Weekend here and gone already, was filled with a friend's wedding, and a friends birthday party... along with getting some work done up at the house, where does the time go?
Well for today just a normal Monday, catching up from the weekend and Jer left today for Russia. He will be gone for the whole week and returns late Saturday night. Wishing he was home already. Tonight after I returned from taking Jer to CR it was a interesting night, I ran up to the house since Billy needed pictures of the electrical to pull some wires out that got covered by the wallboard, he was waiting for Dustin to come back with kitchen layout so they could get things pulled thru and change things around a little, this was all good... talked with Dustin about a few things since the "plastering guys" said they would be at our house this week starting today... then it turned into tomorrow... no big deal right? So Dustin had all good intentions of working tonight but now he has ALL week to get things done. Well I called the guy to touch base and to see if he could meet up with Dustin tomorrow about a few things... WOW what a huge load DUMPED on me tonight... he said that it was TOO HOT at the house, the AC was not keeping the house cool enough so they are moving on to their next job...WHATEVER it was cooled off up there tonight... and then he also continued to mention we are now 3 houses down on the list now since we weren't ready ... ARGH!!!! so it could be next week or mid August before they start now... I was PO'd!!!! So I flat out said to him, well we may need to find another option then... and he got all defensive, then he proceeded to tell me what needed to be done before they could come... just nit picking at dumb crap! FRUSTRATED... sorry!!!!!!!!!!!! I was completely steaming MAD!! So then I went back up to the house to give Dustin, the plastering guys cell #... and to point out a few more things that needed to be done, all good with Dustin, just hope he can get it done this week! The big thing that was decided tonight was redoing the existing staircase wall... well Dustin is going to redo it this week and get it done...so I was told, just really hope something gets done this week, I am to the end of my "tail" on this project... I'm going to completely loose it pretty soon :(
So anyhow boys are doing good! Mitchel went to his first Dyersville soccer practice tonight with a carpool so that helped me out a TON! Issac went off to the pool with Jake tonight, he was actually excited about going swimming for once... I was shocked! Blade played outside in the "mud area" by the apartment building... he was so cute dirty! He wouldn't let me take a picture of him so... this is the best I could do, and as I am taking this picture he says "Im a geek"... new word for him? not sure but first time I EVER heard him say that and I died laughing!
All the laundry got done today, I think I have a load or two to pick up at Billy's tomorrow but then I am done for a day ... isn't that how it goes? Its a job that never ends!!!!
Not sure what the week will bring for me... hope it goes smoothy and I can get a lot done here at the apartment like last week and make more decisions on the house... cuz there is a enough of those to do yet! May take the boys to start school shopping this week... only 24 days until school starts... and looks like we wont be in the house by then but hopefully sometime soon after that :)
So until I blog again, I wish you all a good week and stop in to see the house if you are in town!! it likes visitors :)
