I'm Moving

I'm outta here. I am going to move somewhere special, just a few requirements.
1- Money will grow on trees
2- No one will mark my blog as "abusive" on facebook
3- My neighbors will not complain when I walk around my apartment
4- No one will hit my car while it is parked and not leave a note
5-Everything will go as I plan it
6-It will NOT be an apartment

I think these are reasonable. I'm not asking for too much am I?

I woke up this morning, walked the dog as usual { since while living in an apartment my dog does not have the option to just go in the yard } After the dog was finished and my son had filled his pockets with rocks for his collection we headed up for breakfast. After some scrambled eggs we were off to work. A great short work day and we were headed home for nap time. As the apartment was silent I received a lovely phone call. My new neighbors below have complained of loud banging and slamming of doors....today? Yes today, and other days this week. Okay, well unless my black lab was slamming doors all day I think they may be crazy. And since I have a toddler running around most doors say shut to keep him contained, so no doors have been slammed this week. I not so kindly explained this to the not so nice apartment lady,and she told me they would see if it was maybe another apartment they were hearing, I told her that was a good idea. I just know that the new couple below us has not lived in an apartment for a very long time, if ever. I find it amusing that people believe they will not hear someone living above them, so I am sorry for walking around my apartment and chasing my child,maybe they should live on the top floor, or maybe they should just deal with it and be happy they don't live below college kids who love to party. We have lived here three years now {that was not the plan} and we have never had anyone complain about us. The apartment people have complained.... we couldn't have a shovel on our patio, and most recently I was forced to take down my wind chime I got for Christmas{I am still mad about this one} I don't think I can handle anymore of this apartment living, it's just not for me. I want a house, or a townhouse. I want a yard, I want a driveway {this may sound silly, but I've never had a driveway, so it would make me SO happy} There are a lot of things I may want, but I know that without that money tree I will just have to keep waiting. Hopefully not too long for the house though, I refuse to sign another lease at this place. No way. So I recover from my call from the not so nice apartment lady, and the family is ready to head out to dinner. That's when I see it, another not so nice person has hit the side of my car, and yes I mean hit, it's not just a scratch, it's a decent sized dent in the side of my car. Great. And is there a note? No, that makes them even more not nice. Tomorrow I plan on searching for suspects in the lot, not that I know what I would do if I found the offender. But I did have a wonderful time with my little man today, and he was an angel at dinner, we actually looked like we had an amazingly well behaved toddler as the child next to us had a breakdown. This was a new experience, and it was nice. And I did not "glare" at the poor Mom next to us trying to calm her daughter, it didn't bother me one little bit. Once September rolls around and we move out of this apartment I will be SO thrilled to open the back door and let the dog out, I will even clean up her "bizness" so my son can enjoy the yard I hope to have. {it doesn't have to be big to please me, it just has to exist} I hope to enjoy the beautiful weather tomorrow, finish the laundry, and possibly meet someone who is giving away houses and money trees. As long as I get to talk to some nice people I will be happy. And I am sure my little guy will come up with a new way to make me laugh, and as usual, it will make my day.
