Yes, Tracy, it is great to see it shaping up!
Yesterday, I spent a long, long day painting, but it is nice to at least have the areas done where cabinets are going. Then all I have to do is touch up. I still have more to do, but it can be done while they are setting cabinets as it is not in the way.
Today, I got my flooring! It is so beautiful. Well, at least the kitchen is laid so I do have the visual for that. Tommorrow, they come back to finish in the hall, bath, and grout. Now I am just waiting to hear when if the carpenter can start installing cabinets on Thursday........I hope. Otherwise we will wait until the weekend. Next week, they measure for the countertops. It is finally all coming together.......And not a moment too soon.
It has been so cold here and I am really anxious to cook a warm homemade meal.
Went to the eye dr. and he took me off my eye drops and said that the PRK had healed and all things look good.
Today's food:
Breakfast - apple danish and sm oj (Panera's)
AM snack - none
Lunch - couple handfuls of cheetos (lots of stress)
PM snack - tea, grab bag of chips, 2 reeses pb cups (lots of stress)
Supper - bacon cheeseburger w/mayo and tomato, pepsi
Now - a few goldfish
I am struggling today.....even though I am excited about the kitchen process. DD19 pretty much decided that she is going to stay at the boyfriend's house and has many excuses, none that hold water. But since she is going on 20, she has decided that she can come and go as she pleases, whenever, where ever, and for however long, we shouldn't ask questions. OH, and we should still foot the bill....we shouldn't ask her to help out with anything....don't expect her to volunteer with anything around the house, and realize that she is not being rude to us or disrespectful when she comes in and doesn't bother to say a word to anyone. It seems to me that we have seen this played out before.........oh, yeah, that was my oldest. Thankfully, she turned out alright.
Anyway, DH said that if she didn't come home then she must be wanting to move out. Now she says she has to stay to "figure things out where no one can bother her" (no one bothers her her) and "we will talk in a day or two about what she will do". Uh, did I miss the boat on whose house this is?
Yes, you know it is horrible here. She comes and goes now and we really know very little of what she does besides when she is at work (I know because I do the payroll) and when she is at school. Didn't think we were prying. We don't often ask for her to help with her bother and sister much......hmmmmm.....haven't asked for her to cook a meal, lately. Ok, a missing kitchen is a problem. At any rate, it is basically an excuse to play house whenever she wants. Well, I guess if you want to play house, you can pay the bills that go with it.
I just didn't need more stress right now. Guess I will talk to you all later.
