What's Missing From This Picture?




 We learned we dealt with a sale person that knows next to nothing about his product when we picked out the floor.  The tile installer comes yesterday and almost immediately said, "You can't use these tiles in this room. The moisture won't even let them stay put." A similar sounding product name was what we wanted. DH knew how to describe it, but didn't know specifically what it was called. He trusted the guy and we ordered based on his recommendation. Now we have to wait until Wednesday afternoon for a new order to be placed, and if we are lucky, Thursday or Friday they will be installed. 


Big old sheet of cement.
Despite getting rid of the couch, chair and an old television, there was still my work armoire, another student desk, a book shelf and a bow flex to move to clear the floor for the installation. I'm using corners of my laundry room and the downstairs bathroom, the one that was supposed to be getting spruced up, to put the items until they can go back. Everything related to this house and our home life seems to be one big cluster @#%# right now, so this was on par. If not done by Friday, we'll just have to move furniture back out of their awkward storage spaces, and move it again. I need access to the washer and dryer and my armoire is blocking it. A desk in the bathroom is blocking access for others to use bathroom two. 

Not very conducive to doing laundry.

When DH called me, I honestly was fighting back tears. I just want the room back again and it has been too long. While a pain in the ass, DH and I tried to keep reminding each other that we may be dealing with the aftermath of water damage, but we have our home. We've been inconvenienced but not displaced.I know that is true, but I am very disappointed and very tired. Yet, insomnia is back, and I'm going to post this a bit before 4:00 a.m. I tried falling back to sleep, but its futile to try if it doesn't happen within a few minutes. Trying to be productive but not noisy, I'm getting a jump start on some work, completed some additional school forms and payments (of course) for DD2, and finishing this post. I might be able to get another hour of sleep if I get some of this off my mind. Until tomorrow, or later today as it were, have a good one.
