| we should leave this in the boychik's room just for spite |
man, i have been seriously super grumpy lately. i think that's what being stressed out does to me, and we're all kind of in a heightened state of "oh my god there's so much to do" and also antsy to get the hell out of this house and into the new one. i think the only one of us that isn't a grouch right now is the girlchild, and she has been a refreshing change of pace. if i could have two days alone in the house, i think i could get a lot done and feel a lot less fussy, but the problem about having a family is that you can't kick them out for a few days because you want to. you need a good reason, and i don't really have one. also, i need to get over my thing where i only work on house stuff when they're gone. after all, we're about to get married and they're not going anywhere any time soon. i am actually going to have to adapt, i can put it off no longer. at least the kids are back in school today and D works; i feel a great big productive streak coming on already.
lately i'm all about reading home and design blogs and am having five million ideas for things i want to do to the house. we had the inspection this weekend, so this morning i meet with the realtor to go over the findings and maybe re-negotiate the price. the report really didn't find much though; there are a few things that will need to be repaired and/or replaced in a few years, so we'll need to set up a fund for that sort of thing, but overall, there aren't any glaring defects. yay!

How I wish I could take your wallpaper and put it in CX's room! He would love it beyond reason.
I hear you about working around the house with Other People there. I turned down a swimming trip yesterday afternoon to stay in and get more preparation-for-the-week-ahead cooking done than I could have if they'd been at home. I still haven't figured out how best to adapt. I need to take some pages from your book.
