The other day, for the first time since starting this entire home project, I ended up feeling a bit overwhelmed. This happened when we discovered that our water heater also needs to be replaced right away. So, we just bought a fridge and then within 2 days we found we needed a new range and water heater, both of which we had thought were fine. Now we find ourselves looking at the dishwasher with great suspicion. It will all work out, but I think my brain just needs the occasional freak out about it all.
The bathroom is coming along so nicely, I will have to post photos soon! We have a closet framed in for our washer/dryer and a new window in there! Oh, and we caught a mouse. He appeared to be the same mouse I saw the other evening, but we are keeping the traps set up incase he had a whole mouse family living in our wall.
My goal for this weekend is to get the stairs completely stripped and for Joe to get the hall painted. He has to do the hall because it involves a tall ladder on the stairs and I am a bit nervous about heights. I have some ideas about what to do with the stairs that I think may be fun and interesting, so we will have to see how that all plays out. First thing first, they need to be stripped :)
I find myself really wanting to pack up the kids and go to IKEA today as a way to blow off some steam. Lots of stress lately and IKEA is my idea of perfect retail therapy. Of course, my husband and I are a bit co-dependent and I think he would be very sad if I went without him.
