Carpenters are here today - finishing!  Hooray!

Electricians are scheduled to be back in just a few hours. Hopefully, they will be finished today, too!  Hooray!

My brother is coming and will finish the stain work on the window trims.  Hooray!

My mom is  coming today and will help with homeschool - this will free me up tremendously.  Hooray!

To be done today:

The bookcases that I have in storage (in a pole barn) that are to be used as our kitchen cabinetry - they are filled with "stuff" from when we first took out our kitchen.  I need to have the kids go to the barn, empty everything out, then wipe it down with pledge.  It is then ready to be brought over to the house, today.  Hooray!

After the staining is done and the trim work - we can take up the paper floor covering that is all over the newly installed wood floor.  Hooray!

My own priorities today are:

Work on my bedroom - during the remodeling chaos, there are things that got put in my room for storage.  The kids cleaned out their drawers and put their clothes that no longer fit in black bags. Then they  put it in my room to figure out what to do with it.  Today is the day to do that so I don't go into the Thanksgiving holidays with a cluttered bedroom.

While I'm in my bedroom, I need to go through my clothes.  A) I don't know where I put my sweaters and every day I'm having a challange of figuring out what there is to where with the change of season and B) We are having family pictures taken this coming Saturday.  I don't have a clue of what I should wear.  I need to work on this, ASAP!

After I have figured out what I'm wearing, coordinate the kids clothing.  This is a priority today!

Take Jacob to get his hair cut today, before schools are out, so that I don't have to wait in a long line.  Need to get this out of the way for the pictures, also.

I have a guest coming late tonight to stay in our home for the Thanksgiving holidays (until Sunday night).  I need to give the house a check-over.

Believe this or not, but the girls giant doll house needs to be cleaned, too.  It is a part of my den (my exercise room) and it bugs me when it is messy.  Right now, it is really messy because when we had the remodeling chaos and everything was moved into the den, people put misc. stuff inside the doll house to get it out of the way.

Get the laundry caught up.  My mom will be here today and she is a big help in this area. 

I have two things to hang back on the walls.  One is a straw doll dressed in peach that goes in the guest bath.  The other is a rack to hang mops and brooms.  Mike will help me with this. 

In my spare time, I am still trying to figure out a dining light for over the table in the kitchen/dining room.  I have been shopping on the internet and have found one I like - but it's a little too big.  Having a hard time finding a second choice because I like this one so much.

If I go out today and get Jacob's hair cut, pick up a standing light fixture from Walmart.
