Made it to Monday

Though I'd rather be here

Raining. One of G's favorite books right now is Johnny Lion's Rubber Boots, so he thinks because he owns rubber boots he can go play in the rain. Tough luck kid, you have no raincoat. Also your rubber boots are way too big, unfortunately.

Aww I love it. S is currently taking grandpa for a walk. They both needed an activity. Although I am almost jealous it's beautiful here, but yesterday I think I pushed it a bit so today I am trying to be good.

In awesome random things my phone does. If I say ok Google (kind of like Siri) Lumos!' it turns on my flashlight.

I'm currently waiting to see if V is actually going to nap. He wanted his Binky and was saying night night, but I'm hearing him talking so I'm guessing not.

V's daycare provider is sick today so I'm home instead of work. I guess I'll be going in on Wednesday instead, a day I'd rather stay home. I'm starting to get paranoid a bit about Wednesday, and I much rather be home with DH and V.

I'm home today too, annoyed with this painting project. They are estimating they will be done on Wednesday and there is no way I can be home Wednesday so DH is going to have to take off work which messes up our plans for Thanksgiving week. Even thought we are spending Thanksgiving with my family and Christmas with DH's family this year his parents decided to spend Thanksgiving in nyc so we are supposed to see them that week too.

Just busy at work. Looking forward to dinner tonight. We're trying Trader Joe's Mole chicken in the slow cooker. I'm making canned refried black beans since I forgot to make beans last night. Maybe sliced bell peppers and steamed broccoli as an additional side (so traditional).

I'm going to rant about our painting job too. When the guys we here originally they damaged a perfectly good wall improperly using a ladder. When I said I wanted it fixed, they slathered on spackle way more than the initial dings, did NOT sand, and painted over it. Now I have four huge, very large, very different textured, ugly square patches. It makes me sick thinking it'll never look the same as the beautiful wall it once was. Got the contractor coming to look at it today and see what can be done. I hate complaining but I see it every time I use the stairs (only like a million times a day). It is frustrating when you try to make house improvements and it breaks something else. Ps: don't even get me started on how much touching up on the others walls I've had to do bc apparently they don't bring small paintbrushes for corners and small area...or the right ladders.

Tldr; Do not hire "5 Star Painting".

lilyelayne I'd rather be there too!
aggiebug how's little C doing?
kartish dmorgendorffer, sorry your plans are being messed up!
seamonster dinner sounds great. We'll be over at 5

[lilyelayne]

Wow dreemkin that's awful. I hope everything gets sorted.

[seamonster]

The button on my jeans popped ok. Anyone know a good way to secure it?

[aggiebug]

kartish yeah I am so over this election and sadly I don't think Tues is the end of it.

dmorgendorffer ugh that stinks sorry :/

@dreenkin that is not ok at all these are professionals. Honestly that type of error is just not acceptable they should know how to use a ladder, but their apathy in the repair is just disappointing. Push for an acceptable resolution.

Sharing a story/rant about car carts and candy in the impulse section. I put this in the mommy milk thread as well.

I took DS with me to the grocery store and he stole and started eating a butterfinger while we waited in line at the grocery store. I found out when I was about to take him out of the car cart. Why is candy at toddler height? Why isn't there a sunroof on the car cart? I was annoyed at the lady at customer service who told that there was free fruit available. I know and he ate some before he got ahold of the candy. We paid for the illicit candy and I asked her to throw the rest of it away. She then asked if DS wanted some more. No lady! I'm trying to keep my toddler off candy.

[aggiebug]

dreemkin he is a champ. Just a chill little eating machine.

Uuuuuuggggghhhhhh!!!!!

I hate this kinda stuff. It's basically been the story of my life since we moved. Almost every single thing we had done required them to come back to fix.

[mishka29]

I took the day off. Had my pita for lunch, watched tv and read my book. I did a bit of work around the house but not enough for DH's liking. But I said I had some me time so I couldn't get all the chores done lol.

[dreemkin]

@mishka yes, I feel like I'm overly picky but how can that be? The guy today said he has never received complaints about these painters before...really?? No one has noticed these things but me?? I find that hard to believe.

And "me time" is important! I miss that!

[aggiebug]

Ha seamonster little stinker!

mishka29. Good for you taking time for yourself. House stuff will always be there.
