You know you live in the Ghetto if...
- you have a neighbor dog that poops on your door-mat/sidewalk once a week
- you see the neighbor kids throwing rocks at geese instead of bread
- you give the kids bread to throw to the geese but they eat it instead because they're so hungry
- there is a stabbing right outside of your apartment the night you move in
- you feel lucky to have made it 2-1/2 years before your car gets broken into*
- the police are too busy to file a report when your car finally does get broken into
These are just some of the things that keep me looking forward to the day that we can move into a house. Yay! There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
*Yes, our car was broken into this morning and it is very annoying. They didn't take anything except for an i-pod, and Lundon's backpack. Luckily all that was in his backpack were a few textbooks, a blood pressure cuff and an epi pen. I'm sure they won't be using any of those items. We are out $130.00 for a broken window.

I am so sorry! Nate's truck was broken into at our apartment complex when we lived in Utah. It's one of those things that never gets resolved and you are just out of time and money! Glad it was nothing serious.
What a tough girl you are!! I would be scared out of my mind if any of that stuff happened to me or around me...ecspecially the stabbing & robbery! So sorry your car got "hit" thats sucks :(
Good thing for the light at the end of the tunnel :)
I love this post. It made me laugh. Next, I want to see a post from you titled this: "You know you work in the Ghetto if..." We'd have more than enough ideas to blog for that one. Starting with:
1. Your boss charges into your classroom during your 30 minute lunch break and demands that you talk to the two police investigators sitting in her office. She's claiming that a "white woman" called the police about a shooting, and she's sure it's you!
2. Your students ask you what the difference between "Valentimes" Day and Valentines Day.
3. In one work day, you hear the word "Cent" rather than "Cents" multiple times a day.
4. The roof is leaking.
5. The construction workers are smoking in your school.
6. The toilet clogs upon every flush.
...
Should I stop there?
I could also add to your list:
1. There's a search helicopter flying around the complex every weekend without fail.
2. Your neighbor, smoking pot on the porch accuses your husband of peeking in his daughters window at 6 am while getting his bike off the porch...that was funny:)
3. Your hubands 1997 VW golf gets broken into for his oh so sweet "stereo" hahaha
I'll stop here, but we just have to hang in there!
Hmmm interesting, I'm sorry that it had to happen to you! (You know you live close or rather in the ghetto if your house gets broken into as well! oh unlucky!) The price you pay for living in a big city. You are so close to movin' up in the world my friend, so close! Just imagine all that furniture that Lundon is makin' in your new upscale house :)
I am so sorry about your car! I feel your pain, but a window for $130, you found a deal, ours was twice that much. Why can't ghetto people just grow up and find something better to do?
Adrienne! I found your blog through Sylvia's and wanted to say hi. Your little boy is adorable!
Wow, I hated those days when the people around you cannot be trusted at all! Sorry to hear about your broken window, that's no fun at all!
Oh, I needed that laugh! We have a small list of our own already. I can only imagine what will happen in a year. oh, the memories.
Oh wow, how true it is!! The poop is the funniest part. Bob and I were just talking to the Childs tonight about how Ace poops everyone and they never clean it up. So gross.
Your you know you live in the ghetto if.... makes me laugh because I too live in the ghetto. I realized this when a crack head in the parking lot was trying to sell me her furniture in order to pay her dealer who was standing close by.
We can totally relate with that. We have had many adventures that are similar. I'm sorry!
