some more inital house pics.....

So, I haven't hung even ONE THING on the walls! But I'm gonna post what I'm calling some initial pics of a couple more rooms.

The Family Room....which is desperately seeking more furniture!



My daughters room.....

My Kitchen

Since most of my house looks like this....


I'll just show you a couple pics of my kitchen!





the lighting is bad on this one...

As I get things put together I will post more pics!!

We are in!!

Well, we are in...it's not totally done...but we are in. A few subs will be here today finishing up some small details.
My hubby asked me the other night if I felt a weight had been lifted...I said NO!

Hello...do you SEE all these boxes! So much to unpack and so many things to do! No desk for me right now...I'm working off a sofa table. Couches, but no coffee tables or end tables. Trips to ikea only to come home and discover the DAMAGED items!! GRRRR!

When you go from a tuscan inspired color themed home to a tranquil serene ocean inspired color themed home....well lets just say there are a lot of decorative items that are getting put into the garage sale bin. And I have WAY more actual large wall space in this home. I usually move in and start hanging things on the wall the first day. Not the case here!

Ok, Ok, I know ya'll want pictures!! I will try to get some sort of organization assembled and take a few pics later today!

And so it begins!!!

We started moving in! The cleaners came today and they finished around 5:00 pm. So my mom (my amazingly helpful mom) and I began doing some small things. My daughters closet is all done with her clothes hanging perfectly...wonder how long it will look that way? I should take a picture so I can remember it!
My pantry shelves are stocked with food. SOME of my laundry room cupboards are filled with cleaning supplies, first aid stuff, medicine, etc. All of my son's clothes are in his room waiting to be hung, but those darn hangers are in a box SOMEWHERE!

So, again....a shout out to my locals....we are starting on Saturday at 9:00 am and we will be at it all day long! We will not be turning away any help that shows up!!!

The countdown begins!

Well, we are in the final stretch! Gotta love it when you walk into the house and EVERY sub has ignored our "please remove shoes" sign! I set them straight!

Our goal: Cleaning on Thursday/Friday and move in on Saturday.
Our nemesis: We'll just call them Subcontractor #1 and Subcontractor #2

Sub #1 says he'll be done by the end of the day wednesday. C'mon ya'll and pray with me on this one!!!
Sub #2 will be here tomorrow, but he won't like all the blue tape we have all over the walls!

To all my locals out there....what are you doing on Saturday?

by the way....I will return to my normal weekly blog format in 2 weeks.

Doing Better

The rest of the week was a bit better....in my head at least. The house project has still been frustrating as we have been having subs that aren't living up to their deadlines. But my stress level is down. What was going on before is that my hubby was out of town for work and all the pressure to meet the move in deadline of TODAY was on me! Once I convinced my Hubby that it wasn't going to happen....my stress was relieved! So, we are looking at moving in a week later than we originally thought....that's not too bad.

The house is coming along though. I will try to take some pictures and post them this coming week.

I'M DONE!!

on overload

last week of house construction

experiencing melt down

deadline...not realistic

drove by my old house today.....all I wanted to do was go inside and be HOME! ...but it's not my home anymore.

when will the new one be home? It seems never ending. The end was suppose to be Friday....not gonna happen.

I want to sit down and escape with the olympics...but my DARN satellite keeps saying "weak signal" and the screen if just blank.

I wish I was on a beach in Mexico!

***according to sitemeter 29 people have read this so far, but don't care!......yup! it's that kind of day! apparently I'm having a pity party!
