That is not cool. Have you gotten any updates? After the news came out I got a call from the ombudsmen (oh sorry, I just now got your file) but because it was already late on Friday there was nothing they could do. So no water for the weekend and it's first on the list for Monday. I'm just lucky that we had some money to buy drinking water, and my best friend let me shower at her place and gave us some water to flush the toilet and wash dishes with. We went yesterday and looked at an apartment that we're putting in an application for on Monday. I've been told that we're getting evicted, so I'm not waiting for the notice.

I'm so sorry. Did you get water today? Was your application accepted?

I'm so sorry. Did you get water today? Was your application accepted? Nope! Still no water. The lawyers who are handling the foreclosure are giving us the run around. I'm about ready to kick it up the ladder because they're now infringing on our basic human rights and are in contravention of a UN resolution on access to water. We went this afternoon to the leasing office to put in our application and had to wait for the gentleman to finish up with a woman. When we went in, he told us that the apartment is the last family friendly apartment they have and that the lady who was in before us also was applying for it. There were some things they needed to complete the application (void check, deposit, DHs pay stubs) so we high tailed it out of there and got what we needed and were back in the office within an hour. He needs to run a credit check and confirm our references but he said it's basically just a formality. Before we even came back he had called the other woman and said it was basically taken.

I’m glad he’s not giving it to the other woman. We did hear a bit of the conversation and neither she nor her spouse are working and they have no credit, so he wasn't keen on renting to them anyways. And since we gave them a deposit check they won't take any more applications unless and until we're rejected *fingers crossed we're not*. The apartment is one building over from a grocery store and a 10 minute walk from my best friends house which would be awesome. It's slightly more than we were looking to pay, but it's got a large storage area and my parents said they'd give us some money to store some stuff which would bring it back down to what we're paying right now.

Hey guys, my mom had an idea. If you'd like to help us out with the water situation, please go to www.facebook.com/dawnmoncton (the mayor of our city) and send her a link to our news article.

Why does it feel like DS is either super smiley and laughing, or screaming in my face?

MH for some reason won't talk to F in French. I think he forgets because he's always speaking English with me. So I started putting cartoons on Netflix in French. F seems really interested so hopefully it'll be good enough. I'm going to get a leapfrog and some French books so I can read with him and make sure my pronunciation isn't terrible.

His daycare teacher called it though. My DD got hers at 6 months so it’s not too far off.

I can see Fs top teeth not far from the gums. I figure in the next month he'll probably break his first. In the meantime, I'm trying to pack to move with a fussy crying baby

There is a huge local consignment sale this weekend. I am so hopeful that I can find a zippadeezip, but in the several years that I've been going, I've never seen one.

Yeah I feel like they are hard to come by. I don’t think I ever saw any at the various sales I went to over the years with DD1. But she said she saw 2 for $15 together, even though one isn’t in great shape. I was like, don’t care, get it!

If you didn't notice, it must mean he's not too symptomatic, right? oh it’s been rough around here for a couple of weeks. His DC teacher mentioned it and I laughed it off. The last few days I had thought maybe his gums looked swollen but I wasn’t really sure and convinced it was just too early. So looking back at other things it seems kind of obvious but babies are confusing. Again, lol me.

With how different my two kids are, I might as well be a brand new mom again, so I hear you.
