We still haven't gotten our sod since it keeps raining here and it is so muddy. I am not too worried about it b/c I am so busy doing the inside of the house to worry about the outside. I don't even want to think about landscaping. Aaron planted two trees in the front yard, but they aren't doing too well. They have kinda died, and I don't know if they are going to make it through. They were free though so oh well.
Aaron has started school and likes it ok. He has been getting done earlier than expected the first two weeks. Next week they will probably start lectures for real instead of going over MS Outlook and such. What dental school student doesn't know how to use Outlook is my question? I love my new stay at home mom status. I am actually babysitting a 10 yr old boy of my mom's friend at his house today and all next week, but after that it is smooth sailing and hopefully the house will be all finished up or at least in livable conditions. Painting wouldn't be that bad if you didn't have to clean out the brushes and roller every time you stopped. Anyway, my sisters Michelle and Lorna will be getting back from Utah today so I am excited to see them and get some time with Michelle before she leaves for college.
Now I need to catch up on my Crummy reading.
Fri Jul 29 2005 10:57 Busy, busy, busy:
We are in our house now and have tons of projects going all at once. Some getting done while others still waiting to be done. This moving business never ends. It is pretty stressful especially with 2 kids messing up your work...j/k one child undoing your work, one husband making sure the Xbox works. :) We finished painting the master bedroom, family room, and kitchen but all three rooms still need touch up. This is making me not want to paint any other rooms in the house b/c it is a lot of time and fixing and touching up. We went with khaki in the master bedroom with one wall (the wall we have our bed against) ruby red. I love the color red and wanted to do something fun. The master bath is going to be khaki as well, just haven't finished painting it. The kitchen and family room is one big area so we did it all the same color, sage. It looks really good, not too light, not too dark. It has a gray tint to the sage and not so green. We installed our blinds and I still have a couple that I need to shorten. We decided on the faux wood blinds b/c I think they are classy and pretty. And I love the white finish against the sage walls.
