World's Worst Tenants

When people hear about my internship for the last few months and that Melissa isn't living with me during the week, they almost always ask the same question: What's it like living with single guys again?
Disgusting.
Was my apartment as gross as this? Were me and past roommates as lame as current roommates?

I thought about posting pictures to let others see how gross some of the conditions are - but I figure there's no reason to make others sick (kind of me, eh?) Now I've done some pretty weird things in the past as well, but usually there was a dare or cash involved. 
Most recent things that have amazed me:

  • Going to bed after cleaning the kitchen, and waking up to a filthy kitchen with dried Ramen everywhere. What'd they do, have a Ramen Noodle party?
  • Pop everywhere (that's right, I said pop... not soda). Are they experimenting by replacing their blood with Mtn Dew? One of them told me that he goes through 2-3 12-packs within a half week or so.
  • Seen them leave pizza in a box for days, before they reheat it for dinner...again.
  • Just tonight I saw hot pocket wrappers in the trash next to the toilet. Who eats hot pockets in the bathroom... And there were 2 wrappers. So I can only assume they were kicking back on the porcelain while eating. New meaning for "food to go."
Melissa just recommended a show to me called "World's Worst Tenants." It's about a team of eviction specialists that do the management's dirty work for difficult tenants. The lead character is an overcompensating, muscly, ex-marine with a temper and a lifted SUV. I've thought about what would happen if he came in contact with my roommates... But he'd probably end up breaking them within a few minutes as my gamer roommates have no subcutaneous fat on them. He could probably break me as well, but I like to think that my fluff helps pad me from being injured as quickly.

Well thankfully I have only a month left! Woohoo!

My reality check

Remember how in my last few posts I talked about how we were teaching Channing to put himself back to sleep by letting him cry it out?  Since Channing has been sick for over a week that has all gone down the drain....  The poor kid is so congested all the time.  When we wakes up at night he usually will not take his binky and fall back asleep.  Instead he needs his nose suctioned, which usually requires Justin holding Channing's head still or it's impossible.  And lately he will not go back to sleep at all until he's fed again.  Last night it was every 3 hours.  I don't know if it's because his throat hurts or he just wants to be held.  Whatever the reason, nights have been a little rough around here.  Oh, and his naps during the day have been pretty bad.  Crying a lot before falling asleep and then only sleeping for 20 or 30 minutes.  Motherhood is definitely a 24/7 job.  With no lunch breaks.  And get this!  Channin...

Happy Halloween!

I wanted to do a quick Halloween post so I won't ever forget how adorable Channing was.  He was a scarecrow this Halloween.  We used a pair of his overalls and I sewed on a few patches of material and then we stuffed his pockets with straw.  The paint on the nose thing didn't work so well...he rubbed it off the first time around.  Our ward did a trunk-or-treat in the parking lot.  Channing was a little skeptical about it all when we first started.  But he quickly got the hang of walking up to people, grabbing candy, and putting it in his bucket.  Someone gave him a sucker and he immediately had to have it!  At least he's easy to please!  Such a friendly scarecrow...had to say bye to the trick-or-treaters as they left.

Ooooh crap

   Merry Christmas! It's December 12th and beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!  The tree is decorated and we are slowly adding presents underneath it.  What's new with the Hamilton crew? Well let me tell ya.  Justin is starting a new job as St Alphonsus's webmaster next Monday.  Which means I can kiss my daytime freedom goodbye.  Since February Justin has been working at home with a start up company called RealResultsOnline.  So if I had both kids down for a nap I could easily leave the house to go grocery shopping or whatever.  Now I'm heading back to the reality of being a stay at home mom.  Anyways...I'm sure I'll survive.  Because what choice do I have?!  We'll miss you Justin....  Especially Channing.  That kid loves peeking in on Justin during the day and getting in lots of daddy play time.  But we think this new job will give us better opportunities for the future.  So yes, I gotta suck it up!...
