Frustration

My husband asked me this morning if I'm going to be in a bad mood again today. I told him that I am sorry, I seem to be in a funk, but that I would definitely try to "sweeten up" (as my dad used to tell me). He asked why I was so miserable, and I told him that I am so frustrated that the last work that was done on our kitchen was on Monday, and it's now Saturday, and the contractors aren't planning on being at the house until Monday. That's a whole week wasted. I could understand if there was one thing that they were waiting on, and that they needed that portion to be completed before they continued, but in my opinion that's not the case. They say that the granite fabrication process is taking longer than they thought, and that it won't be ready until Monday/Tuesday (it was supposed to be ready on Thursday/Friday). There's more than just the granite that needs to go in. The outside needs painted, the roof needs shingled, the lighting needs to be finished, the transitioin pieces from the hardwood to the carpet needs to be done, and a few more things. All of which do not require the granite to be installed to be worked on. This project was supposed to be completed on April 18, and we're 11 days shy of 2 months later. I WANT MY KITCHEN BACK! I want to cook a meal for my family, have my friends over and get back to normal life. Thankfully I like my contractors and I don't mind too much when they're here during the day. I'm probably not too happy with them at the moment, but in general, I like them. I will like them even more when they're all done and out of my house.

I have to admit that this medium of "blogging" allows me to get my frustrations out there and I don't have to take it out on my family. I am really enjoying this, and the blogs will definitely continue!
