Well, our bedroom is about 75% done. Projects in this house seem to take FOREVER! Xavier finally got the tiling done this weekend with the help of a good friend. Nothing says "good friend" like someone willing to spend THEIR day off on their hands and knees on your floor tiling all day..... I'm praying really hard that we get to at least start grouting this evening..... Then, another weekend for trim and doors.....then finally we might get to move our stuff back in there!!!
With the house as torn up as it is, it is simply amazing that we are able to get anything, including schoolwork done around here! Thursday and Friday were spent (about 10 hours EACH) working on schoolwork....that STILL isn't completed! Friday night was homecoming for Alex-his last (he's a senior). The kids and I really needed a break from the books! Saturday, I took the boys to a Nature Fest (to get them out of the house so the tiling could go on). We had a lot of fun, but it was WAY too hot!! We were definitely not dressed for the weather!! The boys got to play with armadillos, possums and other animals. Afterwards, we went to some friends home to cool off and eat dinner while the tile set in our bedroom. The kids had fun playing while we visited. Alex was off at his homecoming dance.
Yesterday, we went to church, CCE and tennis practice. The guys finished tiling the room (yea!). Our bedroom is the second largest room in our tiny house. Consequently, most of the large furniture is in there....well, WAS in there....now it's spread out all over the place, including school tables! Not sure how we are going to get any schoolwork done this week....guess what gets done, gets done.
So far, we are also blessed that we haven't been hit with the H1N1 flu. Allergies are running rampant here, but we can deal with that stuff. We are certainly praying for all those who have had a run in with the flu.....nasty stuff.
We're also hoping for some cooler, more fall-like weather.
