Apparently my children think so...well at least the youngest two seem to think so. Cory is especially bad about this because he is right here.
Now that I am, well we..his father and I...are in the process of attempting to do some remodeling of the trailer, he has a ton of things to say about it. Personally I think he is ticked off I am spending money on anything but him but so be it. Its my money! I was just nice enough to give him enough to pay a down payment and his first months rent to get him the heck out of my house, dont argue with me about anything else!
He wants to tell me that he thinks its stupid and wasting my money to put in new cabinets. Ummm...Im getting very inexpensive, unfinished base cabinets and keeping my wall cabinets. My sink cabinet is shot and if anyone knows mobile homes, you know that they are built with basically one long sheet on the long wall one on the bottom. I couldnt just cut part out for the sink base and fix that. If I attempted to just fix that with plywood inside and then strip and stain the doors and drawers...heck it would cost more or as much as it would to by these new ones since I want to go to a dark wood since the ones I have are white particle board!
He wants to tell me I should leave the cabinets be, do the walls and put cheap vinyl on the floors and get the exterminator in. Well...see...I am gonna do the walls and yeah...we will worry about the exterminator but that isnt the a number on on my list because when my whole family leaves I wont have as big a problem. I am not putting cheap vinyl when I found laminate reasonable. I am going to wait to carpet my living room until I want to...Im doing laminate in the hall, kitchen and family room. Tile in my two bathrooms. Eventually I will carpet the living room.
I have a vision but of course, I know I might not be able to have exactly what I want. Duh. He wants to dictate to me like Im a kid when he is the one who cant figure out the priorities of managing wants versus needs. I may splurge a bit but I do know how to make sure my needs are met first. I sure have kept his butt out of the weather for a long time!
I guess I am just venting because he had the nerve to say we would be living paycheck to paycheck again...lmao! Like we arent already and he isnt!
