Just another Manic Monday (& weekend)

OK.  Here's the deal.  We go to our new house on Thursday evening and notice that there is a water stain on the tile in the kitchen.  The trim was wet by the refrig. nook and on the other side of the wall in the living room. I immediately thought there is a water leak (the water was turned on that day in the house) due to the builder having to cap and re-direct water lines because the kitchen/girl's bathroom/laundry room was originally plumbed wrong!!   We went home and emailed/left v/messages for the builder's assistant.  I got NO SLEEP that night, all I could think about was going by the house on Friday morning and seeing water running out the front door and down the driveway!  Scott went by the house at 6am on Friday morning and called to let me know that all the water was dried up, but some of the trim work would need to be re-installed and painted.  The hardwoods and the kitchen cabinet fronts looked fine.  We went ahead and scheduled for an indep. inspector to come in and check to make sure there is no moisture under the cabinets and in the wall this coming Friday.  The builder's assistant called and explained that a refrig.valve was open when the water was turned on and that is where the water came from.  We met with the builder's foreman and the assistant (which went well) this morning to go over some punch list items and it looks like we may be closing on the 13th.  As in.......Friday the 13th!!! Isn't that the icing on the craptastic cake!!!!  Do you think it's a good idea to be moving heavy furniture on that date?!Hmmmmm.......

After our meeting at the house, I get in my car and there is a warning light on and a tire sign.  I thought that due to the extremely hot weather we have been having my tire pressure must be off or something, so I decide to go ahead and head to Honda and get it checked out.  The conversation with the repair guy goes something like this.........

Repair guy: "You have a nail in the rear passenger side tire that is in the side wall and can't be repaired. It will have to be replaced."

Me:  "Oh no!! Do I have to buy two tires?"

Repair guy:  "Nope, just one...........oh wait I found another nail in your driver's side front tire. So...yea, you need two tires."

Me: "1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10"- (the repair guy looks at me like I'm an idiot)

Repair guy:  "Have you been in a construction area lately or something?"

Me: "URGGGGGG!" I love having to buy new tires to replace tires that have less than 12,000 miles on them!!!"

A few minutes later the repair guy comes back over to me with the work order for me to sign.  Before looking at it I say (half jokeing) "If you tell me there is a 3rd and or 4th nail/tire needs to be replaced story I am going to kick you in the shin." He just kinda laughes, he may have thought I was more serious than jokeing.  The good news is that the dealership has a jump-jump so the girls were entertained for the 1.5 hours we were there.  The bad news is that one of the kids that was playing in the jump-jump got out and said "I don't feel good" and BARFED!!  Her mom just cleaned up the mess and her child and let the girl back in the jump-jump.  I pulled my kids out quick and squirted them down with antibacterial hand lotion which doesn't do much good since they have played with the girl for the prior 30 minutes!!!! GEEZ!!!!!

Sorry this post is forever long....but that's the way it goes sometimes.... I am not even going to get into the story about Elerz sticking a match stick carrot up her nose...I'll save that for another day. Here are some pics of the girls at the dealership.

Elerz with her monkey on her back!

 Nat, Elerz and another girl (NOT the one that barfed!!)
