Roller coaster

Each day brings a new set of challenges - but in our situation, it feels like the roller coaster goes much higher and lower.

My parents are still waiting on their FEMA trailer. They've sent several people out (and, on holidays) to measure, re-measure, survey - lather, rinse, repeat. The money that the government is spending on this shit is mind-blowing.

We are still "2 weeks" out... Floor guy started yesterday, and made no secret of the completely shitty job the original guy did when we built the house. It is no wonder why he stopped responding to when I was questioning his work and him fixing it. The floors will go through the end of the week, minimal. Once the floors are done, we can technically start moving in as long as we don't mind guys still coming in and out to complete work. We will evaluate what needs to be done, but I am pretty certain we will start unpacking and arranging for our furniture to arrive. My little family is dying to be home.

Once we move home, we can start to evaluate the yard. It is a MESS. We keep saying that we can't wait to be able to enjoy our patio again, but now that the neighbors have a FEMA trailer in their backyard (looking right into our back yard!), it may not be quite as we remember for a while... lol

I feel like once everything is done, I will need to take several weeks off just to get everything back in order. The funny thing is...that is probably so false. Our possessions were pretty much cut in half or more. There is not much to move back in. #minimalistlife  Either way, I am excited to be home soon...
