Dinner is Cancelled

The floor people came on Friday, put in the sub-floor and told me they would be back on Saturday to finish the install. They show up on Saturday around 10:30 am and ask if I got the message. Nope. No message delivered here. Well, apparently I picked out the newest and toughest floor that Armstrong offers and the sales girl who placed our order neglected to order the correct adhesive for the floor (she was unaware there was a special adhesive), so they told me they can not finish the job until next week. They only came to the house because they left their tools here, otherwise I guess I would have been waiting all day for that message.  UGH!! They were very nice and offered to move the appliances back into the kitchen, but I told them I have been without a kitchen for over a month, what is a few more days? So now I am home, waiting again, for the floor guys to show up. On the bright side, the sales lady felt so bad about her mistake that she bumped another carpeting appointment and the carpet guys are scheduled to come out tomorrow and stretch the upstairs carpet where it is raised and ridging. (The guys who install kitchens do not do carpets, so we needed two appointments.) It looks like maybe Thursday everything will be done...fingers crossed but not holding my breath. Hopefully my house will finally get back to some sort of order this weekend, but that is a big maybe, depending on Art's back.  On Sunday it was spasming and tightening up, so Monday we went to the Chiropractor and he has been taking his muscle relaxers and pain killers, but he has gotten no relief. So we called the back doctor and he is on stronger pain meds and going to have an MRI done either Thursday or Friday.  Hopefully it will not be anything serious and a few more days rest will do the trick.

After all the downer news, I will end this post with the latest (and cutest) picture of AJ. All went well at the appointment last Friday, he is now measuring 9 1/2 inches long and weighing in at 1 pound!
