[Leger13]

Good morning all!

Morning...

I really didn't want to worry immediately about getting it fixed if I don't have to.

We have a birthday luncheon today AND I have to leave early this afternoon to go to the dentist (just by biannual cleaning)

I hear ya there.

BTW you never told me how Nathan's bday party was....

6500!!!

OhMYGosh, his party was AWESOME!!!

There was a huge spacewalk (or some may call it a bouncer or something???) and there were only 3 kids since it was a family party. She rented the thing because Nathan wanted it so badly. The only reason she didn't invite more kids and do an all-out party was because they went to WDW a couple weeks ago.

Also she set up a slip-n-slide and bought water balloons. Can you see where this is going?...


There were hoses being sprayed, water balloons being thrown, buckets of ice water being dumped, I mean it was an all out all day water fight.

Luckily I changed into my swimsuit early on, before they came back with more water balloons. (She had a little pack to start with, and everyone found it so much fun that her 2 brother in laws went to Walmart to buy 1000 of them!!!)

When we were still in our clothes, Christina had gotten bombed with water balloons so she just said 'screw it' and jumped in the slip-n-slide and got SOAKED. Then she came to me and gave me a BIG ole hug!

Then when we were playing pin the tail on the donkey (yes, she made adults play) and Christina was blindfolded, they dumped a huge bucket of ice water on her. It was HILARIOUS! She had her swimsuit on by then, but said the water was VERY VERY cold!

I'm so SORE from running around and jumping/sliding in that big spacewalk thing. It had a slide, a basketball goal, punching bags,...the works!
Nathan kept fighting me and I have 4 bruises on my legs from him. LOL

Also we had bbq. mmmm

We all had a blast!

 

[cherbear]

oh I forgot to say...when Mike showed up after he got off work, EVERYONE that was still there had 2 water balloons in our hands, and bombed him!!

oh man that sounds like SO much fun!!! And that is hilarious that everyone got Mike with the water balloons when he showed up.

Did Christina ever fill you in on their Disney trip besides the hospital stay? Did they have fun before her DH got sick?

yeah, it was a total blast. big kid fun!!!

Yeah, they had a good time in between people arguing. We talked about fun stuff and it seemed like she enjoyed herself for the most part. She showed me her Photopass pics and they got a good bit.

She also said they liked Blizzard Beach better than Typhoon Lagoon. But I also think they got some bad weather on their TL day so they didn't get to do as much.

 

[cherbear]

I'm about to head out to lunch (for a few birthdays here) so I will explain what happened this morning when I get back. yes, MORE bad stuff.

Oh that's good. I'm glad they had fun leading up to the hospital stay. And yay for photopass pictures! I wish I knew her so I could see. I love looking at everyone's WDW pictures!

I've never been to either one so I dunno

yay for birthday lunches. Have fun!!

And for the bad thing

So here’s the story:

Yesterday we got a roofing quote from a contractor. His quote was too high, I believe Mike(DH) told him we’d get back to him. When really, we didn’t want him to do the job. Anyway, all he did was a quote.

Then this morning…I got a call from Mike…he said he woke up to banging noises on the roof. He went outside to find 5 guys on the roof ripping off shingles!!!! And a quote taped to the door facing the inside. He yelled at them to come down. (I get a little fuzzy here…not sure if the contractor was there at the time or showed up later) They took their sweet time getting off the roof. A fourth of our roof was already ripped off by that point. Thank GOD Mike was home!!
They finally all came down and DH told them to go. The contractor refused to leave!! DH got really bad and told him off, and said get off my property. The guy STILL refused to go! Can you believe this??
Mike called the cops and they came and took him off our property. This guy has done a couple other roofing jobs in our area, so we assumed he was alright. But now I’m thinking he must have just gotten out of a mental institution!!
It’s looking like rain, so Mike went and bought some tarps ($300 worth!!) and is trying to get them on the roof himself. He’s having a hard time so hopefully the rain will hold off til my cousin’s husband gets home from work (around 4) to help him.
He called 2 lawyers and both of them said we have a case if we’d like to pursue it…

I’m thinking the answer is YES. We’re already in for $300…and I’m PRAYING we don’t get any damage from this. Mike also couldn’t go into work today (Was supposed to be there from 10 to 5) because he was taking care of the roof. So that’s more money lost right there. What a WEEK this is turning out to be!

Just my luck, the dentist will say I have a cavity this afternoon…(I’ve never had one in my life)

So do y’all think we should take to legal matters with this??

 

[Leger13]

Well, it's time for me to go home from work now. Hope everyone has a good afternoon and talk to you all later!

OMG Girl, yes get a lawyer! They are con artists and they probably get half their jobs by doing that and then the customer sees half their roof is gone and they negotiate a deal or something and still charge way too much. You need to put them out of business!!! Thank God Mike was home or they'd have had the entire roof off and started on new shingles and you'd have had a hell of a time with that mess. They cost you money for tarps, cost Mike income and not to mention the trespassing and whatever else they can come up with to charge them. They need to be stopped!

