Waylayed Again

Instead of celebrating Independence Day Jeff and I are sitting at home.  We're not in the mood to do anything.  We're just about at our wits end dealing with problems that others put upon us.  We were supposed to have a quote from the carpenter on Monday.  He cancelled a meeting we had scheduled Friday and said we'd have the quote on Sunday.  It's Monday.  We're still waiting.  Why can't anyone be true to their word anymore? 

We really need to move.  Our landlords have decided to list the house for sale and we had our first showing yesterday.  The buyer wanted a showing from 8 am until noon.  A four hour window--on a holiday weekend.  After going back and forth with the appointment setting company (and them never getting back to us to confirm) Jeff hounded them by phone a few times to find out they scheduled it for 10:30 am.  Well, what would have happened if Jeff didn't call them to see what was going on with the house we are still living in?  I know--3 people would have come through the house without our knowledge while we were sleeping in.  Good think Jeff called them.  Apparently they cannot do the job they are paid to do.  If you ever need a service like that do not use Showings.com

Having showings and the house listed is a huge intrusion on our privacy, and it's stressful.  We're doing the best we can by keeping the house looking really great for potentil buyers.  We have to completely alter the way we live right now, and we're paying a lot of money to live here.
