I finally crashed after 6 am and slept for two hours. I then woke up with all the looming deadlines on my mind. I finished the projects and then headed to the post office and UPS. My dear Taylor has a birthday on Monday. I sent her TWO packages. I can't say WHAT it is, since she read my blog. Okay...Taylor I am sending you the DARK Chocolate M&M's that you and Jamie love so much. So not tempting to me...
Then I headed to the pool to meet up with some friends and our boys swam and played for about three hours. I just got home and am really "feeling" the lack of sleep. Ty sent me to bed...and you know- I'm blogging instead.
Tonight, Ty and I are going to get my boxes ready for my trip (one week) to California. I have so much WORK to do- and lucky me- my family always offers to help me. We will have a "date night" tonight. We try to go to dinner or something once a week to reconnect, talk and nurture our marriage. Since the girls are gone this weekend, the boys will come with us. So it's more like FAMILY DATE night. Hey, it works for me.
McKay gets home today from a week at Oakcrest girls camp. Wow, I'm missed my girl. She then will head to spend the weekend away at her dad's. My girls are SO EXCITED for the Stephanie Meyer book that is OUT tomorrow. I admit, I did not preorder my copy, but I will buy the book tomorrow. So love Twilight and the series...I read The Host but it didn't capture me like the other books did. I love to read, but I get so into them that I can't STOP reading. Right now, I have to be productive. Too much on my plate.
Well, we came home this week and I haven't heard from my contractor all week. I am thinking now, that it looks like I will have to hire people to come and finish the work up. I figure I could have it all done and completed in a week if I just hired contractors to come in. This has really stressed me out, and I'm trying to be positive about all the issues we have been through. Ty just wants our house done and our home back together. Thankfully, we did not pay our final payment and so it's really not that big of a deal to hire out subcontractors to come and finish it all up. So on a positive note- I'm so okay with everything and how the experience has been for me. I have now gained over 20 lbs back, and have regressed in my weight loss efforts- but I'm okay with this too. My husband and children love me... and I did the best I could in the situation. I now understand, why everyone warned me that kitchen remodels can add inches to your waist. HA!!!! I didn't want to blog about it... but I am. Accountability is a good thing for me.
I mailed out FOUR prizes today. Thanks for all the comments and support. I am taking a nap and then will post some projects later.
