Sum it up as emotional roller coaster!

Last week was so full emotion. I felt like I was riding this long and unhappy roller coaster. First it started when the contractors brought 100 load of fill into my back yard. I asked them if the septic was supposed to be 90 feet from my well. They looked at me like "OMG your a woman you know nothing!” then reply “It’s a drilled well it’s only 75 feet. Funny thing I measured and it was only 40 feet away from my fresh water. Bastards!!

Well after they mess up my front yard and filled the hell out of my back yard. I was starting to lose a bit of faith about these guys. Then I saw them on the side of my land (thank god I have an acre). I sent out Marc to ask what the hell they were doing on the only nice lawn we own. Oh yes he was home for once! I notice he wasn't coming in and pointing to trees ect and I knew I better find out what's going on cause Marc would let them plow the whole yard if it means he doesn't have to move the lawn with a freaken ride on. For the first three years we lived here I did the lawn! Anyways getting off track. I asked Marc what the hell was going on in front of these freaken men. I was informed that the septic is to close to the well and they had to move over 100 loads of fill to the other side of my lot!!!!! They have to cut down 4 of my beautiful pine trees. I freaked out. I told them I have no yard left and they should of listen to me at first because I talk to the one that approves the septic tanks ect. With that they promised to fix the mess they made. This didn't make me happy but I went into the house to find the bit of sanity that I had left.

That night we had an awful rain storm and Melanie told me that her carpet in her room was soaked. Well I was livid! We moved most of her stuff out of her room then went to work the next morning just plain out tired. On my lunch hour went to the doc and priced carpet. Went to home that night after work and moved the rest out of her room and pulled the carpet out a bit it stunk to high heaven.

Next day bought a carpet did a quick paint job on her room. She was happy because she wanted to change her room anyways and it really looks nice and clean now. But the very next morning after we finished the room she woke me up at 7:15 am to a soak carpet again. So I was on the phone getting the boss out here at 7:25 am after moving stuff away from the wall and lifting her new carpet. The boss came over stress out cause he couldn't believe the mess outside he was yelling at his worker.

Danny is the boss's name he was only here once when they were working and I was told he was stressed out. Well in my book he should be here watching all the mistakes his workers make. So I told him how I'm not pleased with all that has happened and he promised me my front and back yard will look better than before. Well it better be because I’m the one that signs their check! So they haven't worked on my septic for about 4 days now. I'm really getting tired of this.

Then that same night that I talk to Danny. Jamie and Melanie got into a horrible fight. Had to deal with that and I was in the middle but I was glad I was here to stop the yelling ect had to put my foot down with Jamie. So Melanie was in such a depressed and confused mode for a few days. But that is over and that part is starting to work it's self out as we speak. To be young and in love!!!

Then Friday went to work and told my mother about the happening from the night before and she just turned into this person that wanted to lecture me about stuff. Let's just say I was so upset that the tears fell as I worked away! She came at me three times and I told her to back off I can't take much more! I've been through to much in the last three years! I'm tired of feeling guilty about my life when I look through my mother's eyes. I never have felt that I measured up and told her so! I didn't need to be told what I should and shouldn't do with every aspect of my life. She's never been through it so back off.

Today I met a friend and she was telling me about these contractors that were fixing a city street in Sackville it's 15 min away from my house. That they tore up the road made a mess and hit all the pipes and lines and screwed up the whole job and had to do it over again. That they lost a lot of money on that job. The workers didn't care ect. Well I asked her who the contractor was and she said "Don't worry it's not your guys" So I asked her the name and it's the same company!!!!!! She thought I had the other company that I was looking into! Well the roller coaster started again. urgggggggg on to the new week with a sick feeling but trying to look on the bright side some how!

Don't let anyone touch your yard unless you've seen some of the jobs the did or your yard will look like this! Picture below!! I have to laugh! More pic's to come this is only a few Melanie and I took.

Is there nothing you can do? To have a mess like that is just bull sh.........t Where does the government get off telling you you have to make a mess like that for a system that don't even work. They just freeze up in the winter.
