STILL working on the house.

Wow, home improvement is a long-term project. I would have liked to do one thing at a time but SO much needed to be done that I had to tackle it all. My goal for the summer is to finish organizing the kitchen, finish laying the flooring, and put all the baseboards up. I also need to finish a few little painting jobs (doors, closets, touch-ups) and am amazed at how much paint the closets are soaking up. I also need to finish putting up curtains and window treatments.

How overwhelmed do you feel reading all this? I should tell you how much I have already done and you would feel better!

Aidan is enjoying having a house though not enjoying the construction. We'll get there. The job is good and it's nice to work just the three nights a week.

Aidan will be starting the first grade in August. How time flies. I remember his birth like it was yesterday - really. I guess it doesn't help that I am constantly seeing other births so it is always brought to mind. I feel so lucky to be a mom to such a sweet little boy. He has his moments, but he really is sweet at heart.

Moving again

Ok, apartment life was not for me. We are moving again. My mom purchased a fixer-upper for me to live in until I can buy it from her. I am working frantically to get it ready to move in. I have been painting, scraping wallpaper, and generally testing things out. I will soon be learning how to do some simple plumbing (EVERY faucet leaks) and staining concrete.
