I confess that yesterday afternoon I had a major anger/frustration outburst. It was over my family. The contrast between the amount my husband's family vs. mine will/has help(ed) us with our moving tasks is quite notable. I'm not including my father. I totally understand he needs more help than can give, but more my sister and brother. In the end, I think my brother felt a bit guilty, so finally offered some amount of help. My sister probably does, too, but her husband is the world's biggest ARSE and he basically rules her. Anyway, that is one of the many reasons we are moving to Czech Republic. We need family support, but of course also want to give it.

The roofers who need to fix our roof are yet to come. I have a feeling that we will struggle to ever get them here. It's so frustrating! We can't exactly put our house on the market with a roof problem. Now ever time it rains a lot we're going to fear that more ceiling damage will happen. It also sucks that on a questionnaire we filled out for the realtor, we have to not only say that we've had roof damage, but that it is only just fixed, that is IF it gets fixed in the near future. This kind of thing lowers the amount of money potential buyers want to offer. It's basically a middle finger from the lousy homeowner's association who take all of the money from association fees, but hire the lousiest workers and probably pocket some of the rest.

We want out of our house sooooooooo bad because of this! Where we're going we'll be renting for a while, so any issue will be the landlady/owner's problem. When we finally buy a house again, we will have the right to make 100% of the decisions on who we hire to do what.
