I need to come up with something to say to the comment: "You're how old? Oh (big pause) I have a friend who waiting until after 30 to have kids!"
It's starting to crack me up a little bit. It's SO SURPRISING to some people here that I didn't start my family BEFORE 27 years old.
Today is DD's last day of school before the holiday break. They are having a small party and it should be a lot of fun for her. Both kids have minor colds right now. True to form they are troopers and barely pause to sneeze. Happy, happy kids.
The furniture companies/stores are calling to set up delivery times. Most of the crucial stuff is in -- except my sectional for the Great room. Bummer. We'll have our old couches in there for a couple of weeks. I am so excited to set up the kids' rooms! It will be so nice to have all their clothes and some of their toys in the CLOSET instead of in hand me down furniture in an already small room. Most of the furniture we will have right away will be delivered tomorrow or Friday. Friday will be our first night in the new house. Whoa. Crazy. Surreal.
The fireplace in the great room has been tiled but not grouted. I will probably post a picture when it's done. It didn't turn out exactly like I wanted but it is a very handsome fireplace anyway. Communication is SO IMPORTANT when building a house. Even when I think I've been CRYSTAL clear, there have been some mix ups with the retail people or the cabinet guy. Check, check and recheck everything is my new motto. So the hearth on the fireplace will be granite instead of tile. Whatever. I'll adjust.
I better quit typing and GET TO WORK!!! Whoever said this site is a vortex was correct!!
