contractor hell

So, our renovations are almost done. we have 3 more days until the deadline and I don't think he's going to make it. I'm worried. Very, very worried. I've pressed Mr. Kim to get it done. He says it'll probably be done. Key word probably. I thought all is ok until I got a phone call from our flooring guy. He says that he's going to sue us if we don't figure out how our contractor is going to finish paying off a balance of $8,000. He says he can place a lien on our apt if he doesn't get his money. Ugh. Yet another snag. I swear I'm going to get high blood pressure this year.

It's been a hard year. 2007 did not treat me well. I've been stressed about the store and all our expenses and this contract work that is taking a lot longer than I had anticipated.

Another shock is Br. Thomas. He called saying he had a tumor growing on his lung. So, it's been a bad few months. I know it's because I'm drifting farther and farther from God and not thinking about him in all I do. I've been very distracted lately. Now, of course since I need his help, I've been in communication.

I've got to go. I've got a long day ahead of me dealing with these contractors. I'll fill you in on all the drama.

friday

Finally, I've started a blog. I've always wanted to make one but never got around to it. I'm doing this for my children. They can grow up and see the struggles and milestones of their days through my eyes. Actually, maybe I'm doing it for me. When I'm old and gray, I can look back and think wonderful thoughts and reminisce the days of my young, beautiful children. Gosh, I'm already tearing up just thinking about that. I guess every so often, I'll have to mention me and my husband. That'll be pretty sad if I've omitted us in the mix. After all, without mommy and daddy, Lola and Bradley would not be here. :)

Thank goodness it's Friday. I always enjoy Fridays. It's the day before family day. It's the day all the Rims are together.... usually doing nothing, but at least we're together. It's bath night. The kids have been working up a nice sweat. Feels good, I'm' sure.

Only 26 more days until we move into our new home. I can't wait. I just hope everything is ready on time. We've been anticipating this move for a long time. I hope it comes out nice. I guess we'll see.
