blog dodger

Man, the blog sure does suffer when life gets turned upside down, huh? We have spent the last 6 days or so deep in home improvement projects, and when I say we, I mean lovely hubby and his fantastic father who came to help. I have been on nonstop kid-watch, which isn't all that different than normal, except that I had to work overtime since my usual co-worker was otherwise occupied. I did, however, get a couple of opportunities to contribute a bit to the effort during nap times and after the kids were tucked in each night. Mostly my measly contributions involved clean-up type activities, but I did get the pleasure of rolling that Chai Latte crap off my kitchen walls, replacing it with a cool, calm Mountain Haze. The list has seen its fair share of additions, check marks and revisions in this past week, and much to lovely hubby's delight, I merged several of the ongoing lists into one Master List today, organized by room and including every small detail that I could think of that needs to be done until we can officially declare the downstairs level of our tiny home FINISHED. Oh, how I love that word.

And, of course, I stink at doing the whole pictures en masse thing on here (or I'm too lazy...), but thankfully, lovely hubby excels at this very task. So, if you have any interest in following along in the house saga, you can head over to his post that documents where the project stood as of Monday night. They did accomplish a whole lot more on Tuesday, but we're in somewhat of a work slow-down now that my two-man crew needed to return to regular life today. That probably means many more working-til-midnight kind of nights for the big guy and me, and even more time on weekends will need to be devoted to these jobs. My deadline for hubby (yeah, I know I sound like a task-master...) is Red's birthday party in 24 days. Totally doable. Hopefully.

Still peeling bits of Mountain Haze off my hands,
