Yea MIM breathing in mold can do all sorts of bad stuff to you and your kids! remedy that shite asap! I bet your husband is so pissed at being away and not able to help out much. i have been in similar situations and it is maddening…
but on a lighter note, MAN do you look hot in those pics! looks like you guys had a blast out there!
I hope you guys (and your neighbors) can get all of this mold nonsense worked out soon!
ya, this place feels more like a health hazard than a home…
Hubby knows I turn into Mama Bear mode when he is away and will do anything to protect our cubs.
I suppose thats why he’s pushing me to make the move and not wait.
It’s his way of trying to help. He’s always been the protector and takes charge while he’s here… but he’s also the mover/unloader guy, while I’m the pack shit up and put it away girl. I’ve never had to do a move entirely on my own!
I’m still trying to figure out HOW there is mold in the air system if it is aluminum up there. All I did was tape the petri dish to my sons air vent and let it sit for ten minutes while the air was blasting. A couple days later, stuff started growing.
I know someone who used to work for housing but quit because of all the drama and lies she was forced to tell people…great. She said she would help me through the hoops if need be.
Sorry to hear about your mould problem - that really sucks. Do you know if the filter for the air system has been changed recently? That might be part of the reason you’re getting spores up there. Or that the filter is not fine enough to trap spores. I think you’d need a HEPA filter to trap spores rather than a standard air filter.
Mould wreaks havok on my asthma and allergies - nasty stuff…
MiM, you seriously need to get out of that house! I bet it is making you and your kids sick! That mold sample is disgusting! You should take it to the housing authority or something.
I, too, am allergic to penicillin. I’ve only met one other person (IH) who is allergic.
I am not happy in this house and I’m not happy with the school my son goes to. If you move just across to the other side of the base its a different school that he went to before and it was WAAAAY better. Would you want your kid in a decent school or a really good school? It’s not just the potential mold. Its the school, its the plumbing, the dishwasher, the heating/cooling, the bugs, the random shit falling apart…
If you aren’t happy where you are would you do all you can to get somewhere else or just suck it up and make the best of it?
We’d be staying put if it weren’t for the little fact that they built brand new housing. Which we were ORIGINALLY supposed to move into but got tired of waiting and living in the same kind of dumpy, old house. So they gave everyone the option and we chose to move and get it over with rather than wait.
I wish we would have waited…just about 4-5 months after we moved here, they started moving people in, even though the construction wasn’t finished, and there wasn’t anywhere for the kids to play outside. Now it’s completely done, playgrounds and all, and we want in!! We have about 3 years left of living here in MD before we jump states again.
Oh! I popped my gym cherry today! Two weeks to the day.
It felt good to get back in there and even better that I didn’t seem to lose much strength.
My waist is smaller which makes my butt look bigger(poidh??)…I could feel people staring. Or maybe my 10lb loss is visible enough to tell but it’s awkward to tell someone that they lost weight.
Anyhoo

My Free meal!!
I’m trying something new the next two weeks and just having one big free meal towards the evening instead of an all out refeed through the day.
I was finding it hard to get the proper amount of carbs through the day…call me crazy. I’m a big proponent on eating when hungry and stopping when I feel comfy(not stuffed) My refeeds felt forced. And not well controlled. Either going under or over carbs…
I’d rather have one big meal of all the things I’ve been wanting through the week.
