We finally got moved into our house. I am still having mixed emotions on the place. I can't believe that I got rid of almost half of our belongings before we moved here,.. and my stuff still doesn't fit! When we went to the housing office, they warned us that the bedrooms were small....we weren't too concerned because we don't spend that much time in our rooms. But the bedrooms are plenty big.. it's the most important rooms that are too small. My kitchen won't even hold food and dishes. The cabinets are weird sizes and there are only 4 of them. I do have more counter space and I guess that is why I thought everything would fit. Then we have the living/ dining area. They are one room and it is about the size of my bedroom. We are now looking for a sectional couch that we can manipulate into the space. We love our couch but we can't all fit on it, and there isn't enough room to add a recliner or love seat. Not if we want to be able to pull out the dining chairs and sit at the table to eat.
We are positive that we are sharing the housing area with Army. Fort Richards is connected to our base and shares our BX, Commissary, and hospital. Which is just fine, but I truly think they are all the rude people we have dealt with. Our oh so lovely neighbor is one of them. The day we were moving in, he let us feel so welcome. And anyone who has lived on a base knows what it is like when the movers are here. It is a big truck, and they can't help but block someones way. That is just the way it is... we live on a court and share driveways. That's life! but our lovely neighbor comes walking over rather quickly, drops the F'bomb and yelling about how dare we block his way. He was in the movers faces and yelling at me, in which I just sat there stunned....what was I supposed to do about where the moves parked the truck?! How did he move in and not inconvenience anyone else? ARGH!
But now comes the kicker about the house.... I can't get rid of the smell of cat urine/litter box!!I have steam cleaned and scrubbed and tried everything we can think of. The housing office says they never noticed it but did treat the one area they knew of that had urine....anyone have any suggestions?!!

Man, that sucks. Why are can people be so stupid??? Don't they realize that if you are just moving in you are going to be there awhile. Why start out on the wrong foot?? Why ruin their chances of meeting someone really neat?? That guy messed up big time. I would kill to be your neighbor. Welcome to ghetto living :).
Ghetto life... thtas how it feels! I woukd kill to have you as my neighbor too!!! There is so much to do here.. and so far no friend to do it with :o( hopefully when I start work tomorrow things will start to look up!
Work? You are efficient! Where are you working and when did you find time to find a job already?
I got a job at the new Target that is opening. I could of taken a job at the kids' school... but just needed a change. I want to start school in the spring and I am afraid that if I am working at the school I will be too burnt out.
