Good lord, Sophia -- what a lot of stress! They told you heat was included, and have now changed their minds? That doesn't seem right.

I have the official OK to slack -- I told the woman I'm working with that I pretty much need to sit down with her before I can really do anything, and she's out of the office most of the day, as it turns out. So that's nice.

So far, I have not had to find out. I get to be mean. I'm the mommy.

There's a Build-a-Bear five minutes from our house. I'll know to avoid it in the future.

I haven't gotten my utility bill yet, it will be my first, so I don't know what to expect and it's driving me crazy. I'm worried it will be sky high.

Sophia -- does your lease say no heating, it doesn't seem right that they can just change it if you've signed something.

I first read this as 'utility belt'. I blame this board.

So far, I've read that to both Ben and Julia on their sixth birthdays. Someone ping me in April, for Chris.

I spotted one at the mall, but it was a while before my kids were aware of it. I have the impression that it is pricey, but haven't checked it out, because I think it would be like crack.

I haven't signed anything. Basically they don't seem to want me to sign until they are ready for me to move in. It is driving me CRAZY! it i smaking me regret going back on my plan to never rent from a company, only an individual.

DH lived in Columbus, GA for a year, 2 years ago. Whenever I visited him, I hated it with a passion stronger than I've hated any place we've ever lived.

Atlanta, OTOH, was very cool (not in temperature, though). Great restaurants, fun stuff to do, and good shopping. After about 2 visits, DH and I started having my visits in Atlanta only.

Thanks! That's a great poem for her. I'll make sure she sees it.
