I can feel my blood boiling...

This is a post to totally vent...
Just a warning...

Long story short...
Last week was total chaos.
The week before, we were noticing water outside our closet.
Last time that happened, it was the AC unit backing up...
Called the apartment, maintenance came and yes...
AC was clogged.
(This was a problem several times last year)
So, the next day, water is still there...
On the carpet.
Well, I left to take the boys home...
Marc was working...
Come home, floor SOAKING.
I went through who knows how many towels trying to dry it up...
Every single time Broxton walked on it, (he had to, it was in his way to get to his room)
He would slip and fall in the kitchen.
Called maintenance the next morning...
He comes back over...
Nope, it isn't the AC, he has no clue what it is that is causing water...
He then lifts the HOT WATER HEATER bottom up with a screwdriver...
Yep, That is the leak!
All over our floor.

He goes and gets a new one.
Drains the original, replaces with a new one.
Leaves.
Couple hours later, I notice... STILL no hot water.
He comes back...
Heater coil in there is not working..
Works forever and fixes it.
Our apartment smells like burnt marshmallows.

That was last weekend...
(Took place Friday through Sunday)
No, not getting better yet..

Monday -
I notice this sand looking stuff in the corner of Broxtons room..
AND the boys room...
I have no clue, call Marc in..
Is it bugs or something else?
Maybe termites.

Pest control comes Tuesday...
Yep, termites!
The pest control lady says she has to send her boss to treat it, because she doesn't do that.
I call and tell the apartment so they know..
We are under the impression that it will be resolved Thursday.
Thursday, I call the apartment.
They will call and see...
Never get a call back.
I see them and am told they will call Friday.
It is now Saturday, I called the apartment...
Oh, they never called..
They are with a client and will call and then call me back later.

Is it wrong that I am mad?
Or, my favorite word...
and Marc loves it...
I am LIVID!!!!

I mean, I am not asking if they know the schedule for when the Ice Cream Truck will be back around....
I am asking about FREAKING TERMITES IN OUR APARTMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update:
They are supposed to be here Monday...
Let's see...

    My goodness you all have really had some challenges! I hope that it will all be taken care of Monday. Termites are nothing to play around with.We had to deal with them about twelve years ago. We lived in an older farmhouse at the time and we saw some sawdust looking stuff on the floor and just a few days later there were hundreds of termites flying in the house trying to get out!

    I hope they show up on Monday! Not that you have anything better to do than sit around and wait for them, right? ;) Just kidding.

    Your post reminded me of a time that I got myself in a heap o' trouble for using the word LIVID to describe someone. LOL

    Wow, sorry you are having so MUCH trouble with them....crazy how people act like stuff isn't important as long as it's not in their bedroom or kitchen either....Are you going to stay there or look for a new place? I know moving is a huge pain, but this is way lax for them to be delaying upkeep like this...hope you have a better week! Angela

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
