things i’ve learned today

Number 1:  Knowing what the lyrics to Gangnam style mean in English does not make the song any better, or make it make any more sense.

Number 2: My neighbors humorousness is quickly being outweighed by their ability to irritate me.

My neighbors are, to put it kindly, the least classy people I’ve ever known.  Every conversation they’ve ever had in their entire lives has been shouted.  Day or night.  They are constantly waking Molly up at nap times.  Which…what am I going to do? Call the cops about the noise? In the middle of the day? I think not.    They smoke weed a ton and normally I would say ‘to each his own’ but the smoke comes up from their apartment directly into Molly’s room. And they always smoke around the same time of day.  8pm. Bedtime.  Now I have a little pot head in my house.  I swear she started waking up in the middle of the night again because she has the damn munchies.   

These two things alone I was willing to live with. We are not going to live here forever.  I’ve been researching steps I can take to help me solve the drug sharing problem.  HOWEVER, last week one of them decided that I was her friend apparently because she has been over every day asking for favors.  

First it was just: "do you have any money I can borrow, my baby is so sick and I don’t have gas money to get him to the hospital."  I felt bad. I’ll admit that maybe I’m a sucker but I gave her a few dollars and she went to the hospital. I talked to her about it later.   However, next it was, can I use your phone, can I borrow wipes, can I borrow diapers…..

I’m not a grocery store and I can’t afford to feed, cloth and diaper every baby in this neighborhood.  I feel like kind of a bitch but am I wrong?  You don’t need to answer this, I know I’m right.

So before I just enjoyed listening to them argue because their conversations hilarious.  The things they fight about really are funny.  But now it’s gotten slightly more complicated.  Not sure what to do yet but my brain is working on it.
