Hello :)

Hello all, I hope this blog finds you well. The last couple of days have not been that great. I feel the pressure of having to get a full time job mounting as we are starting to acquire about home loans as well as other things. I have seen some of the blogs that ya'll have posted and i have picked up on some neat tips when looking or buying for a house. Thanks Ladys! :) Another thing though is bothering me. Have you ever had a week were everything seems to go wrong? I have. :( Not with my family in particular, but with an old friend of mine. My husband and boys are great, but i just seem out of sorts with myfriend J. She is an attorney and works for the District Attorney's office in San Antonio, TX. She got married last year to E.--who is also an attorney. Well, they have a house that they wanted to have the floors done.
J. and E. are very, very cheap when it comes to things like upgrading for the home or car, but when it comes to clothes, jewelry, etc. they go way overboard. It's none of my business, but i say this to you so that you can see where i am coming from with this story. My good friend J. asked my husband to help them apply wood flooring in their entire home. Being the good friends we are we said yes. Well, this turned out to be a mess because we thought we were helping them and not doing it alone. My husband would go over to their house and basically did the preparation to apply wood floors and then came another time and applied it ALONE. During this process, my good friend J. and her husband E. were eating and/or working out. I felt so bad for my husband because we told them that in order to do this we would need their help. Well, she came out saying that she would pay my husband (he has his own construction/remodeling company). We said no and that it would be better if they hired someone to do the job because we are too busy. We thought we were just helping them, but it seems as if they wanted my husband to just do the job. My husband deals with alot of commercial business and is very busy. So, he barely had enough time to breathe between work and helping J. and her husband E. out with the wood flooring.
Well, J. got upset and told us that she was going to ask another friend's spouse to help out. My husband helped her with discount pricing for her floors (they saved $600), delivered her materials (free of charge in one of his work trucks---which saved them like $300 from the place they ordered it from), prepared all the floors in the house for the floors, and laid flooring in one room ALL BY HIMSELF...:)She did not even say thank you. All she said was that she was going to get someone else to finish it. I was so upset because i feel like she did not even appreciate the things we started off doing for them. I could care less if she got somebody else to do the job. This actually was better for us. Luis was getting kind of worn out having to go over her house after work during the week. I feel that she did not even care. She could have said, "Well, thanks guys for your time and help---we really appreciate it," but no. All i got was a lazy "well we will get somebody else to do it." Geez thanks J. :) Okay, sorry for the mess. Talk to ya'll later.
