My feet hurt

Oh yeah and my hands, my fingers, my neck and especially my back. Why you ask? Remodeling a house is not nearly as fun as you might think. Will it look awesome when it is done, of course. I used to watch "flip this house" all the time and think I could do that, now I know I can do that, I am doing that, but I don't want to. Finding, getting bids from, hiring and then hoping contractors show up. What a headache. Constantly working and reworking and reworking and reworking your budget. Hours and hours and hours of shopping on the internet (by the way I saved myself $1000 yes one thousand dollars today on my new kitchen cabinets. I found a coupon for 20% off and then got free shipping and no sales tax.) I win! I swear the paint guy at Lowes hates me because I come in every day to get like 10 more paint samples. Choosing the paint colors for your entire house, not that fun. Oh yeah, then actually paint it, but you have to do it late at night after your kids are sleeping. Bascically what I am saying is, I am really tired. So don't feel abandoned if you don't hear from me. This is why. Give me two more weeks or so ( I still have to install the wood flooring for my whole house.) I promise I will get pictures as soon as there is something to see.

If I wasn't pregnant I would try to help. When life slows down for you give us a call.

I am feeling your pain! We are re-doing our kitchen cabinets right now and I am soooo over it! Your house is beautiful and I am sure that it will be all worth it.

Good luck!

But do you sleep through the night. What I wouldn't give to sleep through the night. Oh what I wouldn't give.
