Now THAT felt like a weekend. I was home 90% of the time and CLEAN was the key word. Boy howdy, after 2 months of a house in disarray, it felt GOOD to clean.
We got our old bedroom completely cleared and Scott took down the chair rail. I’ll be calling the carpet people in the morning to schedule a cleaning. As soon as the walls are patched, I’ll be able to paint. I’m still looking out for their new beds and then they can move in!
I got the playroom completely cleaned. All of this mess is gone, gone, gone. We are back to looking like a playroom. Tables are cleaned, bins are organized. I even vacuumed in there.
I moved all my stuff out of my dresser and into the new one I got from IKEA. All of my clothes are super organized. It feels SO GOOD not to fight my closet and dresser for clothes. And they’re all now in the closet so it’s fantastic not having to go back and forth between rooms to get stuff. Wow, that sounds so lazy but it really was a pain to leave the bathroom/closet just to get underwear and come back to get dressed.
Scott got our A/C working this weekend! Hallelujah! OF COURSE it’s only going to be in the 70s this week but that’s ok, I’ll take it. Our power bill is always at least $90 and can get near $250 in the summers so after getting our $63 power bill this weekend I’m fine with cooler weather.
Other than that, I did stuff like washing our tile floor down for the first time, washed our hardwoods that were dirty once again from all the A/C work, laundry was going all weekend, we went grocery shopping Saturday. Just STUFF I’ve been needing to do and never felt like I could catch up given all the addition stuff going on.
It feels good to go into the week with everything behind me. It’s my long week in the office but I feel so much more available than I was last week to leave. I even have dinner planned for half the week.
We are still not 100% done on the addition. We are still waiting for shower doors, mirror and our cabinet doors/drawers. Really hoping to call it finished this week!
Hope you guys had a great weekend and have a good Monday!
Love reading your addition updates–can’t wait for the final reveal. Also, so excited to see how the Lord adds to your family through your adoption process.
