"I'm the decider"

In the past week this seems to be Rory's motto. No she does not support Bush's plan to send 20,000 more troops . (By the way his plan is actually to send 21,500 , but who is counting , certainly not him) Rory seems to be in a very fussy stage. In fact as I type Marc is jogging in place with her in the baby Bjorn. She has been up since 7am and it is 8pm now. Not crying the whole time but enough of it . We do all the 5 S's from "Happiest Baby on the Block DVD' and this works until 10 minutes after we think we have her to sleep and put her in either bassinet, rocker , carseat we have tried it all. I feel like it started when her schedule became messed up this morning. Our power suddenly went out (again) I looked outside and Con ED was there. I went to the basement apartment where our landlords live and there was landlord's dad. They all know I have a newborn and have been working on the power for about 3 months now. The power goes out about once a week sometimes for the day . So this being the coldest day of the year I was upset. He acted as if he should not have either let me know and said it would be back on in a few minutes and acted as him I was just a crazy new mom. So after 1 hour and the temp dropping 7 degrees. I went back downstairs . No one was there so now I throw on my shoes to go outside. Con Ed is pulling away and I am chasing him down the street. Wait ! Wait ! I still dont have power ! The Con Ed guy says he turned on all the breakers but agrees to come back and take a look. She we go back in . he asks me if I have a key to the basement apartment . Umm NO! Oh then I can't do anything . So now I had to find me landlord. All the while Rory is screaming. It takes a while but the landlord comes back and acts like it is the electricians fault. So the temp in our apartment was at 55 degrees by the time the heat went on. I really hate this place . I want to move but the thought of packing up everything and moving yet again is unthinkable. Oh and it is not just this one thing . It has been this way since we moved in August. when it rains water comes in the windows , drafts through the house , recycling issues where they blamed us for a ticket but we recycle correctly and it was there shit that got the ticket. They paid it but blamed us and said that next time we would have to pay. And they wrote a nasty letter and then dug through our trash on recycling day to make sure we did it right ! They had not moved in yet and we put to potted mums on the front steps outside and were told we could not do that . They still had not moved in downstairs and we put up Christmas lights and where told by the mother in law that her daughter (she is landlords wife) was devastated because she wanted to put up the lights . BUT NO ONE BUT US LivE HERE! they moved in when we were in the hospital after Christmas. Wow this blog turned in to a huge Bitch session thanks for listening.
