Another day of work. Ugh. The first email I got was someone asking for a part and they NEED it on Monday. Dude this isn't Amazon, it takes a lot longer than a week to order and get parts.

kayladawn91, we have 3 spare bedrooms and they all have beds in them. It's nice for NYE or if we have a party and people want to stay the night. Eventually one will become a nursery. They all have crap stored in the closets though so we need to clean that out. If I was more crafty, I would turn one into a craft room.

I'm blind as a bat and I almost am at the max prescription for ordering glasses online. What do I do when I got over that?!?! Ah!!!

What kind were you using? I used to use the Target brand solution before I got Lasik.

So jealous about the spare rooms you guys have! We're stuffed into a 1BR over here, but are saving up for when we move out of Boston so we can expand appropriately. I'm thinking pet dogs, goats, donkeys...SO is thinking garden and orchard. I hope goats and gardens will be able to coexist

I just got the entire project to use my template for calcs instead of the shitty old one with 4 different fonts and no styles set up. Excuse me while I do my happy dance!

Good luck today @ismellbooks!

I'm just hanging out at home again today. I'm hoping to get some stuff done in our spare bedrooms. They were basically just storing a ton of furniture and we sold it at our garage sale on Saturday and then donated the rest. Now those rooms need some serious organization. One is supposed to be an office and the other is just holding tubs of teaching supplies. We have a basement for storage so I'm hoping I can get the second room to be useful now that all the junk is out of there! I was thinking of a guest room but I don't think we would use it since we live within a couple of hours of all our family/friends. Do you have spare bedrooms? What do you use them for?

ETA: typing mobile is hard

We have two spare bedrooms. One of them is basically a litter box room that also has my treadmill and then the second is basically a spare room that MH uses when he works. I think it's nice to have a guest room just in case. All our family is pretty close too but it's nice for there to be an extra bed. Whenever we get sick we sleep in separate beds so it's nice to have. Also I am so jealous of your basement!!

I wonder if the new people need to be told that they can start the WTO/TWW threads? Have we had a newbie playdate (Flame free questions) lately?

We haven't recently. But we do have a lot of new people. And I've noticed the WTO/TWW start later and later every day.

Hi all!! Hope everyone had a good weekend + Monday.

Jumping in to the spare room discussion. We have a 4bdrm. Each of MH step sons have their own room for when they stay but we've decorated them so that they aren't too "kiddy" and they get used as guest bedrooms when needed. DH stores hunting stuff in one closet (except weapons duh) and the other room has some of my craft stuff. The 3rd bedroom I use as an office. I don't think you necessarily need to clear out the closets to use it as a guest bed if you have an empty dresser in there since most guests don't stay long enough to require both a dresser and a closet ?

I am in negotiation hell right now.

We had inspections on the new house and it was brought to our attention that the roof was installed incorrectly and there are two layers on it. Layer one is 25 years old and layer 2 is 10 years old. We had a roofer come look at it as well, made the same conclusion, and gave us an estimate for a new roof.

Seller says the roof is fine. He's a contractor so he disagrees with the assessments of two inspectors! You are the idiot who had the roof installed incorrectly in the first place, so excuse me if I'm not buying it.

Idiot. He is being such a jerk. I am pissed because we have made so many concessions for them. We are literally going to end up homeless because our house is already sold and they are dragging their feet on everything because they have lives to live, like we don't.

I had something similar with my eyes a few years ago that lasted a few months, I understand how frustrating it is! With my eyes, the way my eye doctor explained it to me was that my contacts (which were monthly contacts, that I took out each night) were not allowing enough air to my eyes and they were getting agitated. This was causing very tiny abrasions on the eyes, which is why they were red and sore, and the light really really bothered them. We tried a few different drops but nothing was working, so he suggested a change to daily contacts as those are thinner and allow more air to the eye. That made all the difference in the world for me! My eyes cleared up really quickly and the pain and redness went away. Daily contacts are more expensive, so that's why he waited so long to switch me to those, but it was worth it to me because I was tired of not being able to wear my contacts! Maybe your eye doctor would let you try a sample of daily contacts to see how they work for your eyes? A few of my friends have had to switch to daily as well and for all of them it helped immensely.

Ugh I am sorry to hear this. I remember you talking about this being the perfect house so I hope it doesn't fall through. They really either need to fix it or sell it for less to allow you that extra money to fix it. Hopefully it ends up working out for you and they fix it, especially with two opinions!

That's a good suggestion! It's definitely the contacts or the solution that is the culprit. Because my eyes get all better after a few days of wearing my glasses. I'm just tired of glasses. I don't think I look good in them and I can't wear my sunnies!!

So frustrating.  DH is up for a promotion and wants to move if he gets it.  I started thinking about going through that again the other day and just thinking about it stressed me out!  I hope you guys can come to a satisfactory agreement.

Isn't it fairly common to have two layers of shingles?

It is common, but more and more they are not doing two layers of shingles.

Especially when you are dealing with insurance... they replaced the roof ~10 years ago when there was a wind storm. I know this because I grew up not even 10 minutes from this house. I remember the wind storm and the damage it caused. He has already claimed that they got insurance money to replace the roof... but it is obvious that they replaced themselves because they did a horrible job.

There are all kinds of nail pops, shingles coming up, the metal valleys are crowded which makes water run off incorrectly. Instead of replacing vents they slid new ones over top of old ones and didn't install them under the shingle like they were supposed to. So many things that are going to lead to problems because (I'm assuming) he did the work himself so he could pocket most of the insurance check. I fear stuff isn't up to code and could potentially cause a problem for us in the future.

shemarie82 hope you feel better, migraines are the worst!

I am just not happy today. The move went fine except somehow our W/D has vanished. It's not actually ours, it belongs to the complex, but they can't seem to locate it and keep saying they will install it soon. It feels really weird, the apartment, we moved without our stuff, because we will only be here for 6 months, it's weird to walk into your home and not recognize any of the furniture or anything. Most of it I like, so I am sure I will get used to it. I am just feeling a little sad and overwhelmed from the move, some work craziness, and this really awful situation with my friend's from HS and then also TTC, which isn't so much stressful at least not yet, but it does consume all of my spare thoughts. I just want to drop something, but can't really find anything to drop. Anyway, sorry for the vent, but it actually feels really good to just say.

[mugster]

Today is my write all the emails I've been avoiding day. Ugh. It is the worst. Actually, it would be worse if I had to make all the phone calls I've been avoiding.

[nuggetrn]

((hugs)) jewel441, I can't imagine how difficult it is to be dealing with all of those things at once, let alone individually. I hope they find your W/D soon and you are able to feel a little more at home. I am glad venting a bit helped

Hugs, nuggetrn. Hope you can find a solution soon!

I am super grumpy this morning. Mad at MH even though what I'm mad about isn't his fault (long story short he works in hospitality so getting time off for things, like say my HSG on Thursday, can be difficult. He was making arrangements since he knows this is important, but one of the immediate coworkers MH was counting on to help cover him broke their ankle yesterday, so now MH might not be able to come). I'm getting my time confirmation today so I could be mad at nothing if the HSG is first thing in the morning, but this sort of thing happens with his job all. the. time (not people breaking ankles, but pop up events, events running late, staff not showing up, etc). It's just frustrating and it's making me stormy today.
