Its starting to feel like home!

Today felt like the first really productive day since starting our whole project. Up until today I looked at the mess that was my home and thought... WHAT am I doing? WHY did I tear all this up? Today though my thoughts have changed.

Today we got the drywall mud up, so the walls are smooth, where the wallpaper (hearts and homes) once was. We also primed the cabinet base to get it ready for paint. My father in law got the door on the room were making into a fourth bedroom. It is really starting to come together!

Tomorrow we can prime the walls, and paint the cabinets and doors and drawers then paint the walls and when my Father in Law comes on Monday things should be ready for him to finish up! That means I will hopefully have a counter top, sink, floors and all that Monday evening!

It feels good to see it coming together and not just look like a demolition took place. We will also move the majority of our things over there tomorrow. We have NINE days to get out of this apartment! NINE DAYS! So its time to hustle!

8 years at the same job!

I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family. So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

Don't Eat That!

Recently I was having a conversation with someone, who I will not name, and they said something about eating boogers... Then told me that it was healthy, "look it up." She said. So, not until today but even so I did. I found that apparently she was correct, and eating boogers is healthy for you. So when your kids pick and then go to munch, I guess maybe you should let them do it? Booger pie anyone? Upon googleing this information was found: Dr. Bischinger has been quoted as saying (in an Austrian accent), “With the finger you can get to places you just can’t reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner. And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body’s immune system.” He then added, “Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. In terms of the immune system the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it wor...

Its not always 50/50

Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter. So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well. God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)
