This has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with weight loss, but I am just SO annoyed! My husband's friggin' family has left us high and dry YET AGAIN! I asked them a couple of weeks ago if they could help us out with the kiddos this week and they said they could and then LAST NIGHT they say they FORGOT!!!! So now, we have NO help to get the trim and siding up on our house. This is possibly my husband's last cycle on shift work, which means he won't have more than a couple of days off for a while. And with winter coming before we know it, we need siding on our house! It's pouring the rain as we speak and I'm already worried that we will need to let things dry out before we can even put the stuff on. I am just AGGRAVATED!!!! Seriously, they bend over backwards if anyone else even has a fart turned sideways and when we genuinely need help, they won't do it. URGH!!! I swear, I am so angry I could stomp my feet like a toddler!!! I can't even find the right words to express just how annoyed with these people I am! I put out an emergency request on FB for help, but I highly doubt anyone will. My poor Mom said if all else failed, she'd put in for vacation time. But I hate for her to do that. It isn't fair to them that they are constantly having to help us out. If my sitter was available, I'd use her. I'm going to contact her again and make sure she has NOTHING available. We have to do something. Otherwise we're going to be spending an hour or two each day trying to get a 4 day job done. :( I just don't know what we're going to do! I wonder if we got youngest up at the same time as oldest if he would take a longer nap? His naps range from 2 to 3 hrs. If he took a 3hr. nap, we could get a lot done. We'd just have to sit the monitors back up which wouldn't be a big deal at all. Three hours a day would be better than nothing. We'd just have to leave our stuff out so we could get back at it faster each day. I hate to do that, but it's better than not getting it done. Even if it doesn't get painted this time, as long as it is hung and caulked, I'll be happy with that.
I don't really have much else to report other than it is POURING the rain here. Which is fine... we needed the rain. And it's not coming down so hard that it won't drain. So, today is going to be a somewhat easy day at home. All I plan on doing really is working on laundry. I want to get it all done for the week if I can. That way I don't have to worry with it. I guess I need to go change that out and try not to stew all day. I've pretty much stewed and marinated all night! Yes, I am that annoyed! Just one more thing in a long list of things they have done to piss me off. I should've never wasted my time asking them! UGH. Ok. Off of here for now.
Isn't it frustrating! It always seems that family expects you to be there when you need them but when you need some help they're nowhere to be found! I sincerely believe it's some sort of attitude toward trades people. Hubby's family is the exact same way with him. He knows how to do all this stuff, so he doesn't need any help, even if it is something as simple as watching the kids! Even if it is just 3 hours per day, you're right, it's better than nothing! Good luck getting it done!
ReplyDeleteYeah, yesterday was a hoot as tornados touched down in my neck of the woods. Of course, I was at Target when the power went out! The drive home was sketchy for sure but we're okay. Perhaps you should make yourself more unavailable for those who can't seem to "remember" their promisies of availability to you, at least for a while. It's not like you're asking them to babysit so you can go party, for pete's sake.
