WHEN will supplies be delivered?
WHEN will trash trailer arrive?
How LONG will trash trailer live here?
When do you want payment?
Leftover supplies are leaving or do we need to deal with?

BE CLEAR!
We have now dealt with 2 companies at 2 homes for roofing/siding.

One was adequate for communication, one was terrible, neither was great.

FYI, for companies: Do not assume your customer knows your SOP. We do NOT. We do not have roof replacement regularly. Be VERY basic in your timeline.
😱😂🤣😂 No, I don't need to name. You know.
ROFL When brands get it wrong, then put out a half-hearted 'we said X, but you should have known we meant Y' after customers call them out?
My aunt's 4 kids took the test at their Gma's insistance. They laughed at our family dinner. NONE of them were even close to matching up. Genetics are weird, but... kids with same parents should not be so VERY different that they seem to be from different families.

23 and Throw a Dart at a Board
My people are very Midwest, S's are Southern MO. My dad did serve in Japan, but...I'm super pale, not Asian, my mom's next-gen-twin. S is very Viking, blond, light blue eyes. But, according to 23aM, Son1 is some-percent Asian. Okay, cash-grab! lol
According to the 23andme MIL insisted Son1 take LOL, there IS some Japanese in him. ROFL ZERO idea where that came from, but okay! Explains some of my food preferences? lol
Many years ago, I made lasagna. FIL asked if there was cottage cheese. I cringed, 'NO way. My ancestors would ROLL' MIL 'you have Italian DNA?' 'nah, but yeah' Dad 'I don't like Ricotta' 'okay, there's salad and bread...and you've eaten my lasagna before with zero complaint, so...'
My kids laugh when I say 'my ancestors are rolling' because there's allegedly 0% Italian in our tree. But I grew up in STL, shopping/eating on The Hill. lol Absorbed culture?
Today's another 'schedules are ALL over the place' day, went to grate more Parm for the leftover soup. Hit my thumb adjacent to yesterday's cut. DAFUQ? I KNOW how to Fn grate cheese!!!!!!!!! argh!
Yesterday was a crazy day for most of my at-home family. I made Zuppa Tuscana, so everyone could have a good meal at the time that worked for them. Pre-grated the Parm. NOWHERE NEAR MY FIRST TIME. Somehow cut my thumb. sigh
He lies like his last name is Trump.
He easily caught her with one arm, dropped his bag, wrapped the 2nd arm. 5m later the rest of us got to hug him...around her. lol We got his gear, she let go when the car was loaded.

Now she confides in him (and her new sis). I trust them to guide her true, only tell me if I really need to know.
Saw a cute YT vid on 'big age gap between kids'. Now I'm remembering 18y Son1 coming home from 2w Work Camp trip. We all missed him, everybody went to pick up. Van door opened, 10y Miss Thang took off at a sprint and JUMPED at him, Koala-style. She was lucky big bro was strong.
haha It's all in the phrasing. 😉
He's an organizer and a leader! Great qualities. lol

this strange feeling you're experiencing this morning is optimism. hang on to it, we've got a long road ahead to the midterms next year, this is what will get you there.
A bro needed space to work on a vehicle...he used our garage and S's tools (true love lol). Other bro needed a dog crate, Son1 got the crate out of our shed. I LOVE that Son1 chose so well that we have an expanded family!
BD needed car help, showed up here 'something's wrong, he's at work, my dad's out of town' Son1 'go to my dad' ... 'already here'. Made S's weekend 'she knew she could count on me!'

Son1 told Diva 'You have 2 MORE brothers now, God help anyone tries to hurt you', BD's bros both yup-nodded.
TRULY Blended Family for the WIN! Son1 married into an amazing family and WE get to benefit.

Princess is BLESSED!!!!!!!!!!! She has 1 ginormous family. We all adore her AND we all care for each other.

My kids could call BD's family for help and vice versa.
BD 'talked with Mom, we're likely coming to yours on TDay, you can, of course, say no, but...would you mind if we bring my gma?'

'Not at all, LOVE for GmaK to join!'

'didn't want to overstep, it's okay, I'll ask her'

'DO let her know we would LOVE it...you know what, no, I'll text her myself'.

We regularly say 'Thank God Son1 chose well!' BD is amazing and her family rocks.
