paint

10-21-13

We are ready.

The floors are cleared off so that tomorrow they can begin on the sanding. I also managed to paint a couple of things. I was planning on painting some more trim this afternoon, but it occurs to me that I actually should concentrate on the door frames. I got part of our bedroom done. I can most likely tape everything off this afternoon and get the yellow part done on 4 of the doors. That would be good since I want to get what paint needs to be done near the floors done quickly.

Saturday was exhausting. Soccer days really do take it out of me. Especially when it was hot and I had snacks to do for Dax’s game. And really, Dax’s games just kill me. I love these boys all so much and I want them to do well. I felt like they were not listening to me during the game, but maybe they were just so into the game they didn’t hear me. It got frustrating at times. It was a good game and honestly, I kind of fibbed to them and told them they won. They don’t know the difference. They did so freaking good!

It looks to be another week of crazy. If they are working on the floors all week, it does mean we probably cannot go in most of Steve. However, I can probably work in the family room and get things done in there.

Tonight I have PTA training. It is some kind of workshop on the newsletter, which is something I am doing for the school. Hopefully the training isn’t too long. I really don’t want to be there all dang night.

If all goes well, the floors should be done this week which means we can set up beds this weekend. Yay! I need to work on a way to empty the boys’ dresser since that is going to be ours. I want to move that over soon so I can figure out spacing. This means we should probably try to get Frank’s truck.

When I told the boys we might have the beds set up this weekend they were excited at the prospect of sleeping at Steve. I don’t know that we will do that just yet since I would kind of like our first night at Steve to be when we are truly moved. That date keeps looking closer, but man it seems so far away.

I have to go to a Halloween store. I had ordered a yellow wig for my costume from Amazon but it looks to not get here until Nov, which doesn’t do me much good. It is cool though since I need to go get some face paint, too. I also need to figure out a way to color the lenses of my goggles white, but still be able to see out of them.
