If u don't laugh you'll cry

So today while I was attending to my growing pile of laundry, I got an email and found out that my last landlord is ripping me off! I can't believe it! It wasn't the nicest place to begin with but that place looked better when I left than when I moved in. Out of $850 she's only giving me $140 something back. She is charging me for things that were messed up when I moved in and even when I told her about them she never fixed them. When I read all the rediculous charges I was livid! I was so upset I was shaking and wanted to cry. How can I prove my side when I have no pictures or documentation and I live half way across the country. I mean $700 might not be a lot of money to some people but to my family it's almost a whole months rent and it's at least a months worth of groceries and gas. I just can't believe how dishonest and greedy some people are!
I know that I can't let it eat away at me and let the anger control me so, since I'm not rich I am just going to pray and ask God for the strength to let it go.
I have so many other things to be thankful for, I'm too blessed to be stressed!
(I'm trying so hard not to call and let the Italian temper come out of me)

Anyway I think maybe God was trying to teach me that anger doesn't solve problems so he wanted make me laugh...
Because I've been so busy lately and haven't kept up on my Mommy duties like I should be, I realized that the boys were completely out of clean underwear. This was only after they spilled milk on their bed and all over themselves (I keep telling Javier not to let them take those cups out of the kitchen)
So Lorenzo would not go to sleep. He kept crying "I need underwear!" I tried putting a pull up on him and finally he actually let me put a pair of Gabriella's underwear on him just to sleep in. It was the funniest thing I wish I would've taken a picture! So today Gabriella was outside playing with some of the neighborhood kids when Lorenzo looks over the balcony and yells "Gabriella I wear your underwear last night"
It was the funniest thing!
So anyway back to laundry duty!

Oh man, that stinks. I'm sure there has to be some way to fight it. $700 is a lot of money.
