Deadlines and stress

I really could spit fire right now!!!!

I am so damn mad and stressed....

1. Ok the "house mover" told me last Thursday that the house will be moved Tuesday the 29 the.....

2. I call him Monday to verify the next day appointment and he tells me this shit story and that we could bank on Friday....Ok I understand and I will see your ass Friday the 1st of sept...

3. I call Wednesday to check on things for Friday.... He tells me Monday the ...what the hell!!!!!
ok I am a easy person to get along with but this is bull shit!
damn!

4. So today I call him after looking at the weather channel and local weather cast and it will be raining Monday....................!!!!!!!
I call him and tell him, his response is this! " I have other jobs I need to complete and your next on the list" god bless his soul should that house get stuck in the mud.

I am so hot and mad that he is screwing with me! dh just calls me to call him, I wish he would take some control on this, but knowing dh this would stress him out more then me and I can not take that right now.

so in short......
should I not update my blog Tuesday September the 4th ...I will be in jail.



wonder if there is internet in jail???

Update: house

Well, I just got word, the house will be moved Tuesday the 29th. (weather permitting)
oh, the stress is rising again and I feel butterflies in my stomach. Just to be able to go home one day soon, and not have to worry about house things will be so nice.
the electric company came out yetersday and installed the poles. They will return today or Friday to run the lines.
we have decided to paint the paneling in the living, dining and kitchen at this moment. Money is running low and that is something that can be replaced later. As far as that kitchen!!!! I will need to hire a designer to do that later also, it is horrid...gag.

so that's the scoop today and hopefully I will be able to update a few more times before the big day. crossing fingers for no rain for the next few days

8-11 RANT

I hate when people think they are better then someone else! Who are they to judge?

I also dislike for someone to place their self higher then the next. We are all the same.

I have problems and I like to vent...Get over it.

yes you have your opinion, but hey I do too! You might not like it, and I might not like yours but life goes on!

if you see something that MIGHT bother you get over it and turn away!

I am 31 years old!!! Not a pre-teen.

I am free to speak my mind and I have worked for my freedom!

I work full time and I support my family. I hate welfare mouchers. Get off you fat , lazy butt and go to work. I hate have to support you and my own.


and hey have a great weekend! :-)

there's progress!


well, they will be pouring the concrete today at 10:00 am! yeah for me!

mil has been praying for days about the rain to go around and not dampen the work.
it has paid off! so come monday i'll post pictures of the slab!
crossing fingers to make it by september 4, 2006.

blessing sent to Kiwi land

thanks a million kiwi's to Neen! i am truely in love with my new banner! i dig that loop!!!

what a scare!

great neighbor 1/2 mile down the road luckly the lady that just bought the house down the highway calls a mutual friend we share and the friend calls me a work to tell me that there is a grass fire by your house.
ok so i tell her i will be home in 15 minutes and for her to call 9-1-1....so walking out the door i call my fil on his cell and he tells me he was burning some trees this morning and it was under control..??
me: where are you at?
fil: at home eating lunch, why?
me: i just told sky to call 911 about the fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fil: i will go check it out , i was just burning some small trees. no big deal. i am sure she is just seeing the smoke...i'll call when i get there!

the storyk, my father in law was in the field next to my house burning some old trees that fell down from the storm.....so he "sees" the fire is under control and leaves! to go to his house 4 miles away to eat lunch?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so he calls me back within 5 minutes and is holloring over the sirens and coughing from the smoke! fil: lori, the fire got out of control!
me: What the hel*!!!!!!!!!! no sh@t
fil: yes , but it is all ok! they but it out, man, i got close to the house too!
me: ( now) how close?
fil: like 20 feet or so. none to worry about
me: i 'll be home in alittle bit.
fil: no need the guys got it under control..so here i sit at work wondering what the heck was he thinking? he's a retired farmer and should know better. gosh! i sh*t in my pants worring about all the scrapbooks and all the pictures and other old things that can not be replaced....and to top it off what would have happened if it did catch the house on fire? omg!and i still have 4 weeks to move in the newer house!sorry for the rant but the stress and heat is literally getting to me!
