Well, dd2 is back! She's been gone since 12/31.  She had a great time. I had some respite from driving her here and there!

While she was gone I took advantage of not needing to drive as much, and we worked on some wall-paper stripping and painting of two bathrooms, hallway, stairwell, and overflowing into the livingroom.  The wallpaper was on ALL of this except the livingroom.  Everything has been stripped, scraped, spackled, sanded, primed, and painted except the stairwell, which we are still working on.  It is stripped but not scraped, spackled, or etc.  The livingroom only needed priming and painting, and one wall is primed.

Isn't it amazing the way it seems that when you work so hard to make something clean or fresh, sometimes it makes the things around it that are not done yet just stand out like a sore thumb!  Well, that's the way the edging and the ceiling look right now, because they both need the freshening coats, too, and inspite of how nice the walls look, the edges are just glaringly dirty and need their coat too!

So, right now we have the whole family here.  DD1 is about to leave for work. Tomorrow she has off, and Sunday she's going back to the college dorm for the next semester.  It's been so nice having her here, and she helped SO MUCH on the stripping/painting stuff!

Now, with DD2 back I'll be returning to the taxi business with two to four trips out of the house daily!  But, at least for today I can leave JD with B while I take T to the metro to get to work...

Weather nice today for the last day in awhile.  Was sunny and 62 degrees yesterday.  Today it was in the 60's, but not sunny.  Cold front supposed to roll in tonight with rain and making the temperatures go down to highs in the 40's for awhile.  I'm so ready for spring... And for this school year's busyness to be at its close...  ::sigh::

When I get back from my taxi trip I need to do some schoolwork with JD before I start making dinner...

Have a great day!
