Tick tock....

Where has the time gone? Weeks just disappear on me at the moment, probably because I am so busy at school and then on the weekend we have a million things to do with the children that we never just laze around and realise what day of the week it is.
This week I was dumb. Just plain dumb. There was a drain layer next door fixing the neighbours sewer pipes (well not really, he was flushing the liquifaction sand out of them so he could see how broken they were) and he said he would come and do ours "the day after tomorrow." I let myself get super excited about having a flushing toilet and all that goes along with it. Now it is several days after "the day after tomorrow" and we haven't seen hide nor hair of him. There are a pile of things that could potentially drive me mad about waiting for the house to be bulldozed/rebuilt but I don't let myself think about them much...
1) it is always damp in the house because of the cracks everywhere (actual access to the outside of the house kind of cracks) and it makes me cough couch cough all night every night.
2) the carpet is trashed (extra vacuuming due to all the mess has made me SUCK UP most of the pile in the living room) but there is no point in putting down new carpet...
3) i want to patch and repaint!
4) i want to open windows, and use the front door and the french doors that open onto the deck
5) the lino flooring in the kitchen and bathroom is lifting off (and is bubbled) because the floorboards were wet for so long that the glue sort of gave up - it needs replacing!
6) it is high time to have the bathroom redone but... again there is no point
7) the contents that were destroyed need replacing but again, why buy furniture when we need to rebuild anyway?
Okay so now that is out of my system I'll go back to trying to ignore it all. I am very thankful that Dom has done every single camp-toilet-emptying........ he deserves a medal.
