Nothing new...

It will be a short post this week...

Nothing really new going on with the house.. kitchen and baths are slowly being demoed... getting a little worried that the house may not be ready in time for us to move in before the school year starts. Give props to my hubby though.. working his regular FT job 6 days a week then working at the house a few hours on Saturday and most of Sundays.

School vacation is this week, nothing really happening besides a couple playdates the boys have with some old friends from Plymouth. My SIL signed my boys up for swimming lessons at a local Y for the week, they love it! Thanks Mary!! :-) I've been dealing with some health issues lately so I appreciate her taking the boys each morning for me.

But all in all...nothing exciting to report..just a little nonsense post for today.

So I visited the house this past weekend...

and it's completely overwhelming!! It needs sooo much work... I'm wondering now if it will be ready in time for us to move in late August. BUT it will be really nice once it's all done over, but my god, it truly amazes me how people can live....here are some pics of it now...

Dining Room and downstairs bathroom (before being gutted):




Upstairs bathroom (before being gutted) and master bedroom:



Bedroom 2 and 3 :


So as you can see it needs some CRAZY LOVIN!! But I think once it's done it will be perfect for us.

So far Jamie and my FIL have pulled up all those gross brown wall to wall carpeting, and started gutting the downstairs bath. It's a work in progress so I'll take pictures as we go... but that's the update for now. Anthony and Nick are so excited to move, they can't wait to have their bikes and swing set back and a backyard to play in again!

My First Blog entry...

So I hate talking on the phone, and I have all these built up words and feelings inside me. I figure what better way then to vent is through a blog. No one is forced to read it, no one has to listen to me complain unless you choose to read, but I will try my hardest to keep my complaining to a minimum. :-) I just figured writing a blog could be my own sense of a therapist who would listen to my problems without really having to go to one.
