HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY 11~14~2016

WOW where did last week go?  I did get some rest after the dry wall guy from hell left Thursday afternoon on the 2nd day of a one day job and I got the initial clean up done.  UNFORTUNATELY, we had to call his boss out to see the problems that DID NOT get dealt with and he will be back AGAIN today! GRRRRRRRRRRR & UGHHHHHHHHH! I hate delays, especially those caused by carelessness.  On top of it the dry wall guy actually asked for more money because he felt he'd been asked to do more than the original (and VERY expensive) quote called for!!!
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
The weather has been GORGEOUS this past week and this upcoming week is supposed to be more of the same - cool evenings (I even needed a light jacket last night when I walked the dogs) which lead to cool mornings and extremely pleasant days.

ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE
Peach Yogurt and coffee.

AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE
I see the covered furniture and am already looking forward to the dry wall guy being gone so I can clean again.

    1. Having the dry wall guy out of here has brightened my week exponentially already. When he got here he was upset because he felt it was "good enough". I let hubby deal with him. Honestly, the guy gives me the creeps so I'm glad he's gone. There a small spot that still isn't right, but I can fix that myself at this point.

      Going to Children's hospital tomorrow to drop off several BIG boxes of ornaments and decorations for their trees and then order the carpet! YAY!

      Hubby and I were talking today that we won't move again until our REALLY OLD animals have passed, but we're talking about seriously coming north again, I'm so excited about that. I really miss the Northwoods!

    1. He is done, at least in my book. When he got here he was upset because he felt it was "good enough". I let hubby deal with him. Honestly, the guy gives me the creeps so I'm glad he's gone. There a small spot that still isn't right, but I can fix that myself at this point.

  6. I am so sorry about your headaches, sure hope they get better. Yeah if I had the dry wall guys at my house and my furniture covered, I would be going a little batty. lol
    Aren't we just having the best weather here in Texas? I'm loving it :)

    1. Yep, the weather has turned slightly perfect, praying it will last! Just keep reminding myself that 90% of everything will be done in just a few weeks. The other 1O% is outside so I'll rest easier then.
