Wondering why no posts in awhile. My house was ruined on July 18th by a roofer. Since this accident, (that could have been avoided with 15 minutes of effort and a 50 dollar tarp BEFORE the hour rain storm), here has what happened.

I’ve been living a hotel the last 3 months with my family, they’re putting my house back together at a snails pace, my daughter is not sleeping anymore, my son started school and is also not sleeping, I am not sleeping, my arms are killing me from all the extra work I have been doing both freelance and physically at the house to pay for all this junk, we had a bee hive in the house, I got a bill from the state for a sidewalk that was put in 2 years ago, I’m quickly going into debt for all the extra expenses I’ve been incurring, do you want some more? O.K. My car is falling apart and I not only had to buy new tires for it I need to get a tune up soon as it sounds like some kind of mammal slowly being killed, my aunt just died, Oh ya! my wife is having a baby in a month, they’re going to have to re-do the roof because the roofer did an awful job, so here we go again with that. My close friends the past 3 months have turned from old college friends into a trans-sexual cook who works in the dining room and a conceirge who saves my days with new soap for the kitchenette dishwasher and extra towels. We’ve been eating mac and cheese, hamburger helper and fast food for meals, (kind of a nightmare for the foodie personalities in myself and my wife). I have probably actually SEEN my wife maybe a total of 3 hours a week for the past 3 months. I’ve had to miss 2 concerts due to work or the house junk, (one being Slayer which is even more of a BURN to my self esteem,) I’ve been getting migraines more frequently, we missed the state fair, the Vikings suck as usual and I cannot believe I lost an entire summer due to 15 minutes of oversight and a 50 dollar tarp.

I’m just glad no one got hurt in the hub bub. It’s been a pain though.

This is my life as of 9/17/07
