Slowly more progress on the house and an update on Scott

Yesterday me, Paul, Scott, Peg, Kris, Aria and Ben all met a Home Depot with our contractor to pick out cabinets, counter tops and flooring.  We were successful on picking out the cabinet look.  Wish we were smart enough to take a picture of the one that we liked.  Talking to the guy at Home Depot told us that Pergo had a warehouse fire and they are 4-6 weeks out on the floor. UGH!!!  Scott was great on keeping Aria entertained :) After there we had to hurry and take Scott to therapy and Dr. He is not getting better so they want him to go see a neuropsychologist  (don't know how to spell this early) so tomorrow we get to go see our family Dr and get an evaluation I know that it will be good for Scott and all of us (maybe I can get some sleep) I worry so much about Scott with his memory not getting better and his pain is just getting worse on his neck and back.  Today after Scott's Dr appointment I am going to talk to the principal and counselor about Scott to see what our options are.  I know Scott has a huge 40 hour project due that was assigned at the first of the year and he can't remember anything about it.  I hate being so frustrated and not being able to do anything to make my son feel better.
Back to the house we had an AWESOME plumber who finished and now we have everything done on our end that will not get in the way of the contractors.  John the building inspector came over yesterday and was furious with the way that Jeff (Complete Restoration) had done the insulation.   He had to leave early to go to another job (surprise surprise) John made him a huge list on what to fix because he was not going to pass off the insulation.  Tomorrow we are supposed to get the Stucco guys over here.  I find amusing because we have not picked out any colors.  Friday Carpet One is coming over to take measurements again and to do the flooring.  I guess they are doing all out floors except for the bathroom and that is getting tiled.  I think that Paul will end up doing that because of how crappy the Contractors have been.

Paul is telling me that I am being to hard on the contractors but I disagree because we have not seen them for a month.  I told Dan the contractor over us that when they insulate that I wanted the insulation to match the rooms.  Dan started telling me that it only comes in pink and yellow.  I told him that I didn't care I wanted everything to match.  He said that we weren't going to see it my response was that my bra and underwear have to match and no one sees them but I know.  He was getting so frustrated that he was asking people in the office if their were different insulation we could use or if they could color it.  Paul started laughing so hard that Dan finally realized we were teasing him. 

I am concerned that we have not heard from the insurance adjuster or the rental people about extending our contract here at the rental.  I am going to call Tip today after Scott's appointment and see what he says and also ask about if we can get some of this furniture removed so we can start replacing.  It is costing the insurance $1957.61 a month just for the rental that is more then rent!!!! We don't even use half of it, so I am hoping if we get rid of stuff they will extend our contract until the end of June.  Dad talked to Tip last week and my understanding is that we have nothing to worry about.  It would make me feel better if I knew for sure or had it in writing.
I love the house we are in but I can't wait to get back to my neighborhood!!!!!!  My neighbor Jamie gave me a bunch of tomatoes and other plants so I guess I need to finish tilling so I can get them planted. So excited to do that just to get my hands all dirty and in the soil.  I guess I have wrote enough and will get back to laundry and cleaning before people start waking up.  My neighbor just dropped of his son Harley so it won't be too much longer before I lose the quiet house.  Thanks for listening to me, love you guys tons!!!!!

P.S.
When it comes time for Christmas letters can people just read the blog so we don't have to rewrite everything again
