No, it's not wrong at all! Who's saying it is? We'll skin 'em alive!! :angry: Oh Marilyn, you have no idea how many times I've prayed that you'll get exactly what you wish for some day. And no one is perfect...NO ONE. Maybe you're just having a bad day. That's okay. We're here for you!

Good morning!

Yes looks like it might be a bit cooler here today too Carla (hope so!)

It's raining right now, which seems to be pretty unusual - usually rains in the afternoon - but then again I haven't been here long enough to know what is 'usual' with weather :lol:

So we went to look at a house to rent yesterday evening - this house is as cute as a button - all refurbished and built in the 20's.

We decided to not meet the realtor leasing it right away but instead we would drive through the neighbourhood in the evening (around 7) as, of course, people are generally home from work etc - so you can get a better idea of who is doing what in the hood.

Well, next door to the house is an (obviously) cheap duplex rental, one can tell as it is a bit run down. On the other side is a house that looks fairly normal. We knew there was a building across the street - as in business - because we saw it on google street view. Turns out it is a mental health center - including an emergency mental health center (I have no prob living across the street from it, as long as there isn't going to be great activity with people arriving in the middle of the night etc). In fact it's nice that there are no residences across the street.

Anyway, I would rent it in a minute, except I think we both felt a bit uncomfortable there. That's the problem with not knowing your area, we have no idea what type of neighbourhood we are heading in to before we go there.

I meant to comment on your posting earlier trailmix, sorry! I think the house is very cute! And what a fantastic idea about going around the neighbourhood in the evening. It certainly can give you a different flavour than during the day when maybe a lot of people are working.

I worked for years with a lot of people with mental illnesses. I know of a few centres that were in residential areas in Saskatoon. There was never any problems with residents hanging around. Usually the people that run those places don't want to have any problems for neighbours so that they can stay in that neighbourhood. You might want to go over there and talk to them. Or better yet, talk to the people that are potential neighbours. If you're not used to this type of "clientele". then yes, you're going to maybe feel uncomfortable about being there. I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water, not without talking to others in the area.

You mentioned a realtor. This is just for renting right? You might want to call a realtor up...not linked to a specific property and tell them...I want this, and this, and this, in this price range. What area do you suggest, and when can I see the places. :lol:

Aren't I just FULL of suggestions today? :lol:

Marilyn, this is me too. I wash the clothes and cook yummy dinners and sometimes feel guilty that the house doesn't look like it comes from House and Garden. It is comfortable but lived in and yeah, I should vacuum more often but I HATE vacuuming and I HATE our vaccum cleaner - you need to be Mr. T to be able to wrestle it around and it doesn't get into corners and everything. I literally have to have a shower after vaccuming because it is such a work-out! The yard is full of weeds and while I wish it looked more trim and neat I keep saying it looks like a 'loved' and 'lived in' yard and is a haven for wildlife and birds in the area. My life is so filled with shoulds sometimes and I realize that this is the pressure I am putting on me only because I think others are judging me for it. The ridiculous thing of it all? I didn't feel nearly as overpowered by the 'shoulds' when I wasn't married - and Joe isn't the one 'should'ing me - it's me. I suck in the cleaning department too - I just hate it! And I don't know where all the hours in the day go because it seems like I am constantly picking up and cleaning instead of doing things for me.

I think part of my hate is the need to rebel from my childhood and my mom's obsession with cleaning :lol::P.... I had to help her clean the whole house every week..

she has backed down on the obsession a little now though, she only cleans half of the house one week and half the other week.. although I think part of that is that she realizes how much work it is without me there to help her :P

I do wish some of that obsession had rubbed off on me though :P

See, I work, and I try to keep the house looking perfect too ( haha I was about to write purrfect)

The problem is every tuesday when I'm off I try to clean, and it looks good for a few days, but then the 3 boys come home for the week-end and with the 2 cats, I have to clean/vaccum/dust everything all over again.

So then 1 week I am tired and do nothing and it still looks like #######. And then I feel like I'm being a bad wife, even though I work 42 hours/week on top of it...

And my lovely hubby keeps telling me its OK if the house doesnt look perfect!
