Wallpaper in the front entry=gone, paint in the back entry=done, new doors=installed, all woodwork=beaming, kit's room=reorganized, rugs=rug-doctored, power-washing the house=will be done tomorrow when Dad comes, kitchen cabinets=almost ready for install.
It's been two weeks and we've gotten a lot done, but there's a lot more to do. We've lived in this house for three years and just now I'm finally beginning to feel like we're really getting somewhere. Don't let the outside's peeling paint fool you...Troy has always been busy. But, now we just want to get it done and we're calling-in all our favors.
Mom has spent six days with me while I've been off and believe me I'm not a fun one to work with sometimes. It takes me a few swear words to really want to dig in and get dirty. After 30 years, I've decided I should finally start listening to her. She has made me want to get this house done, to do things the right way, and most of all use Murphys Oil Soap like nobody's business. I'm ashamed to say a Swiffer has been cleaning my woodwork for awhile and it's about time it took a hiatus. 509 Fountain St has never smelled so good. God bless Murphys Oil Soap!
I don't know if I hate this house or love this house...maybe I'll just hate it while it's ugly, and then when it's beautiful it will be my favorite thing in the world....go f*cking figure.

- I finally decided to keep a blog so our kids will have a written record of us as a family. I'm finally starting to figure out how to make our life work after living with our first-born for one whole year. I'm a slow learner....but determined to raise our kids to be critical thinkers, social butterflies, good laughers, excellent listeners, and a person with a good heart that can handle just about anything. It's going to take some work making sure our heads are on straight to ensure theirs will be too. I'm not into whiners, codependent kids, too much sugar, no discipline....no personality and no helping hands. Not my Kit & CarterBaby!
