Cause Monday's just a b*tch, Tuesday's such a bother Wednesday's like watching dead flowers grow Thursday ain't for sh*t, Friday's getting hotter But on Saturday night you know We let it rock and keep the drinks pouring, Let it roll until the early morning We're underpaid, but we still give thanks and praise God bless Saturday.
I've never heard this Kid Rock song, but its pretty accurate.

I found out Thursday that the place we went to last weekend for the stone for the new house, didn't ask us about everything that comes from them. So we are going back this morning to take care of everything. I wouldn't care, but its already a busy day and 40 minutes from our house.
We have a graduation party at 2 then to my brothers later for dinner and to see my nephew.
Lots of beer on the agenda today.

I was an idiot and signed up for a 6th day at work. I’m retraining the “office coordinator” guy since we are hiring a second. The new one shouldn’t know and do more then the primary 🙄. He thinks we are reviewing what I’m training.
I have a 7 page paper to write due tomorrow. I’ve only done 2 pages. So I got to kick it into gear.

The dog woke me up at 5:45 and then H came in at 6:10. Don't worry though because MH slept until 8:30...
I think we'll do a game day with the kids because the weather is supposed to be pretty crappy.

Good morning. We had a great first night at the bachelorette weekend after it took me almost 4 hours to drive what should have been 2.5 hours. Everyone is getting along great. We found an outdoor restaurant with a live band for dinner and then we played games at the condo. The limo is coming at 11 and we are going to 3 vineyards for tasting then dinner later tonight. I’m a bit hung over but looking forward to the day.

I'm in the pedicure chair with my mil and sil. My bils wedding is next week. Can not wait for this to be over. They are so disorganized and overwhelmed. We've all tried to help but they won't delegate and it's driving me nuts.

It's raining. That is all. No plans. I'm sure I'll be forced to play dolls at some point.

I'm so annoyed. We got an email from our agent regarding the changes we requested for the new house. The builder is asking for another 20k down.
We can't put anything else down. Nothing. Im going to have to get into savings the 1st of the month already.
I wish we could back out of this. But since I'm sure we can't, we will end up getting basic, builder grade, and less finished space than we have now.
I'm fucking furious.

Hey. I’ve been outside doing yard work and prepping to stain the front porch tomorrow. It is hot and super humid so I’m dripping with sweat. DH is trying to keep the kids occupied while I work. I’m currently inside with V, she just got done nursing. mwhip I would be pissed too. Why can’t they do the changes without additional money down? Sounds like an excuse to me.

Jealous of rain, it's soo dry here! The cicadas are getting intense, one fell on my back last night..it's finally perfect weather to sit out at night, but I have no desire to be out there now.
Had a baseball game, music class, picked up some library books, and now trying to tackle things around the house. We head to the beach next week, so need to take inventory on beach stuff and start considering packing..the renter emailed us and said we could come two days early for $100 a night, so we are hopping on that offer and will drive after work on Thursday.

Side note: what does one do with a 3 ft tall marshmallow bunny peep gifted to 4 yr old at Easter? It won't fit under a bed. Asking for a friend....🙄🤪 ETA: gifted by MIL Like an edible one or a stuffed one? I think goodwill would love a stuffed one. If edible, then hello trash can!

Will you lose any money? I don’t know how this stuff works, so just curious.

Hi.
I rush cleaned the house this morning before baseball for the buyers to do the walkthrough. Based on my outside motion camera- they were here for 1 hour. I don’t know what that means, but I am not looking forward to hearing from my realtor. If they make any more requests I am done. They can take it as is or I can put it back on the market.
We had baseball and got another W. I had a couple 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ moments when M decided to try to get the runner going home out by throwing the ball at him. This kid. Have no clue why he thought that was a good idea.
I’ll just be in packing he’ll the rest of the day. 😩😩😩

My area is peak area though...I'll send some pix on IG to ya Eta- they last about 6 weeks. They were delayed bc it's been cold, so now likely around until end of June 😑

That’s ridiculous mwhip! Will they negotiate that amount? Don’t settle for less than what you want. There’s got to be a way through or out. inthekitty I just read yesterday’s and Im sorry C is in so much pain. I will say that I sprained my ankle many years ago and it was pretty bad and super painful where it sprained. Hopefully it is just that. chrisy01 good luck on your homework. I am so impressed with you doing all this schooling while momming and working full time!

We had baseball this morning and it was painful. They decided to start kid pitch but the kids have hardly practiced it so it was basically the kids throwing five bad pitches and the coach stepping in. The kids in the field were so bored. I have no idea who won because I almost fell asleep! The coach came to us after and would like to nominate C for the All Star Tournament team. He sent the info and I just don’t know that we can do the time commitment. It would be about of month of 4 practices and 1 game a week in the July heat. He has to try out so it’s not a guarantee so maybe I’ll let him try and if he is selected evaluate from there.
We also told him we would allow tackle football if he wanted to try that and he was ecstatic! I told him that this is a big deal and his body needs to be in prime shape so he needs to eat vegetables. We will see how that goes!
Dh and I had a nice day out yesterday. We hit some good sales and got some good summer basics. I almost got a Tory Burch bag at a huge discount but I really wanted black and they only had navy. I’m going to continue to hold my money for the fall Strathberry collection.

[mention]mwhip [/mention] I would see what options you have. Sometimes builders will negotiate with the future homeowners without the selling company involved.
