Getting Nowhere Fast

Jim is traveling this week, which should leave plenty of time for me to work on the house. Or so it would seem. Jake's room and the upstairs hallway, stairwell, and the living room has been touched up from the repairs. All of this was done before Jim left with him painting the stairwell and upstairs hallway. So, why can't I get any further??? Seems that I start doing something, get called away and never get back to the task at hand. My parents are visiting this weekend, so I at least have to have a path made. I will be glad when all of this is over, if it ever is. I am to the point now, that if something is in my way and I don't know what it is or can't find a place to put it, it goes in the garbage. Hope nobody is missing anything important. I suppose if it was important, they wouldn't leave it lying around, would they? NO, not my husband and kids. They alway put away their things. Wonder whose leaving all this stuff around?

WOW!! Busy Life Lately

As everyone knows, we have been remodeling/restoring our house (still). FINALLY, the plasterer is finished. Now the real work begins. New paint, lights, moldings, doors, etc..... Off to Lowe's this morning for supplies and then I put on my paint clothes which I will probably be wearing for the next month or so.

Had a great 4th of July weekend. We went to Ft. Pierce and drove my in-laws crazy again for the weekend (except for Jenny, she had to work). Kate and Sara picked on Jim all weekend. It was fun watching siblings in action, especially when they stole his snuggly blankie and held it for ransom. For those who don't know, Jim has a special blankie he travels with and wraps up in when he is at home watching TV. His sisters took it from him and then took pictures of it in different places like the Travelocity garden gnome. They finally gave it back as he was packing the Suburban to come home.

Came home Sunday and crashed. Jim didn't work Monday morning so we slept in. Got up around 10:30 and was informed that Jon had been there and had b'fast with Jenny earlier that morning. It's wonderful having grown children. They just come and go, and we sleep through it.

Enough for now...Lowe's is waiting. The pic is Karaoke on the 4th. A wonderful trio!!!
