I know I’ve been absolutely horrible at posting blogs lately. These past 2 ½ weeks have been awful and a REAL eye opener. So I’ve posted “Before and After” of the new carpet and the new linoleum. You thought I was done right? Well you’re wrong. In the process of laying the new floors we had to remove all the doors and baseboards (AND some of the door trims). So while the doors were off their hinges we needed to put a fresh new coat of paint on them. I never would have thought that we have 14 doors in our house AND 4 sets of bi-fold doors. Seriously? Our house is NOT that big at all. But as I began painting and finishing them, I realized they were never ending! Chris kept bringing more doors down to me. I have never done so much detail oriented, time consuming, back breaking, shoulder aching painting in my life- than the painting I’ve had to do in the last couple weeks JUST TO SELL MY HOUSE!!! Now I didn’t take pictures of the doors. I didn’t want to bore you with that. I did however snap a picture of Clay painting. He wanted to help so bad, so I bought him some water color paints so he could paint while I was painting. Simple pleasures for the simple minded, eh? He is so focused! Anyways, so after I finished painting all the doors. I had to fill in all the little dings in the walls and holes (from the staple gun-kudos to chris- he LOVES his staple gun) in the new baseboards with putty and wood filler. Now we get to sand them and paint them!! YAY! (that was obviously a sarcastic celebratory shout) Isn’t that so exciting? I am so done with all these little but tedious home improvement projects. My weeks are all meshing together. It’s all a blurr. Sometimes we’re so tired we can’t tell whether we’re coming or going...which way is up…I’ll be so happy when this is all over. I am hoping and praying that we can bust the rest of it out this weekend and be done with it. Whew! Then maybe I’ll have something other than sanding and painting to blog about! :D

  2. Oh you poor thing! You've been So busy! How's the house coming along now? Thanks for taking a break and coming to the baby blessing on Sunday. I'm excited that you guys are selling. Do you know where you would like to move to? It sounds exhausting and like a huge project!