You sure haven't had the best week, you need to go to bed and sleep till Monday morning and try again! Let us know how you make out but definitely go with one of those lawyers! Good Luck Girl!

thanks! Mike actually called me a little bit ago and said we have an appointment with a lawyer tomorrow at 1:30. He's the one who handled my accident a couple years ago (when I hurt my back) when the lady had originally given me false insurance, etc.
He said we DEFINITELY have a case. He couldn't BELIEVE what this guy had done.

I'm gonna take a late lunch to go, so hopefully it won't run over an hour.

Well, headed to the dentist now. Hopefully that will go well.

Oh by the way, it's starting to POUR now. Mike said there is already some drops of water that came in the house!! But he managed to get back up there and finish covering it with my cousin's DH (he came home early from work for us!) If there's no heavy wind we should be okay. Please pray!

6500!!!

Oh that is great news you got an atty appt and he is all for the case, good! You deserve it and now, hopefully not, but you could have water damage because water already started raining in! Make sure you take some pictures of the tarps you have had to buy to cover the roof, I'm sure Mike still has the receipt and if you get any water in the house, take pics of that to with you. I'll keep you in my prayers!

Good Luck at the dentist, I need a cleaning one day soon as well, had some work done in FL so hoping I won't have any cavaties either!

When we were still in our clothes, Christina had gotten bombed with water balloons so she just said 'screw it' and jumped in the slip-n-slide and got SOAKED. Then she came to me and gave me a BIG ole hug!

Then when we were playing pin the tail on the donkey (yes, she made adults play) and Christina was blindfolded, they dumped a huge bucket of ice water on her. It was HILARIOUS! She had her swimsuit on by then, but said the water was VERY VERY cold!

I'm so SORE from running around and jumping/sliding in that big spacewalk thing. It had a slide, a basketball goal, punching bags,...the works!
Nathan kept fighting me and I have 4 bruises on my legs from him. LOL

Also we had bbq. mmmm

We all had a blast!

oh I forgot to say...when Mike showed up after he got off work, EVERYONE that was still there had 2 water balloons in our hands, and bombed him!!

That sounds like an awesome party.
With as hot as it gets here in LA it must have not only been fun but have been a blast. That's funny how you all bombed Mike, LOL!

 

[Disneymommom]

Ugh! The morning does not sound like fun but that outlet does!! What'd ya get???



So are you looking fwd to going back to traditional school schedule or do you prefer year round better?



Hey I MUST go to that outlet!! Where is it!? I'm thinking of taking a day trip up there some time soon. Oh and I saw your pictures of Smokey Mountain Knife Works. If I had known you were going there or what day we could have met you there. It's only a 2 or 3 hour drive from where we are.

OMG are you kidding me? I didn't realize how close you were! We had such fun there, other than me having this cough! Bryan loves the knife works, he watches the live show from there on late evening Tv, how exciting huh, lol? That would have been so great for you to meet us there. We spent three days in Pigeon Forge in a campground there. I'd have called you had I realized you could have come visit! Well whenever we pass through that area we normally take a few days there so next time I will definitely call you.

The Disney OUtlet is in the Tangier Outlets, not the Belz Outlets. There's a big billboard on the main drag there, I forget what Highway it is, but its the same road the Knifeworks are on and you'll see the sign a ways up the road. When you go in there you don't see it as we thought maybe it had closed but it was way in the back!! The double beach towel we got was awesome, so colorful and huge! I just remembered the tee shirts were cheap too and they had a ton so Bryan got me a Tinker Bell out, really colorful.

 

[Disneymommom]

Hey all,

UJ Here!!!


QM,
Sounds like you need a dinner at 50's Prime Time !!! WOOOO HOOOO

Hi UJ! I love that place. We took the kids there years ago and it was such fun! I haven't been there in a few years. I may have to try that again next trip!!! Thanks for reminding me about it!

Father's Day Gift

Ok, so I decided to help my daughters make a father's day gift.

We went to AC Moore and bought some 5" wood letters (D-A-D)...the kind that can stand up on their own. Then we are going to paint, modpodge, paper, and accessorize the letters. Inside each D will be a photo of one of the girls...I may try to make it a pouch so DH can change out the photos...

And yes, of course, I'll post a picture!

That sounds nice Marshay, good girl being the bigger person and doing Father's Day!!! I'm proud of you!

Will be waiting to see the picture!

By the way, I'm a hard core NJ Devils Fan!!!!!!

That's okay, I forgive you!

Yeah, the kind where they didn't have a remote ... or rather, they did...it was just called a different name -- children!

Yea really, kids make great remote controls, they can turn those old knobs on the TVs anytime, no push buttons back then!

 

[Disneymommom]

Seems like I am talking to myself here, lol, well it's not like I haven't done that before. I guess I'll check back later to see if we can get another crowd here tonight! It was great last night with so many people here!!! Party!
