Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

The Oh Crap Roundup

June 21, 2022

Oh yeah, things are heating up around here. And I don’t just mean the weather although that’s going to get bad before it gets better. So, here’s what’s on tap this week.

Kid Bathroom Needs A Reno – And I can’t get anyone to come out and look at it to give me an estimate on cost, time, etc. I called one guy and he wanted to come out on a day I wasn’t available. He said it was fine but hasn’t called me since. That was almost two weeks ago. I emailed another company and they called back but didn’t leave a message. If it hadn’t been for my sleuthing I wouldn’t have known it was them. I need to call back because they haven’t. Third time’s a charm – there is another place in town that I’m going to call and maybe…just maybe…I’ll get them out here. Last year I contacted another contractor 4 times and never heard a word. And people from the city 40 miles down the road think we’re so far away we might as well be living on Mars. UGH.

Roof Leak – We have a small roof leak over the laundry room. Called the roofers who did our work back in 2020 two weeks ago – haven’t heard from them since.

Wasps – Wasps keep getting into the house and I finally figured out where the nest probably is so I need to call our bug guy back out for that. Which leads to…

The Jungle – Yeah, we cleaned up our side of the fence last year and it’s back. Mostly because our neighbor isn’t cleaning it up on his side. So, I need to have that done. Oh, and the jungle is the same side of the house the wasps are on. Dandy.

New Air Conditioner – Already needs a tune up. Earlier this year there was a glitch with the heater and the tech adjusted the blower limits…way down. So now our ac is running all.the.time and it’s not really cooling off inside either. I called today and they’ll be out on Friday because we live on Mars.

Dental Work – I need to call and get the cost for my fillings that have to get done next week. I also need to call the insurance to make sure they’ll pay what the dentist thinks they will so there won’t be any surprises. What I need to do is find a dentist with better rates and great service. I won’t even talk about the partials I need that won’t be covered with my current dentist so it’s imperative I find someone who will take care of us and our wallet.

Internet – Paying a fortune for really crappy internet. I was thinking of going to internet only as we have a streaming tv, but not sure we’ll be able to get the channels we want without having to pay for those either. So, we’ll see how that plays out.

And all of that is on top of worries about my kids, state of the world, etc. CALGON TAKE ME AWAY! To Mars.
