the whole get enough food/drink to last the next 24-48 hours thing is getting really really really really really old. Lu is hungry about every 26 minutes for something 'special'. I cannot wait for this house to be finished. I am going to stay the night with the kiddos b/c we are going up there to work this evening on the cabinets and I have to be there at 8am for DirectTv person, soooooo.....I have to be able to feed myself and Lu (lila is still easy) until tomorrow afternoon with no running water (thank goodness the toilet works). It is like living opposite post-hurricane, electricity (in rooms with lights which actually is only the BR and LR now that I think about it) and toilet but NO sinks and NO tub. Stinky girls.
This last little haul of finishing bathroom and kitchen is being difficult bc we are so busy with work. I am working at least 7-8 hours/day and Jarred is working 14+. The whole lawsuit thing took awhile to deal with this am, which thankfully I dont have to deal with anymore. I spent 2 hours at the nursery gettting plants and loading them. Another hour at the jobsite waitin gfor the Bobcat to finish getting serviced so the B&Bs could get unloaded. Another day in the life of small business america.
Ironic thing is that we got invited to dinner with the Hunter Irrigation Product rep b/c (drum roll please) we were the #1 buyer of Hunter products in Metro BR Area. Also, got our first check returned by our best client (they are suffering from lack of bank financing-only getting $200k a month to run a $100mil/yr company.)
Hard times. But we were all standing around the job laughing about the NSF check joking that in 10 years, hopefully we will all be standing around (alot richer or at least not giving/getting bounced checks) looking back laughing about how hard these times were and how thankful we were to have great people to do business with and the help we got from each other get through them.
