Well, tomorrow will be 2 weeks left until we have to move! Oh the joys of moving! One thing that's good though, is that it forces you to get organized! It also forces you to throw out some clutter that you don't need, and get rid of old things that normally, you would have just thrown in a drawer somewhere! I like that aspect of it. Well, the hard things though, are having to live in boxes for weeks, (because I hate waiting until the last minute to pack, so I usually pack everything up early!) and not being able to find things, or packing something you need later, or having to buy new things for the house (new expenses). We are moving into an older house (built in 51) and there are NO window coverings! I am leaving all these window coverings here, because I thought that's just what you do - but in this case, we're going to have to buy all new window coverings! There are things that need to be done in the house too, not things I can't live with for awhile, but things like REALLY old windows (that don't even open!) and old flooring in the bathroom, an old (and really ugly) medicine cabinet, a laundry room that is not the way I like it, an electric range that needs replaced, no dishwasher or disposal (yikes!) and just some maintenance that needs to be done as well as updating light fixtures and such. (Oh, and there is NO mailbox!) So, these things add up quickly! We also need to buy rugs for the floors, because they are all hardwood, (and rugs are quite expensive!) Once I get everything I need, it will be very cute and cozy. I am also going to turn the back porch into a sunroom eventually and tile the floor, as well as fix up the laundry room, and tile the tub surround and floor of the bathroom, get new windows for the house (they are single paned) and possibly fence the yard.
Sooo much to do today! Well, hopefully we won't be moving again too soon so we can actually settle in and enjoy the house longer! We still haven't even explored NC since we've been here, so hopefully we can do that more now.
Well, better get back to work! :) |
