We ended up not going to the cabin this weekend…

After the plumber left on Wednesday I noticed that the floor at the bottom of the stairs had been affected by the water quite a bit. The way that the rooms are placed means that if there was water there… the was water under the flooring of the computer room. However, since the floor is raised, then we couldn’t actually check. So we called our insurance and check what could be done on Thursday. The claim was filed and the claims officer called me about an hour later and then made an appt to come by on Friday morning. He arrived at about 10am and checked the damages and said that the flooring at the bottom of the stairs needs to be replaced and then when I voiced my concern about the humdity in the walls he said that he would have someone check on that too…

So a few hours later a guy calls me to come check the humidity in the walls, he said that he could come by that evening after supper (who drives an hour away to check the humidity in the wall on a friday night!?) anyway, he came by and found a lot more than I would have liked and said that his crew would be by the next day… at about 1pm they got here and did their work… making a hole in the computer room closet and in a few walls with big fans hooked up and a humidifier to catch the moisture in the air…  (I am getting really annoyed at the noise of the fans by now…)

Anyway… after 3 hours of work they left and will be by on Tuesday to get the equipment… and then of course it will be up to the next guy hired to fix the mess they made and the flooring etc…

So, with that happening on Saturday we decided to stay home with the boys and to make it up to Xavier I made cheeseburgers on the BBQ in the rain and went to the “Cantine” and got some fries… then the optometrist called on Sat also saying that the pieces for my glasses were in so we decided to go to the “big mall” on make a day of it on Sunday… we walked and shopped and looked for something for Xavier to buy with the 5$ my mom gave him in a birthday card…

So, my glasses are fixed, I saw a friend that I lost touch with a long time ago and was wanting to get back in touch with…  the boys were GREAT at the mall making it a really fun day and on the way home we decided to go the restaurant for an early birthday supper… So we went to the La Cage aux Sports and the boys again were great and Xavier got a brownie with a candle and a song and he looked so proud!!

So today is his birthday and we are having fun… This morning he helped me bake his carrot cake and we gave him the marble run and it is a hit!  Other presents will come out later, maybe a swim in the pool and tonight we are making homemade pizza DIY style and then eating carrot cake…

I can’t believe that 5 years ago today I was in labour for the first time… fighting the doctors and refusing a “necessary” C/S and in a few hours I was about to become a mom for the very first time, nurse for the first time and I was about to change my way of life completely…
