Awwwww... yea team Muse. So anyway, I LOVE the beauty of my community but It also is a bedroom community filled with married families and no single community what so ever as well as is the burbs and isolated. ( Very healthy for small children 7 years ago. ) So next year my daughter will be in college in the OC. Yea team Muse Right! So anyway, I will be moving to a city called Brea in 12 months from now. Both my businesses are there and really everything I do right down to my gym so it makes sense.

I have ( so I thought) 1 more year here which is bitter sweet. None the less, the shrew that I lease from sent me over the top today. I have been a perfect and spotless tenant that has done nothing but bring this place up and has been here for 7 years and never a day late with her $1900.00..... She has been horrid and difficult the entire time.

She cemented the entire joint in prior to my being here and the city has ordinances that prevent that... As well, who planted a palm tree that is meant for the wild and surpasses the houses by a few hundred feet with around 100 feet of dead Frans. The neighbors complain to me about these things and I empathise but little I can do. I have complained it is a fire hazard and very not acceptable but being the shrew she is she refuses to contend with it. So, finally.... someone turns her into the city and they not only come at her to correct the monster but also she is forced to dig out all concrete. ( She brought it on herself to the tune of well over 10,000) The only thing the city was satisfied with was the vegetation I have placed to bring some life to the joint. So this morning I water ( note the hose) pull a few weeds and head in for morning coffee.... I finish for work and go outside to see how it all looks after a good water..... that damn shrew had driven by and pulled out most the plants in the bed. Just fucking pulled them out and tossed them in my trash cans.... I call the leasing agent on the spot in a rage. They deny ANYONE has been out here as she has not authorized such a manuver. It is also illegal for her to step foot on the land without 24 hour notice.... ( I have a licence in the field and know my rights) So I say fine you are telling me I should call the police and make a report as this place has been VANDELIZED! I suggest she check with the shrew first and I give her 1 hour. She places several phone calls and calls me in a panic for time as she damn well knows the shrew went over their heads.

Bottom line, I give up.. clearly she feels I reported her. I am not damn dumb enough to light a fire under my own ass and what she has done was both uncalled for and illegal. Her next step will be to take it out on me and as this isn't a rent controlled area I am toast. The leasing agents have warned her she over stepped but she doesn't care...

Bottom line: Brea is a wonderful city in Orange County where I do all nature of things and my daughter will go to college in Fullerton anyway. However her Sr. year is at hand so she must complete here and little man will be quite shook to be uprooted at this time. This will also present all nature of troubles with the joint custody arrangements. I share even custody with their father. I also have a 2 story 4 bedroom home to contend with...

I do see where this is all going... I suspect this will all be healthy for me but I pray it is so also for my son....

I just needed to vent.... I have spent the last 7 years doing what is best for the children and as they near grown I don't want to shake their worlds. I am very terrified..... ok thanks for listening...

You know what this is about... your good.

If the fight gets hectic enough, consider taking your story to your local investigative news team. TV crews always are looking for a good ol' David & Goliath story (you would be David, but you knew that already).

Of course, that might be a bit surreal for your kids. So, tuck it in the back of your mind for now.

In the meantime, hang in there.

The important thing is that you communicate with your children, and I know you do. I'm positive that they know how much you love them. They have so much support that I believe the transition will not be as difficult as you may think.

I'm not a parent so what I may be saying may mean nothing. I just think you're such a great mom!!

xxoo

Yeah ... yeah.. I have had my feet planted to firm for too long... I expected him to close a few doors here n there but certainly not all of them and not at once... Who knew trust and faith were painful in process....

Goes back to watch what you pray for...

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

Yes, I prayed for a renewed hustle, in the months that preceded utter chaos last year. But, He's faithful to carry you through it.

Calligraphy said:

Yeah, yeah, yeah... now you know I know you are right!



































.. Doesnt mean I aint gonna sulk about it for a bit... Im tired!

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

I know that's right... I thought I'd be in bed two hours ago. I'm steady writin' ... so, this is what the hustle's about...

Those are 2 of the cutest kids! much luck to you, hey! California is not that bad.. I'm a California girl myself.

what a bitch

Muse it doesn't feel like it now but it will get better. things always have a way of working themselves out and i especially agree with everything calligraphy said.

PaisleyPark5083 said:

thanks!

heybaby said:

Thanks Lady... Miss seeing you around too!

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

awww same here

how long have they been off school?

ZombieKitten said:

Myself? Last month i completed economics and am finished.... Although the market here as plummeted... I knew this going in and will be ready for the next cycle!

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

I mean the kids and their summer holidays are they just going back for a new year now? (you know our school years are completely different down here right? Feb-Dec so they have their summer break over christmas )

ZombieKitten said:

Awwwww right...well summer being opposite here, it seems we follow the same rule... So summer is from June until now.. do the kids are going back... You are about to warm up where as we are to cool down... Although, California missed winter altogether... I hope we get one this year.. I have had the top off my car for a solid year.. sounds lovely but i assure you it has gotten old!

Today was there first day back...

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

so like a whole 3 months! ours only get 6 weeks (thank god )

ZombieKitten said:

If I had 3 boys so close in age id be screaming hooorahhh too!

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

ZombieKitten said:

These days are over soon....

Don't you HATE that feeling of not being completely in control, especially when it comes to your kids? ...And the unfairness of it all would truly aggravate me to no end ...She can come over and literally vandalize my stuff and I'm limited to what I can do in return because I care about my kids' emotional and educational well being??

Personally, I'd be thiiiiis close to filing a police report anyway...lol...

Do you have a lease?...I would think that would help mitigate the issue of a rent increase, if so...Good luck no matter what you choose to do, though ...and I've no doubt your kids will be fine as well, no matter what.

Byron said:

Precisely. The lease went month to month years ago... clever on their part.. As it were, she still can only raise it reasonably but the shrew lacks reason or good sense... so I will take it one day at a time but research my options too...

oh wow!

i hope everything gets squared away and you dont gotta deal with this madness.

she can't pull that stuff and get away with it, it's against the law. take her to conciliation court.

then again, maybe you can use her transgressions as leverage against her in the future lease negotations

Sorry you're having a rough time of things too, lady.

It's to your advantage that you know the laws. The problem is that you didn't see her do it. Change is good darlink! The kids are old enough so that it won't disrupt their lives too much. I've heard that Brea is a good place to be.

Let me know when you have your own brokerage, and I'll come down and sell some of that OC real estate with ya!


Screw that shrew. Do not waste mental energy on her if you don't have to.
