Floors & Respect
My Mom’s getting hardwood flooring in her bedroom, the hall way, the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The carpets we have are from the 70s when my Mom bought the house.
It’s loud and noisy and yesterday I got to see Trey got a little bit and he pointed out that my pupils were really dilated and asked what I’d taken but I hadn’t taken anything. It was just from this really strong gluey stuff they were using here.
I went down to the library this morning because you couldn’t get to a bathroom at all. We have two full baths and a half bath, and they were all blocked off. So I just chilled there and felt free to pee as I needed to.
I think the kitchen’s about to be blocked off for several hours too. All I’ve had to eat today wa two pieces o toast around ten this morning… Someone needs to come save me.
My Mom’s also being really icky. (Like usual.) I know this is stressful and you’re pissed and you don’t like people in your house, but you were the one that wanted new floors. You were the one that hired and invited these men in and they’re just trying to do the job they’ve been hired to do. Maybe they aren’t working on one room at a time, like originally planned, but things change. Go with the flow and stop yelling at them.
You know, this morning when you were being completely disrespectful I was thrilled to hear that poor man stand up to you and say that he didn’t deserve to be treated like that and he wouldn’t. He was about to pack his stuff up and walk out. I’m glad you had to apologize and be put in your place. Yes, they were late by about an hour, but if I’m not mistaken it was because they had trouble getting the tiles needed for the dining room. Shit happens, plans change, yeah it’d been nice of them to call and let you know what was up, but oh well. Chill out and go with the flow!All right, speaking of chilling out, I’m just breathe now. Sorry that turned into a bit of a vent, I originally got on to write about my doctors appointment yesterday, but then I started on the floors and yeah… I’ll try to post about that soon separately. I’m going to go read or something and attempt to relax.
Hope everyone is having a good day!

I hope they finish the floors soon, so you can get back though your own home.
Everyone deserves respect. Hopefully, your mother was brought down a peg or two and will keep it together. I also hope your doctor visit goes well.
Wood floors are nice. Sound like you’re either getting engineered hardwood or laminated, since you are using glue. Wood floor in kitchen isn’t the greatest idea because wood dislike water (will cause expansion) and kitchen is frequently wet.
It’s a good thing you don’t have dogs inside the house because they’re not as pet friendly as tiles.
It’s amazing you guys kept the carpet from the 70s. You must have taken great care of it.
Is your mom going to memopause? Maybe that’s why she’s very difficult to be with.
go find a spot to just chill out.
great news.
@sf2slc - They’re laminate, and the laundry room has tiles. No, she went through that a while ago (she’s 58), she’s just bitchy a lot of the time :/
@malestop - That’s what I did with the library, then after a big blow out (which I’m about to update about) I took off and got out of the house.
@my0615 - @RighteousBruin – Thanks! Luckily when I got back home tonight, they were all finished and done. Thank Jesus lol
Does your mom has any friends? Sound like she is stressed all the time and doesn’t know how to deal with the stress. Your dad not being home often (for work) leave everything to her. She has to find a healthy way to de-fuse, or else her stress is rolling over to evreyone else in the family.
Home repair often brings unexpected changes and charges. This isn’t something that follows a list, I hope your mom realizes that :-/ Hopefully they finish soon!!
