frustrating week.

These past few days have been emotional, overwhelming, stressful, and just downright horrid. We have this guy that's been staying with us, and he has caused SO much trouble in the house. He's messy and smelly and selfish (in a nutshell). OK, so the room he's using is supposed to be the nursery right now; and his dang turtle is making the entire downstairs smell like...well, poop. I know, gross right? He eats all the food in the house, uses our internet for free, our Netflix for free, our washer and dryer for free, AND he isn't paying rent. But he is still making BAH (so he gets what, around $3000 a month? That's enough to help out with SOMETHING around here). And did I mention he's messy? I mean I can leave for work in the morning with a spotless kitchen, and be home by 2 (before he's off work) and have a sink FULL of dishes. I mean full, overflowing onto the counter, with caked-on stains (did I mention he doesn't even rinse anything? Or put them in the dishwasher that is located right next to the sink?). Oh, and that's IF he decides to even put them in the kitchen. He's left three-day-old eggs in his room before even bringing them upstairs.

And then today I was sitting on the floor with my husband, and he has a coat and a couple shoes on the floor. Which bugs me, but its not that big of a deal. So I kind of push them aside so I can stretch out a little bit more, and guess what I find? An old Popsicle wrapper with melted Popsicle and chewed gum. CHEWED GUM! Who leaves chewed gum on the living room floor?!

And yesterday he did laundry without even asking, when I was in the middle of doing mine. He couldn't say, "hey I need the washer", or "hey, let me know when you're done so I can use it next". Ugh! He leaves his razor out, his toothbrush out, his shaving cream and deodorant out; all upstairs in our guest bathroom. And when he shaves he leaves all his little facial-hair all over the counter! Its discusting. I never ever thought I would find someone messier than my husband (or my dad) but I was so incredibly wrong.

Matthew told him that he needs to be out this weekend. I am really crossing my fingers that he leaves, SOON. He promised to be out last weekend, but got "too lazy". :/ Awesome. So when do I get to start nesting and setting up the nursery? Which, by the way, I have stuff for that is being stored in our living room and garage because the room isn't even available.

On another note Matthew and I are hoping to get out of town this weekend, if he can get out of some volunteer work he was assigned. Crossing my fingers and praying that he can get out of it; I FINALLY have a weekend off. I haven't had one off in probably three or four months. We just really need a break from this place, from this guy, and from work. A little mini-vacation is exactly what the doctor ordered. So lets all just pray that God pulls through and gives us some time to ourselves.

Oh! Also, we got our puppy a doggy door and haven't cleaned up messes in a week! Its been so nice to just wake up and go about the day without pinching my nose or wiping up a dog's piddle. Oh, so nice.

Ok, so I'm off to finish my Coconut-Carrot cookies. I'm taking them in to work tomorrow in hopes of brightening up what will probably be a very hectic day. Free pastries at starbucks with purchase of drink: if you have a coupon. I just know how rude people get and how quickly they want stuff done. Ugh. Oh well, I've got a great team helping me out, and the cookies should brighten it up some!
