Piece O Shite

Do you know what sucks worse then being woken up after just falling asleep at midnight?

When you are woken up by your almost 2 yr. old, whiny child because he is going through his I refuse to sleep in my bed stage.

Do you know what's worse then just having to put said whiny child back to his bed and letting him cry?

When you go into said whiny child's room and realize this his fricken window is flooding out because it has a humongous leak.

It's been raining about the last 3 days. More rain then I have seen since we moved here 3 yrs. ago. And the damn window is leaking. Onto new carpet, peeling off new paint, getting toys and books wet.

So, I have called 6 different places this morning and have scheduled 2 free estimates to get windows replaced. ALL the windows. Not going to be pretty, especially on the pocketbook..

oh man.. that blows!
You know what really sucks then? Going into said-whiney kids's room, finding a leaking window cuz it's been raining for 3 days, realizing that it's gonna keep on raining and you have to pay for new windows, AND carpets, cuz they're changing your windows in the rain...

Now that'll suck.

I have done the new window thing twice. Once in a house we moved out of a few months later (we were so not thinking ahead!) and then in our current house. They put them in during a really, really cold fall day. That was fun. The fun part is also not the cost, but I hope that line they tell you that 'it pays for themselves in the end' is the truth!

Yikes...that's gonna hurt! I hope the damage to the carpet and walls was an easy fix and nothing permanant...

Ma told me about that. That's so sucky, but once everything is said and done, you'll love the new windows. I don't know about Cali, but you can do a tax credit for those in MI :)

At least it didn't happen before Christmas like things tend to...that really stinks. There goes your taxes or something, huh? Hope it won't cost too much!

that's probably why he was crying though if it was raining that hard.

i remember when it took me months to get adam to sleep in his bed...omg, the memories are horrible. but it passes....good luck though!

Shhhh Choppzs! I was just trying to throw Stacie off my trail, then Pam came in with her story and all is well.

And hey Babe, hope you get those windows fixed! *shaking head and trying to imagine THAT much rain in California*
