How do they have any say if it's on your property, Sparky?
I don't think they do. They think they do because we asked them to split the cost.
I do think that my DH's email to them telling them the work was happening could have more clear - that we weren't asking their opinion, but he was trying to be overly nice. But their answer was two pages long with demands to see diagrams, etc.
I haven't been trusted to communicate on this matter with them for months. Ever since their contractor friend called me "little lady" and told me he knew what he was doing when I told him the swale he proposed wasn't going to work.
Well the house looks good, but I forgot to clean out the cat boxes. Mac refused to do even one little thing to help this morning and I read him the riot act, but calmly. I hope we get an early offer in this process because maintaining the place for showing is going to be really exhausting.
YAY for everyone finally getting on planes and safely back home.
Good thoughts to Fay and family.
I've missed a million birthdays the past month, so belated good wishes to all.
I am sad I will miss scrappy on tv, someone should tape it for us cable-less people.
oh and I found my new house key with the pink monkey. YAY!
The monday-ness of today for me is that I have no childcare, so I will be taking lunch at 2, to go pick up mac and bring him back to my office with me.
Oh flea, so sorry, that is super frustrating. Please to get yourself a pastry of your choosing.
Glad everyone is arrived (I assume Perkins did) at their destination.
I'm tired this morning, and I don't wanna today.
This may be the worst idea the internet has ever had.
failin.gs seeks to answer that age old question that perhaps all of us have asked ourselves at some point in our lives.
"What is wrong with me?"
Of course, nobody is perfect. We all have our own idiosyncrasies and personality flaws. Think of the people you know. We are sure you can think of theirs. I bet they can identify yours as well.
Create a profile and invite people to leave anonymous constructive criticism about your character. We all want to improve, don't we?
Because as we all know, the main thing wrong with the internet is there's no place to anonymously insult people. It's amazing nobody has stepped up to fill this niche until now!
Oh, Fay, travel safe and health-ma for your dad.
Oh, Fay. Homeward-swiftly-and-safely~ma to you, and all possible stubbornly hanging in and staying put and miracle~ma to your dad. With much additional love to your mom and Wee Sister Jay.
There are no words for how utterly nightmarish failin.gs sounds.
If I wanted a detailed listing of what was wrong with me, I'd spend more time with my family.
Why would I want to subject myself to that when I have a. family and 2. critical voices in my head already.
Besides, most "constructive" crit I get from strangers generally involves my comfort level with profanity anyway.As you can see from current tag, I'm really bothered by that.
Good luck Fay!
I'm glad I'm not Mr. flea.
We had our first weekend of soccer games. Because of make-up games, we had four of them this weekend. Somehow the kids' teams won all four. With two wins Emaryn's team has already surpassed last season's and they really played with a lot of grit. Leif's team played really well like normal and thumped the other two teams even though they didn't have their best player for either game.
They have switched to more playing positions in Emaryn's team instead of rotating around. She's playing defender which she likes even though she's much better at offense. I'm glad she's playing what she enjoys, but I miss watching her score goals. Oh well, it doesn't matter if she's having fun.
The league also changed the setup now so that the parents of the different teams are no longer on the same side of the field. Apparently there were some fist fights last year. Crazy.
