It's a freakin' nightmare!






Well we've got all the rooms finished (or as much as is being done for now) and have moved everything from here to there and back again, lol. Most of the scrubbing, washing and organizing is all done as well, thank god! All I have left is a wee bit in the office, one storeroom and (gulp!) my scraproom. I am not sure I can talk about it....it is that bad! I have already spent 4 hours or so in it and who can tell? Not me that's for sure! As you can see from the pic's, it is anyone's nightmare. Seriously don't know what the heck I am supposed to do there!! Anyways, it will get done. I am off to upload pictures of the rest of the house (we all know its about me first, LMAO!).

Almost a new house....

or it will seem like it in a few more days, lol. We've been cleaning and moving furniture like mad men the past few days. All the painting is finished and we've moved the kids to the basement (where they belong HA HA!) but they just had a chance to start setting up their rooms today. Well, Damian just got started, Jasmine wasn't here. Sean & I busted a move yesterday for about 14 hours setting up the downstairs and cleaning carpets upstairs. We have baby's furniture in place (yes, all three kids now have rooms, lol) and I have spent all day today (almost 6 hours of it anyways, man I am EXHAUSTED!!!) moving everything out of my "old" scrap room into what will be my new scrap room (yes, another one ROFLMAO!). Then Sean can clean the carpet in the old one and it will transform into our new Media room, whoohoo! No more fighting every time one of us wants to play a video game or whatever.

Today is also my sweetie's birthday (he's 36 years old today, heehee...what a geezer! LOL) so I have a wonderful meal of his faves planned and made him a carrot cake with cream cheese icing (his fave) for dessert. Supper is a bit behind schedule though as I had to run in to pick up Jasmine (she's back from holidays now) and there is construction everywhere so that took almost 2 hours. (I hate bloody construction Argh!)

No labour yet (not for lack of trying, lol, I have been working my ass off and nothing dammit!) so it looks like I will still be waiting up to another 4 weeks. Ah well, what does one do?! (Seriously?!!!! What DOES one do!!!!)

My GF Alanna & her hubby Alan are home now. They named their little guy Allister. Haven't got to see him yet...didn't make it there the other day. Hoping to go out this week if all goes well with my work here. Don't have a lot of days left that I will go that far from my hospital so I had better go soon, lol.

Well, that's all for now. TTYL

Reno's are coming along

Well, we have been busy beavers this past few days. All the mudding, sanding and such is now done. Sean worked his butt off painting yesterday and finished Damian's walls and has the priming done in Jasmine's room (hers is a bit more complex as it is multi colored, lol). I am off to the Doctor's this afternoon and then am picking up more paint so we can hopefully get this done! ( Starting to get excited, a wee little bit as we hit the home stretch)
Jasmine seems to be having a good time camping with her grandparents and her Dad, step mom & sisters done near Kelowna. She did mention that the mosquitoes have been glad of her company, lol. When will she learn to use bug spray?!
Damian has now worked two shifts and seems to be enjoying it but is definitely VERY tired when he gets home, lol. His job is very go go go so far. He is getting excited for his new room as well. (He obviously doesn't realize how much work there will be here for him moving stuff around when we are done, LMAO!)

My GF Alana had her baby last night! A bouncing baby boy!! I am going to try and pop in to see her this afternoon when I am in town. Last update I had, they hadn't decided on a name yet, maybe this afternoon?

Off to get ready. Ciao for now!! :)
