The Joys of Apartment living

I swear i was so mad i could hurt someone this morning! UGH.. I dont have to live with too many of the downsides of renting an apartment, my father owns the triplex that we live in..we pay him rent, but its a reduced rent because i do take care of many things for him and hey we are family.. I can paint the walls, i can redecorate..i can change the flooring and actually i dont even have to pay for any of it cause he can write it off on his taxes... so thats all been great..heck the only reason we would want to move is because we would want to own something of our own or need more space, but right now even thats not an issue, we have a very spacious two bed two bath apartment, with a patio..its great..its prolly like 1000 sq feet.. But anyways..

The downside..having people live on either side of you.. One side is dad and thats fine..he doesn't make much noise..however the other side is a tenant and her daughter has a tendency to play loud rap music... well the neighbors complained so my dad had a talk with her about it, so hopefully that has stopped for good. BUT another nuisance..is that they went away for the weekend and the daughters alarm clock when off at 6:02am this morning.. now johns alarm clock went off at 6am..waking me up, though he had already left for work.. and then i heard their alarm clock, faintly from our bedroom... and i knew that since auroras room is the one the is directly next to the daughters room that it was louder in there.. I laid there awake awhile to see if it woke aurora up, but it didnt... Well i wake up at 7:20am...alarm still going off and my daughter is crying! Its like freaking torture.

Now i have a key to that apartment and i could go in there and unplug the thing, but i dont like going in there without letting them know..however this noise has got to stop and they wont be here all weekend so its going to go off all weekend.. Its dads building so i want him to take care of it.. so i call him and call him and he isnt answer..so i haul aurora in her pjs with me in mine over to dads front door and he opens it and at this point im mad.. so im half screaming about how they left the alarm on...extra... and he takes the keys and goes in and unplugs the thing.. and i told him to tell them when they get back that they cant go around doing that crap. Its bad enough that i have to hear their dog whine like a dying animal sometimes at night..it got so bad he had to ask them to board the dog somewhere when they left because he just whines and whines and the neighbors had complained about it time and time again..dad could hear it at his unit.. ugh..

Anyways.. the joys of apartment living..ahhh...
