Well here I sit at 1:45am waiting for Kevin to either call or arrive home. He decided earlier in the evening while Mike was napping in his recliner and I was taking a nap to sneak out the back door to go to a party. When I woke up at 11:30 Mike informed me that Kevin wasn't here. So we've called his cell several times. Mike actually spoke with him once and told him to get his butt home NOW. Well that was 2 hours ago. So now it's just a waiting game.
I had a LONG day of laying flooring. I went over the cottage a bit before 10am. I let Mike sleep but he came over soon after. We banged out the bedroom in about 4 hours then we started the kitchen. Well we are working backwards in the kitchen and bathroom so it's a lot longer process. So after another 4 hours we were only about 2/3rds done with the kitchen. I was super tired by then and starting to screw up a little so we made the decision to just call it a day.
It's looking very good and even though we aren't going as fast as I would like I'm happy with the progress. We should be able to finish it tomorrow. I'm guessing we have about 4-6 more hours of work. Kevin and Mike will still have all the trim to do so I'm not sure when we will be able to start showing the place. I'm guessing probably not till after Thanksgiving sometime. We still need the new window too. That's probably a weekend project all by itself.
My fingers are sooooo sore. I'm hoping they will feel somewhat better tomorrow or it will be a pretty miserable day. My wrist are also hurting from all the scooting around the floor. Pretty much everything is hurting tonight lol. We came back to the house around 6pm. I took a shower, ate a bit of dinner and then crashed for about 4 hours. I was just so exhausted. Then I had to wake up to the Kevin drama.
I know teenagers do this sort of thing. I remember the kind of teenager I was. But it still doesn't make it easier dealing with all this stuff. Especially while we have so much going on here. I'm feeling a bet resentful. I feel like Kevin does everything we ask with usually little complaint. I hate then he goes and does this sort of thing and we have to bring the hammer down on him. I just hope he gets home safe and gets home soon. I'm just getting too old for all this lol.
I know I haven't talked much about weight loss in the past few days. I'm doing ok with the food. Today was a low calorie day, I'm sure it's because I've just been working at the cottage so much I haven't had time to think about eating. I am sitting here now though pretty hungry. I think I'm going to go fix myself a nice cup of hot tea and have a pumpkin protein bar. I have a feeling I'm going to be up awhile yet anyway.
Till tomorrow...

I AM SO SORRY FOR YOU!!!
You really should be peacefully asleep! Thank you for the kind words today.
I want to learn to not eat MORE during crisis.
I hope the drama didn't continue much longer after you finished the post last night. Moreso, I hope you were able to get some rejuvenating rest.
Urgh, teenagers have no idea how (or even that) their actions affect other people. It's all about them, them, them.
I hope you got some rest shortly after you posted this!
My girl is fifteen years old. I am not sure how old Mike is...I know when I was 18 I really broke from my parents. I basically said (not in a disrespectful way) That since i was in the military, even though I loved them....that I was an adult and could make my own decisions...Then I didn't get paid for two months and ended up living off oranges and ramen. Cause after telling my mom that, no way I was going to ask for money lol.
In our house, if you want to do your own thing, then you have to move out and pay your own way. This isn't a threat, just a serious discussion. I hope you are able to work things out with him. I know what heartache can be caused when kids decide to 'do their own thing." Feel better.
