I moved a bunch of furniture back after the floors were finished last night but I still need to empty more boxes. It's going to eat at me until I get it done so I need to knock it out tonight. I have told MH that a pile of boxes and stuff is for donation about...oh, I'd say 7 times. Last night he brought one small box of things to Goodwill and I asked him why he didn't tell me he was going or I would have gotten the rest of the stuff. He acts like he has no clue what I'm talking about and I point it out to him and it's like he never heard me mention it before.

Damn xolastunicornxo you win, that is insane. I'm laughing, cringing and sending you virtual bottles of wine. You've definitely earned a spa day or something when your H gets home!

I am at work waiting for a furniture delivery. I am hoping that they come soon because I want to get this over with and leave around lunch to go do more furniture shopping. I am finally making progress on my work to do list and with only a month left in the fiscal year, its crunch time. I can't wait for the weekend. Hopefully we will get out early tomorrow. I just got approval for 2 new trucks with year end money to replace some old crappy trucks in my fleet!! I am normally on the year end purchasing team...this year I am not and am sooooo thankful!

I am watching my neighbors siding get taken and was legit disappointed when I saw they are putting the same color back up. Her house has green siding, black trim/garage doors and purple doors. I am way too invested in this, because I was watching them unbox the new siding like it was a gender reveal or something.
Have you guys heard of these companies that go around neighborhoods after a storm giving out quotes for repair work? Apparently, there was a hail storm in our area and they are going door to door offering free appraisels. They assess the damage, manage the claim with insurance and then do all the work. My neighbors have all been getting new siding and roofs for the cost of their deductible. They are coming to give us an appraisal next week.

Omg xolastunicornxo what an awful evening! But you conquered it! You rock! S woke up at approximately 3:53 am ready to start her day 🙄. On the 4 mile drive to school she fell asleep. She then threw a huge fit when I woke her up and handed her off to her aide because she did not want to get out of the car seat. Girlfriend just wanted to sleep. I’m now waiting on a guy to come pick up his new puppy. I’m super sad seeing the pups leave. I just want to snuggle them all day everyday. Lol.

My BIL's brother owns a roofing company and they do this every time a tornado or big storm goes through. Smart on their part!

They do this in FL after hurricanes...we call them storm-chasers. Just be careful b/c I have heard of people's insurance rates going through the roof, or even being dropped from coverage at the end of the policy term.

lfig I can imagine it would be tough to give your sweet puppies after being with them from day one. They are your babies too! Aren't you keeping one though?

dapostrophe, almost every house in our neighborhood got new roofs after a hail storm last year. MH is an insurance agent tho so he wouldn’t let any of the “chasers” on our roof. One company around here got busted for basically creating hail damage with a hammer or something on roofs and it getting approved by insurance. Another neighborhood got most of the siding replaced too, darn it! 😉

Thanks guys. It was such a disaster that I think I can laugh now. I just kept thinking “how as this my life?” As I was elbow deep in poop and surrounded by screaming kids. Good things I love those little monsters.
Dh gets back tomorrow night and I’ve already told him I am going to be alternating between drinking and sleeping all weekend.

Morning all.
Working on a couple projects today, and trying to wrap my head around that it's almost September. Honestly, where does the time go?

OMFG y'all. MH took M to the dentist. I saw a black spot on her back molar and a spot in between that back molar and next tooth looked funny. I told him to have it checked. Well, not only does she need a crown on that tooth, but the crown we did a couple months ago is infected and the tooth needs to be pulled. They'll have to put a spacer in.
I'm so fucking pissed right now.
He's going to mail us a copy of the images and a treatment plan. Once I get it I'm going to see if my dentist would do it since it would be cheaper. But I know he doesn't like to work on kids. FML.

Just be careful b/c I have heard of people's insurance rates going through the roof, or even being dropped from coverage at the end of the policy term. I'm glad you said this...I was wondering how this worked. It sounded a little good to be true, but like I said I've seen 5 or 6 houses in the neighborhood getting worked on. I'll have to do a little digging before we move ahead. tgrimes any tips on what to look out for? ETA: slenle does your H not recommend it?

The fact that the crown is infected makes me kind of squirrelly, but I have no experience with crowns so maybe that's somewhat common. Is there anything the dentist suggests y'all can do differently on her teeth? Do y'all have fluorinated water? Could they do some other sort of treatment? Or is this just bad teeth/bad luck?

tgrimes, has she complained about mouth pain at all? I would assume an infected crown would be pretty painful

I'll have to do a little digging before we move ahead. tgrimes any tips on what to look out for? ETA: @slene does your H not recommend it? Someone came to our house after the last big hurricane and told me he could see from the ground that our roof was old and was damaged. I was like, "oh really, because it's less than a year old." Obviously if there is legitimate damage that is a different story, but generally I look at a roof or similar as something that is my responsibility as a homeowner to replace when it's worn out, just like I have to do maintenance on my car. It was very popular in our last neighborhood to do, b/c the homes were all 20ish years old and needing new roofs anyway. I think some people looked at as, "well, if I get dropped, at least I got a new roof", but at least in FL it can be really tough to get insurance coverage. A lot of insurers down there cap their books b/c of the heavy risk, so it's a dicey proposition to risk losing your coverage. And of course the more people take advantage of these things, the more everyone's rates go up as a result. Sorry, I guess I have a lot of thoughts on this! eta: This may all be a UO, appropriately on Thursday. eta2: If you think you DO have legitimate damage, I would find your own roofer(s) to come out, take stock and give you a quote, and then you can talk to your insurer. I guess I'm skeptical of the ones that come around drumming up business--I feel like the good ones don't need to do that so much.

Morning! 1) joelies I teared up reading your post. I'm sure C will do great! 2) tgrimes that stinks, and poor M to have to go through all that dental work. 3) xolastunicornxo, yikes, definitely one of those days that stinks (literally) in the moment, but makes a good story later

tgrimes That's awful! Clearly the crown wasn't completed properly if it was able to get infected. Raise hell lady, this is not something that you should be paying for.
