What?
You're sick of me complaining about my kitchen?
You think I'm being a baby because in the end I'll have a new kitchen and that's nothing to complain about?
Hmmm...I see your point, but I'm going to complain anyway.
I am OVER having men in my house.
15 years ago, this wouldn't have been a problem...I liked men...lots of them!
Now? It's just annoying and I want my space back.
I'm hoping today is the last day.
If Contractor is sick of fixing the things that we're finding, then he should stop fucking up...do it right the first time.
I did dishes last night and the faucet leaked...what the what?
Is this Amateur Hour?
Then the granite around the faucet turned color.
That ain't good, right?
It went back to normal color once it dried, but I'm kinda thinking this is an issue.
I'm sure I'll get an exasperated sigh when I mention it.
I'm sure he'll try to tell me that it's normal.
I'm sure that he'll try to explain to me that I just didn't use the faucet correctly (ya know, because I'm such a fucking idiot).
At which point, I will freak.
Then, I'll drag the Crazies out of their home for yet another day and find something "fun" for them to do.
Yesterday, we went to the pool after my workout. Hailey busted her lip and it swelled like nothing I've ever seen...a popsicle fixed that. Not to be outdone, Matt slid on a slippery part of the pool and totally wiped out...he cut the top of his foot. Who cuts the top of their foot???
After everyone was settled down with a little ice cream (note to self: don't buy the push-up ice creams anymore, the Crazies have NO IDEA how to use them and they're just a lot of work for YOU), we went back out to the pool where Hailey proceeded to stand on the edge and whine, "I wanna go home...I wanna eat lunch at home...I wanna lay on the floor in my room and color with my markers...I wanna go home right now." So, I hugged her...what else could I do? She almost made ME cry! I wanna go home toooooo!!!
She also cried when I dropped her off at Kids' Zone...that hasn't happened since they were 8 months old!
So, I'm saying, get the fuck out of my house...finish up, make it right, take your shit, and get out of my house. I need my space back. I need to put things in my cabinets. I need to allow my children to play with their toys. I need a morning where I'm not eating at Panera.
That's right...I'm sick of eating out too...never thought I'd say that.
I miss my routine. I miss the order that is created in my house. I miss the luxury of making coffee in my kitchen and not my living room.
On an up note, it is looking beautiful (I know...looks aren't everything, but I'm a girlie girl at heart...it's PRETTY and SHINY, so it wins my heart).
I'm sure that Contractor thought this was going to be an easier job than it's turned out to be. He didn't count on Husband knowing what he was talking about and being able to pick out a mistake from the front door. He didn't count on us being the kind of people that would ask him to redo things and to do them right. He didn't realize that we weren't as laid back as he thought.
Oh, and then he loudly called my name up the stairs yesterday while the Crazies were sleeping...no one does that...get the fuck out of my house.

Did you tell him you're a Noise Nazi? :)
Precious Hailey!! Love her!!!
I know what you mean - I'm about ready for people to leave after two days - that's my upper limit.
Come back here right this minute and wait it out!!
OK, that's too much to ask now, isn't it? Poor babies (and Mommy too) - hopefully, it will be finished today and then you won't have anything to complain about - you'll just brag about your new kitchen for a few weeks. At least until vacation when you'll ooh and aahh about the beach!
I am so sorry! I have been there. We did a complete master bathroom reno with a crawling infant...no fun! I could not keep him out of the mess.
I am NOT saying they didn't do something wrong, but when granite gets wet, it does discolor a bit until it dries. It is a porous material (which is why you can't use harsh cleaners on it). Anyway, I guess it just wasn't clear if you got water on the counter, or if it was leaking from somewhere...just wanted to add my two cents.
Hang in there, hopefully it'll be over soon!
When our builder was putting some finishing touches on our house, he whistled at me to get my attention. I walked in to see what he needed and he was topless in my shower! Granted, he was putting grout on the tile above the shower...but still! I had a 1/2 naked builder in my shower!
fingers crossed. i can't believe it's taking so long!!!! arg!
I am not a fan of eating out all of the time, too expensive and too much of a headache with the kids.
Are we going to see before and after pictures or at least after pictures?
I totally get it...I would so be over it by now!! Hope they are out for good soon!! Are you going share before and after pictures?
First, I love that you have fuck in your post title, because sometimes I feel like the only asshole who swears on her blog. Second, I can't blame you. My husband is the same way about stuff so people who work on our house hate us too.
awwww...poor Hailey! I'm sure they're tired and totally over being misplaced all day long for weeks on end!
I don't blame you one bit. And as far as him not counting on you being the kind of people that expect him to do it 'right'...ummm isn't that his JOB - to do it right the FIRST time and make it right if its not!? Complain all you want - you're paying him good $$$!!
Hope you have your kitchen (& life) back tomorrow!!
Oh- the yelling while the kids are sleeping is truly the last straw!
I hate having people in my house too... even if it's just for a couple hours to fix a plumbing issue... I am soooooo protective of my space.
May you have your kitchen soon.
haha. oh my.... hang in there. at least you have a kitchen big enough to even renovate. i live in NYC... home of the mini fridge and half pint oven.
