Where did all the good people go ?
This Jack Johnson song keeps going through my head. I feel like in the last 2 weeks my little family has been taking a lot of punches. I think it started a day or 2 before we left Maine when a crazy bookstore owner accused Rory of ripping a book. She had been right next to me the whole time and suddenly this woman grabbed her arm and and said she had ripped this 35 dollar signed childerns book. I have not blogged about this because I am not proud of my reaction. Don't piss off Mama bee because the Hive is not that stable . Anyway Rory started crying and her arm was red from where the woman grabbed her. I did not know the woman was the owner . I have been going there ever summer for years. Those of you that know me well know I love books and if Rory had ripped a book i would buy it immediately but she was no where near this book and had been at my side or in my arms the 3 minutes we were there. Anyway the woman called the police but they told me that she has early dimentia and is not right. Then we get home and basically are told that there will be construction done , I did not mention that they said that we could stay and they would do it in piece meal but WTF so we told them we would leave. They found 3 guys to live there and even though we worked so hard to leave the place spottless are taking half our deposit because they said we only gave them 2 weeks notice !! but we were on vacation !! and they had our phone # and they knew we were on vacation becasue we asked if they could water our plants!! and brought them 2 nice bottles of wine for doing it . Then i still dont have my cobra info and DHL tried to deliver it but our buzzer was broken (I did not know) So i called DHL and asked if next time they could call my cell PLEASE and they said "your buzzer being broken is not our problem" So I still dont have it and it is almost the end of the month . Next the doctor I changed to left the practice one week after he looked me in the eyes and we went over my NEW birth plan. I found out offically when I went to my appt. So i have to change to another doctor that is not as aggressive about VBAC's . Also when we looked at this apt we were told that a family lived upstairs from us. I was happy because that meant that they would proably go to bed at a normal hour and we would not have any noise issues. Well there is not family there is 4 middle eastern men all living in the same size apt as we are. They are up all hours of the night . I am so sad I just want Rory to sleep through the night but it is impossible. I dont know what we should have done differently . Look longer ... we only had so much time. I dont know what to do. And then i basically lost a friend of 20 years. I dont know what is going on with her but I can't deal with it anymore. What she did the other night is unforgivable and I have no choice.
