I Heart Remodeling... NOT!

This summer was probably THE craziest summer I have ever had. Usually I get out of my school year, and for the whole summer I either hang with friends, relax, or go on vacation; what you usually should do. This summer, however, I had two jobs, all of that, PLUS practically our whole house was being remodeled!
If you have ever had remodeling done inside your house at any point in your life, you know what I am talking about. The torn up floors or walls and all the plastic stuff that you have to climb over just to get to where you usually take a shower, along with all the workers who sometimes stay late into the days so they can annoy you while your trying to relax at your own home. Sounds fun, right? Well try having this all happen ten times worse, in the SUMMER. The time that I am suppose to be relaxing and having fun in, I have to deal with these workers 8 hours of the day instead of just those couple hours, if needed, after getting home from school.
It wasn't as bad as I am making it seem, I mean I wasn't spending all my time in doors the whole summer so I didn't see them that much, but it was the times where I was home and I DID see them. Some of the days I had to stay locked in my basement so I would be "out of the way" as my mom would put it. Try doing that mom! See how you like it! Ugh, it was so annoying. Not only that, but the days that they weren't scheduled to come in and, surprise, surprise, they come in for "a little extra work to get it finished early" REALLY made me mad.
I remember this one particular day, it was a perfect summer day. The weather was sunny and a perfect eighty degrees and the workers weren't going to come in because they didn't have the right carpet yet. I didn't have to go into work and I wasn't suppose to babysit till the following day, so I decided to take this perfect day as an opportunity for myself to relax. I woke up around eleven, got into my bathing suit, and went out to my porch, getting ready to do nothing but lay all day. Can you guess what happened to my perfect day? Yep, I hear a car pull into my drive way, and I look up to see five men in working gear walk through my garage like it was theirs. I just sat there, shocked. No warnings from my parents, and DEFINITELY no warnings from the workers. It was so embarrassing, especially since I was like half naked! That day was, from then on, ruined.
Even though the workers made the summer just a little hard to deal with, I got through it okay. My house looks brand new from the inside, and I love it! From really thinking about it, I understand why my parents had all this done in the summer. Even though I am home more then, in the school year it would have been more hectic to deal with. Especially when my extracurricular things pick up, it all would have really been a hassle. No matter what, remodeling is a pain. I am so glad it is over!
