legs and she flails and wakes herself up. We have tried swaddle and she despises it. It is weird because she will go asleep at night in her RnP like a champ for 8+ hours but daytime naps are a fight. We are also working on transitioning to crib at night, which worked weds and for about 3 hrs last night before I put her back in RnP.
But I don't get it. What if there were a fire? A medical emergency? WTF do you do then? They can't barricade you into your only method of egress and then hold you liable if you "damage" their work. WTF kind of a building do you live in? Are you posting from jail?

My advice, speaking from personal experience, is try to enjoy it. Because one of these days they will refuse to even sit still for 5 seconds in your arms, and it will break your heart, and you will remember all those times you held them as they slept and wished away the time.
I tell myself to enjoy it, but I am getting tired of being her everything 24-7 and that makes me feel guilty. I told DH that I needed tomorrow by myself to window shop and be away to regain some sanity.

They would have to make emergencies the exception as there's only one way in and out if there were to be an emergency. If I got a bill for repairs to damage caused by me fleeing my home in an emergency, they would find themselves in court once again. Everything else, you're liable. I live in a complex that has many HOA rules but no involvement, unless you're breaking one of the rules of course.
Seriously, it's a FWP. In 2 hours they will be gone and I can come and go as I please. However the pool will not be an option as the kids infest it around that time.

You've taken them to court before?
Not myself, personally. They were involved in a lawsuit not too long ago over the installation of the plumbing systems. Part of the settlement entailed new plumbing, new tubs, and an update on the overall complex.

I get disproportionately upset when people use "I have a family" as an excuse in every argument with me. I have a family too jerks! My H and dog totally count as a family and the fact that you have children does not make your needs more important than mine. I am especially annoyed this time because the person pulling it has 25 year old children. I do not feel I should have to make special accomodations so that someone can treat their 25 year olds like little kids. This is compounded by the fact that she struggled with infertility, so you'd think she'd have more sense than to pull the "you don't matter because you have no baby" junk that the rest of the women in my family pull. /end rant
I'm making one of those fabric flower bouquets and hoping it doesn't suck. I sewing pearls on now. It doesn't look as good as the tutorial but it's not "nailed it" bad either. Lol.

I think I might go into NYC for the pride march on sunday. I'm going to wait an see if my excitement or my anxiety wins, but I did look up the train times, so that's something.

too true, Tamb. Too true.
come on now. it's true, but it also TOTALLY sucks when you're thirsty and there are no drinks nearby and your punk ass infant is sleeping on you and you're afraid that trying to move will be like indiana jones swapping the sculpture for a bag of rocks and release ancient chaos.
ETA: and simplypengin, woman up and do something about your alleged woes. don't make me and others regret our sympathy.

My day of happy anniversary joy has turned into a day of crap. I didn't get 2 contracts in I was counting on. I realized the shitstorm of work I need to complete before leaving for vacation next week. I got my period. I'm crabby and I miss my husband.
So I've decided to start drinking champagne to finish out the work day. It is already making me feel better
Is no one laughing at my sig? I thought it was hilarious!*
*No cartoons were harmed in the creation of this gif. I think.
Only because I'm pmsing, emotional, and my late dog was named Simba. LOL Ri-damn-diculous.
On another note: H has been reading something out loud for the last 3 minutes or so from The Chive... I think he is reading it to me? I have no idea. Am I supposed to be listening? Should I throw an "Uh huh" his way?
I *hate* when H does this to me. Or makes me watch a youtube video.
