Today is Friday and that means that its contractor day for us. Just about everything in the house has to be fixed and it all started at 8. I had a guy sitting out there since 7:15 but since we had just gotten up, we didn't want to let him in. You know, the whole bathing thing, I don't like strangers in the house while I'm getting ready.
So because it wasn't our normal day we were rushed and I totally forgot to brush the kids teeth. What a horrible mom I am. I guess a day every once in a while isn't bad. So I still didn't get the house cleaned last night and we were up until midnight dealing with other house issues and stuff. So after I post a a few blogs to a few sites that I will get cracking on that.
With everything that has been has been going on with family stuff that the house has been lacking too. Well, now that's changed and I'm back in action.
I am starting to like the house again. Obviously the sheer size of it is says WOW. I really don't understand how 2 people can live in a house this big. I mean the amount of dust that accumulates, the rooms that don't get used, the yard with the tiny amount of grass. Maybe it would feel like home if we painted it on the inside. It's all just white with just a few pictures on the walls. I have to say that the size of the garage rocks, kind of. Part of the garage could either be turned into a sixth room (along with the loft to make a seventh), or that part could be made into a third stall. Right now it's fine being my storage unit. Except for the fact that since I brought all the stuff from storage, I haven't actually made room for the cars. Plus with the bikes and trailers, not really room for the cars.
This weekend we are going to spend it outside. We are going to the parks, bike riding, with and without the kids, playing in the back yard, grilling. Basically anything we can just to have fun. We are trying to sell a bunch of stuff on Craiglist but that has taken the back burner and I'm assuming it's not going to sell. What's funny though, is that we decided that we are going to keep our patio set we bought almost 2 years ago and now people are wanting to buy it. Of course they don't want to pay what it's worth but their loss.
"The Hubby" did find some new biking trails around our house. Because of that we are having one of our girls watch the kids on Sunday after church so we can spend the afternoon riding them and trying to figure our where we can bike to with the kids.
"The Hubby" has been offered a new job and will probably take it BUT at his current job, just about everyone quit. They want him to stay and they know he wants to leave so I guess we'll see how it goes. The current job is okay with things except for the fact they don't have nearly enough people to do all the jobs and so people get moved around and then put back other projects. Basically its a huge mess and at this rate nothing is really getting done.
Allrighty then. I should get going because now the contractors need fun information from me so they can do their jobs.
