This is exactly what I said to J when I called him last night. I know. I know. Shut up and quit whining. I didn't really understand that having a handyman here to do various projects meant having him take over the entire house. He is doing work in both bathrooms and the kitchen. So, all three spaces are a mess, plus he's taken over part of the basement.
Somewhere in my dense little brain, I thought he would work on each space individually, but that really doesn't make sense. While paint is drying in one place he works on the next place. Plus, he is messy and picky. The messiness bugs me, more than I thought it would, but it is my own fault. I knew what I was getting into when I hired him. But the picky I wasn't quite prepared for. Normally, I would find picky a good thing. But, we are in "get 'er done" mode. I don't care that a tiny space on the side of a cabinet needs a bit of wood filler. No one is going to see it.
Oh God, I'd be in full-on emotional breakdown mode. Except I already live with "messy and picky"---I live with a 2 year old and a 4 year old, remember? Hang in there. It will be done soon and this will all be over and we'll be at your party in May celebrating.

The funniest thing is that when J was home this last weekend, he noted how hard it would be to live in the house. He's glad he's not here through all of this. It made me feel better because it must be bad if he noticed.
