Plans Change

10-11-13

So much for those plans.

The entire afternoon and evening was spent changing my ideas for what I wanted to accomplish. It wasn’t too horrid, but it was a little frustrating. I ended up picking up the boys from school, which was not too bad as it allowed me to go get a new soccer ball for Dax beforehand. I also ended up having to take the boys to practice since Ken got stuck in traffic. This worked ok since it meant Miss Luna could go on a car ride. It did mean getting stuck by a train, but it just allowed some puppy dog scritching time. So even though there was a handful of curves thrown at me, I managed to make the most of them.

I did get to also see the beautiful bathroom we are going to have. Ken has up all but one wall and I gotta say, WOW! It is gorgeous! I love the tile we picked and it matches the light fixtures and paint beautifully. I am quite pleased and anxious to see the finished product. He will hopefully get the tile done today/tomorrow and then he can grout. Once that is done, we can put in the toilet, which itself is a victory since it means I can pee inside Steve instead of in the port a potty outside. Bleah.

Flooring has been scheduled. They come on the 22^nd. Woo! This gives us a countdown to getting these rooms done and cleared so they can work. Really, we are in the final stages. Trim is one of the biggest things left. Lots of painting is scheduled for this weekend so that it can all be put up in the next week. I have plans to clear out our bedroom tonight of debris making it ready. The lights are in there and it is painted. The only thing needed in there is trim, which doesn’t require the paint paper or other trash in there.

Ken is able to call the gas company back today since the gas leaks have been repaired. Yay! I think before I head to Steve this afternoon I will grab some things from the kitchen to take with me to load in there. I have been wanting to do this for some time but with all of the changing plans, it has been hard.

I just realized I missed a PTA meeting last night. I feel bad, but realistically I don’t think it will be a huge deal. In reality, everyone knows how busy I am so no one is going to fault me.

Riley goes to her new home tomorrow afternoon. She is strong and healthy and a spitfire that Sarah will really enjoy. I will miss her, and in some ways, had Sarah not taken her I would have considered keeping her for Breezer and Lucy since they really enjoy having her around. I am very glad that I didn’t have to make that decision. LOL!

Lycos seems to be back to herself pre stroke. She does seem to be struggling with balance a bit more, but is eating and managing. I am watching for any sign that she may give to tell me she is throwing in the towel. I don’t want to miss it. I don’t want her to spend her last days suffering. That is one of my biggest fears.
