Caution: This blog contains some venting

I honestly try not to be a whiner and complainer (TRY being the important word here). But the one thing I absolutely can't help but complain about is our apartment. It is such a disappointment because we really thought it was going to be an improvement over our last apartment.

It wouldn't be so bad if there were only one or two problems, but seriously, everything is bad.

-The toilet is perpetually clogged, no matter what
-The sink/garbage disposal has broken 3 times
-The heat doesn't actually heat all of the rooms
-The amenities, such as the "playground, which only consists of a jungle gym, suck!
-Our downstairs neighbors are loud, obnoxious people who are extremely inconsiderate, and their dogs never stop barking, and they're always pooping on the sidewalk right where I have to walk (the dogs, not the people)
-The carpet is coming up and we find gross things like cigarette butts and random tiny little balls of metal (huge choking hazard!) underneath it
-The road is one giant pot hole
-There is no insulation in our outer walls, so when we open our living room closet it is just as cold as if we had opened the front door in the middle of a snow storm


Sorry. I just had to vent. I get so mad.

After this, I'm pretty sure anywhere we move to will seem like the Ritz!

i'm sorry micayla. when we lived at fox meadow i felt the same way--like we lived on the edge of humanity at an outpost of crazies. it was dirty, when we moved into our apartment it was freshly painted but the carpet was GROSS our neighbors did drugs and played music soooo loud that our walls SHOOK. our next door neighbors smoked and i could smell/taste it in our apartment our other next door neighbors had a barking dog. the playground was vandalized daily and to top it all off we had days and days without water. and then, just before we moved (about a month) we had a ground bee attack--they lived right in front of our house and would swarm us everytime we entered. it was scary and the management didn't care. and that's not even mentioning the dog crap everywhere, the trash and broken glass. God bless you sister--i know how hard it is to live somewhere you think you're going to love and then find out it's like the pit of hell. sorry, that was a bit dramatic--this just brought up all of those buried feelings about fox meadow =( you can come live in my attic room--no dog crap or loud music here and we all go to bed at 9. =)

Thanks for the empathy. :-) I hate complaining, but it's nice to get it all out sometimes
