So far, it has been a very strange day. I will say that, although I am very happy at the hard working contractors and their willingness to put in extra time to get the job done (GIT ER DUN), I am starting to get very TIRED of having people in the house all the time. […]
I think I’m a Winter
June 13, 2012 by
I’m starting to talk like our contractors. My husband asked me, casually, what the tile guys were going to do with the cement shower base and cinderblock bench. “They’re gonna beef it up real good” was what I actually told him. Because I now know ALL when it comes to pouring the cement for a […]
I has a sad
June 10, 2012 by
Have you ever had one of those days where you are sad, but not for a particularly valid reason, and that lack of a valid reason makes you even more sad? That was me today. As I swept up the dust, again, I started to feel limp and wrung-out, with the thought of excessive noise […]
And this is what my life has become

Be thankful you don’t need […]

Well. This is going to complicate things.” the flooring guy said more times than […]
I Don’t Know When, We’ll Get Together Then

The noise in my house is insane right now. The kitchen flooring is being very loudly ripped up and replaced, tiles are being demolished in the bathroom and entry way, and there is the loud sound of a Shop Vac and the omnipresent outside voices of the contractors. I peeked upstairs to see the process […]
