Our home life is like a soap opera, it's insane at times.

I wanted to post this last night, but it was getting late and I wanted a clear head to do so. The past few days alone have been enough to write a soap opera with what's gone on around here. As some of you know, my husband and I have roommates. 2 are a gay couple living in the basement with their dog. Our other basement roommate, he used to live with his girlfriend, actually, she used to live here. She moved out, insistent that she would never come back. Well, low and behold, she keeps coming over. She's not welcome here and she knows it, but he still brings her here. I guess he's secretly hoping that she'd move back in. Well, my other roommates are angry. They live here and pay rent, she doesn't. She comes over, does her laundry, cooks and just wastes money by using the utilities that we pay for. We decided the other day to remove all laundry supplies from the laundry room so she couldn't use them and waste them. She gives the guys dirty looks, like they're not supposed to be there and she is. They've posted up signs all over the apartment down there to hopefully send the hint that she's not wanted and that she cannot use the facilities meant for those who pay for them. One of the guys is actually terrified of being down there alone because of the other guy. He can get pretty scary. He's been told several times not to smoke in his room, yet he continues to do so, and now he's smoking pot in his room instead of going outside. It reeks in the basement of that, and no one is amused. We're hoping that he'll take the hint and get out, but he'd be breaking his part of the lease. But at least we wouldn't have to worry about him eating up all the hydro since he already does that. If he were to move out, my other roommate who lives upstairs would move down to his room and pay more rent. We'd use his room for storage and let the guys downstairs have a living room finally. My mother in law came over for the weekend, and she's a real pain in the rear when she's here. Everyone laughs at her behind her back because of what she does. She constantly talks to herself, even when no one's talking to her. Until she's sleeping, she's talking. Well, Sunday, Monday and yesterday morning were crazy with her sleeping on the couch in the living room. According to her, we're not allowed to start our day early in the morning, even if we need to. such as the dog needing to go outside. 3 days in a row, she was woken up, not too early mind you, by us, starting our daily routines. She'd turn over on the couch and mutter under her breath, "f*cking a$$hole" and try to go back to sleep. This is why we don't want her staying over. I went to work for a couple of hours yesterday, and when I got home just after noon, she was still sleeping on the couch!!! Talk about lazy. She refuses to take the hint that the day is half over already and it's time to get up and deal with it. We're hoping to get a cot for her so we can stuff her in the other bedroom when she comes over, so we don't disturb her when we get up in the morning. I don't understand these people sometimes, they just drive me nuts.
