So much for making good progress on our laminate floor project. Tonight as we were working, we decided we had made some errors in putting together the first rows, so....we took it all apart. We're now where we were Sunday morning. The tension was palpable and for a few moments I thought Hubby might lose it. But, it passed and we started singing "If I Had A Hammer" only changing the words to fit our circumstances. The girls looked at us like we were crazy (and maybe that's the secret to doing home improvement projects together...don't take it too seriously). But with the song, and some laughter the tense moments passed and we are still speaking to each other.
Hubby spent an hour on the phone with our wireless provider trying to get a $260 charge removed. Someone ordered a phone on our account and had it delivered to Indiana. We've been working this problem for about 2 months. We were told, yet again, that it would all be taken care of, but somehow it keeps reappearing on our phone bill.
I'm happy for the rain we've been getting every night the past week. Our lawn is green (even if most of it is weeds) and my rose bushes are healthy.
I can't believe it's already July. My summer is flying by. It won't be long before we're taking the Singer up to Belmont Abbey. I'm reading a book about mother-daughter relationships and it addresses the fact that our society holds fast to the myth of perfect mother love. And that this is detremental to both mothers and daughters. Somehow, mothers aren't suppose to have conflicting feelings towards their daughters. Well, I've got plenty of conflicting feelings towards my daughter, just as I have contradictory feelings towards my husband, my friends, my siblings, etc. Relationships, by nature, involve ups and downs, and as a relationship involves two flawed people, I figure having more positive feelings than negative is doing pretty darn good.
