Wacky Wednesday

Here was my day.........


Wake up at 7:15 to get the bathroom ready for the floor install. Spend the morning cleaning the yard and patio (man there was a lot of crap). Bathe Stella and Tyson. Spend 2 hours at the pool with the girls and our neighbors, a fabulous break. Head out to Target to get some MORE stuff for our bathroom. Come home to clean the counters in the bathroom (which took 3 full cleanings), cabinets and sinks....demolition is messy. Help my poor hubby remove our old nasty faucets in prep for the new ones (yay). Try to whip something up for dinner at 8:00pm...."wow, is it that late already?" I am tired, but Matthew is still up there fighting the faucet, I hope he wins. And we all know being a mom doesn't stop because I want to finish the bathroom before Sat. The interruptions were constant, with band-aid applications, lunch, snacks, diaper changes.... "what, Emma pooped through her diaper?"

But we are indeed making progress. After the girls went to bed, we worked till 10:00. Cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning. Scraping the grout off of the tub and the cabinets and the grime off the sinks (where the old faucets were). It is starting to look done, and to end the evening we used our new shower for the first time....yeah! Good news: the guy installing the floors charged half of what we thought it would be. Bad news: the shutters for the window don't fit over the new tile......welcome to home improvement!

I will soon post the before and after pictures. First I have to paint the cabinets, and the walls and remove some more hideous wallpaper......ugh.
