I am finally getting my car fixed tomorrow from the accident my mom was in. I get to drive the range Rover until it's fixed and I'm excited.

I also double booked myself tomorrow because the kids have their 2 yr and 4 yr physicals at the same time the car needs to be dropped off. Whoops.

The other chick must has made up some good ass story because her insurance isn't covering so we have to go through ours. But my rep told me they're still trying to get their hands on the recorded statement from the first cop that was there that said they couldn't take the report. So I guess they're still trying to get her insurance to pick it up. Whatever. I'm just over it and want my reimbursement for the car seats and I want a new car. This one is a lease which is up soon so we have to get it fixed before turning it in.

Betweenthelines, wow!! That really sucks. I think that's what's going to happen to my friend, too. I'd just want it over too.

so we've been working on updating our kitchen since we moved in 2 years ago. a little here a little there. for the past 9 months or so, there's been a huge hole in our wall from where we took an old pantry out and replaced. and the backsplash we tried to remove but couldn't (concreted on for cyring out loud) so that part of the wall looks trashy. and an empty spot for a microwave.. H finally coordinated workers to come in yesterday to finish! the drywall is up, the new microwave is installed correctly (vent for exhaust up through ceiling) and cabinets secured. All we need to do is paint and add backsplash. which was ordered. And it was ordered with my love of sunflowers in mind!! Sunflower BacksplashBut the workers were at my house until almost 7 last night - i stayed late at work, stopped at the store and they were still there. my house is trashed and the kids didn't get their baths. and we ate while sitting on the floor. and A kept trying to speak to the workers but they didn't really speak English and she didn't understand. After we finally settled for the night - i took my anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxer and went to bed. I am so tired still. PDQ POOF

You and me both. At this point I'm just so over it. I need to just move forward because H is pissing me off about the car not being fixed yet.

Ugh. I'm sorry about the car insurance situation. That's similar to what happened to us when an industrial truck hit MH, totaling our car. He told his insurance that both he and MH we're merging, so it was no fault, but the reality is, MH had already completed merging and had been in the lane. Unfortunately, because our car was old we didn't have collision on it so we got nothing.

Ugh— the window in my office and a spot on the ceiling tend to leak during heavy rain. I'm going to have to ask a colleague to check on it and move my books or papers near the areas. I was smart and put a plant underneath one of the leaky spots.

It's crazy thunderstorms this morning. I'm really glad I had already planned a WFH day today. One is rolling through Queens right now. It's crazy, it was SO sunny and clear sky out east at 5:40 this morning, then by the time I travel 45 minutes it's like pitch black.

I can't even be excited about Friday right now. I'm exhausted from trying to figure out what we are going to do about the sewer line and how we are going to afford it. Then K ended up in our bed last night and was restless which made for a shit night sleep. I need to do something to get my mind off of it all, but of course, we need to be super careful about what we spend now so we can deal with this stupid sewer line.

So with DH's new schedule, he's been picking up the kids from day care. When he does pick up, I do drop off which I haven't done... in a long time.
Today I dropped Littlest in another classroom (because of staffing and whatever). The aide in there was a same aide Little had. Littlest jumped out of my arms, ran up to her, and gave her a big hug. Made my heart happy that he likes her. And then sad because he instantly forgot about me.

fierymama, is the super high quote you got from roto rooter? I'm not a home owner, but I remember my sister having plumbing/ sewage issues. She initially called roto rooter and was told everything needed to be replaced and given a crazy cost. Then she called an independent contractor, and it turned out to be a very easy fix for a couple hundred rather than thousands of dollars (vs 10K or something like that). She ended up complaining and threatening to contact consumer affairs/ better business bureau and roto rooter actually refunded her for the initial visit they did. The independent contractor told her that the way the roto rooter business is set up, they are basically encouraged to scam people. So anyway, if you are basing the cost on roto rooter, I'd get a second opinion.

RunsforWineandCarbs, renos are so stressful. DH has been finishing the attic for the past 10 months. We are thisclose to being done. I'm using this in the future the next time DH says "I'll just do it."

This happened with a friend of mine and after a couple of months, her insurance company was able to get it so that the other person was seen as "at fault" and she got a check for her deductible and it was not on her insurance. THere's still hope for you. FX!

He finally has gotten better the last couple of weeks but I till get a death stare as he's sitting in his room eating his breakfast. It's so much better this way but it was nice to feel so loved.

fierymama, I agree that you should get another quote. It won't hurt and you never know what you'll find out.
