*sigh*

Dh said it best... I'm getting close to bottoming out on the roller coaster. I'm not a happy camper right now. I spent the day with dd again. Picked her up at preschool, went to the gym for an hour where she got to play outside and in the maze, then we went to the "gymnastic school" to check it out, then we ate out at BK (gak) so she could play in their maze and then went to the library. Got home just a minute before dh.
Got in the house and discovered that the contractor didn't show up AGAIN. I'm losing my patience. Dh called him at 3:00 to find out why he's blowing us off (we paid him already...that's why) and he hasn't returned his call yet. I stuck sticky notes all over the place in the room where they split the trim and glued it back together with caulk. I can't stain over that shit. The contractor told me just to paint over it but I'll be damned if I'm going to paint over stain grade trim that we paid for just because they suck at finish carpentry.
Mom and Dad visited Sunday and Monday. Dh and Dad put in the french doors. I need to lay down underlayment and then tile before he can finish the threshold though. I can't lay tile until the carpenter fixes the trim and the grunt finishes the spackling....so they don't walk on my floor while the mastic and/or grout is setting. There will definitely be some $ coming off what we owe them since we didn't get a professional to do the spackling. According to the contractor the grunt gets $10/hr but we are supposedly paying for a pro who would be making much more.
Man, I hate dealing with these people.
Looks like we may be going to Mom & Dad's place this weekend since dh has a highschool reunion thing going on next weekend. I don't want to really because I don't want to have to deal with my brother and his wife. But I need to take Dad's sliding glass doors down and then pick up Chigliak, the twin bed, a dresser and my aquarium stuff so I can set up the 20 gallon tank for dd's ever changing goldfish. That's going to go in the new room too, if it ever gets finished. Shall I hold my breath?
