sheira's Journal

Tonight was a good night.  We ate an early supper and went for a family walk afterward.  The kids were pretty good...with the exception of the small things that drive me nuts....like my ss not picking up after himself and my oldest daughter crying for no reason (she does that a lot). 

Today was a different story.  My contractor surprised me with a visit at my office.  He wanted to discuss payment.  He has been riding our asses for about 2 months to pay for work that has not been done, and work that has been done poorly.  Our lawyer advised us not to pay him a cent.  And that's what I am doing.  He wasted a half an hour of my time and totally threw me off my game for the rest of the day of work.  I felt like strangling him.  The last thing I wanted to do was have to sue somebody, but apparently that's the only way we are going to get what we want out of this renovation.  He has advised me that he is not willing to just walk away from the project and the payment owing and let us get another person in there to finish the job that they have f-ed right up.

That being said.....I think I just ruined my mood again by starting to think about this gong show again....boo.
