It is the small things...

That irritate the bejeezus out of me...
Ok... so, we have been battling this "mold" issue in this house for a long time now and we have finally requested to move in to new housing. CJ is only 6 months old and has not had a "good" day yet between the nasal type allergies or eczema.... well... anyways... we think it has a lot to do with this house. Sydney and Chris have also been suffering from other sorts of crapola... probably contributed to being here also. So... I can smell mold from a million miles away... maybe it is just me and I have a sensitive sniffer... but... I dont know.. We have these old neighbors of ours who will often pop in UNANNOUNCED mind you... and man... they need to NOT leave their clothing sitting in the washer for days on end or to at least run some bleach through the darned washer... They WREAK of mold... and it burns the bejeezus out of my nose! I hate that they come parading over to my house and leave wafts of their odor as they walk by me.. or sit on my furniture... or HOLD my baby! Or... their children play on my childrens beds/toys/bikes/furniture etc. HOW CAN THEY NOT SMELL IT?!?!?! ALL of the family smells like it... I dont GET it.... Take your mold somewhere ELSE!
I HATE UNANNOUNCED VISITS... IF you CALL my house and I DO NOT answer the telephone.... MOST LIKELY I AM NOT UP FOR COMPANY.... DO NOT take it upon yourself to send your children TO MY HOUSE TO PLAY.... WITHOUT having permission from ME.... and then EXPECT that the kids can STAY here and play while you sit and play video games and eat dinner and take a nap and everything else while your children are uninvitedly playing at MY house.... AND TELL YOUR KIDS THEY CAN NOT JUST WALK IN TO SOMEBODYS HOUSE AND GO TO THE PLAYROOM AND PLAY..... OR WALK THROUGH YOUR HOUSE IN TO YOUR BACKYARD AND PLAY WITH OUR STUFF...
Another little irritating thing is people asking to borrow our stuff.... ok... it is one thing if a neighbor asks to borrow the weed wacker because she needs to do her lawn, her husband is out to sea, they have a weed wacker and she just doesnt know how to make the mixture.. it is ANOTHER THING if I barely know you.... you annoy the heck out of me at times... you call my house incessantly... and THEN you call my house and ask to borrow our lawn mower AND our weed wacker when you live 1/2 a mile away! GO ASK a neighbor... or BETTER YET... GO BUY YOUR OWN lawn mower and weed wacker.... Seriously... WE HAD to.... WE do not rely on anyone for anything.... Maybe I am selfish or mean... but we take CARE of our stuff... OH and this person wanted our STEAM cleaner also last week.... WE do NOT want YOU to borrow our steam cleaner if your dog is shitting and pissing everywhere.. OUR dog does NOT do such things so why would i want my steam cleaner to have your dog's stench in MY Steam cleaner??? WE HAVE A kid with serious allergies and I dont want to be bringing anyone elses fuzzy business in to my house... GOD knows there is probably fleas on the dog too... grrr.... WE do the best WE can to take care of OUR life... TAKE care of yours... and that doesnt mean CALLING me to borrow my appliances... OH and then we have the family with the mold problem who borrowed our lawn chairs for over a month.. and WE had to say... HEY... we need our chairs back... If we were to borrow something from someone... you bet your behind the items are returned in a very timely fashion....
ooopps.... now I feel bad because I borrowed cake pans (to make my pretty basketball cake) and I have to get them back to their rightful owner! I WAS looking for a round cake pan.. but you know what.... since I could not find mine and didnt have a way to borrow one ... briefly that is... I BOUGHT 2 ROUND CAKE PANS YESTERDAY.... and the ones I borrowed will be returned by 1pm today! man.. im guilty of what makes me mad huh.????ah whatever... I borrowed the pans from someone who is close to us and sees us regularly... etc.... grr...
I am sure there will be a part 2 to this! HAHAHH!

now I feel bad for looking for a round cake pan from neighbors...

Crap, I stopped by unannounced last week! Sorry, it won't happen again! Oh, can I borrow your lawn mower?

We had a mold/dog urine smell (keep in mind we don't have a dog) since Feb when we moved into our new apt...it just got fixed last week so I feel for you! We found that Lysol nutri-air masked the odor decently but it was definately only a very temporary fix. Good luck!
