Day 3...

It seems like nothing is getting accomplished...yet it is. The entire spare room is painted, except the door needs to be done. We got a second coat on the ceiling in our room and one coat of green. I also go the cabinets cleaned out and some kitchen stuff put away in the kitchen. I am getting more excited...as I was putting stuff away and deciding where I wanted stuff it started to feel more like my house. Mom spent the day doing house work. I am not looking forward to that stuff. When I say housework I mean actual work on the house not just cleaning. Tomorrow, Tuesday, and Wednesday I have to work. Then we are off for four days. Let the moving commence!!

New House

We purchased a new house yesterday. Well, new to us!! It is several years old. It has a few issues, which I will talk about as I go through finding and fixing them!
Here is a run-through of what happened yesterday and today.
Friday...
Friday I was supposed to meet up with someone who works for the same company I do for breakfast because they were driving through Springfield. Well, on her way here her car's check engine light light came on and her battery gauge was low so we had to get her to a rental place and to get her car fixed...so no breakfast!
Then we ran back and picked up my checkbook to pay the closing costs on the house, which p.s. when paying closing costs if it is over 500 they can not take a personal check...must be a cashiers check. Got everything taken care of there. Then went to the house and got started painting.
We got the entire spare room primed with almost two coats...and I think that is it. We spent a lot of time making purchases yesterday. Plus I had to take care of some work things so that cut into time along with a very LONG chiropractor appointment!
Today....
Eric's parents dropped off their truck for us to use in the move. We had breakfast at Panera and then went on to the house were we got 1 coat of white and blue in the spare room and the trim done in our bedroom. Really not a lot accomplished on the painting front today. Hopefully we will finish tomorrow. We still have 2 coats of green to go in our room and one more on the trim...then another coat of white and blue in the spare room. Yuck...
I am currently VERY ready to go to bed but am waiting for Eric to get home from work. The poor puppy has been here all by himself all weekend. I feel really bad for him so I don't want to go to bed until Eric gets here so he can stay up.
Speaking of Wrigley...
I was taking a shower this evening...and the puppy decided to get in with me! I usually leave the door open when Eric isn't here so the puppy doesn't freak out thinking he doesn't know where I am. Well, today he decided to lean into the tub and bite at the water as if feel from the shower. I really thought it was pretty funny until I got soap on him. At this point he was so soaked that I decided to just give him a bath. I had to bang on the wall to wake up my sister to get the soap from downstairs. Let me tell you...giving a dog a bath while you are naked is weird!! Also trying to dry him off while naked...equally weird. However, now we are both clean and ready for bed!! :)
