Update Part 1.....

I have been SO busy lately that my poor little blog has suffered a bit!!  I am trying to get ready for Little Man to arrive.  It's only about 4 weeks now and to say I am SO ready for him to get here is the understatement of the world!!!  I am SO ready to be a MOM!!!  

My days are spent keeping my house spotless at all times for any last minute notices for showings.  This is a common occurrence!   Then, I got over to the new house and check on things, meet contractors and spend hours upon hours there.  It is really just easier for me to spend my day there because if I leave, I get a phone call from a contractor to come back.  Good thing it is only 10 minutes from the old house to the new one. 

The house is coming along great!  Firing the "Father in Law" was the BEST thing I ever did.  I know it sounds harsh, but he truly can't handle three different projects.  The City was probably more relieved than me.  Things have been running SO smooth without him involved.  The stucco will finally be done this week and I absolutely LOVE the color I chose!  The wood floors are done and all the trim will be done mid week.  The sink vanities will be delivered this week along with the cabinets and fireplace surrounds.  The wood for the stairs and the railings will also be installed this week.  It will be an exciting but VERY busy week!  The following week will be the start of paint and wallpaper.  I am wallpapering the laundry room and master closet.  I can't wait to see them when they are finished!  The paint will take about three weeks to complete, which seems like FOREVER!!!  The wood floors will get stained and scrapped after we have the AC turned on.  I have no clue why we have to have the wood floors stained while the AC is on, but that is what I am told we have to do, so I guess we will get the Certificate of Occupancy from the City before that happens.  This sucks since it means we can't just move in the day we get it like we should be able to.  It will delay that for about a week.  So, at this rate, I feel that we will be in mid to late September.  UUUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

NOTE TO ALL: NEVER BUILD A HOUSE WITH "IN LAWS"  Trust me on this.  Just trust me!!!!

So, this means Little Man will be here way before we move in the house.  I am sure it is going to be to so much fun finishing things up with the house with a newborn much less moving with one.  Fun times ahead for sure!!! 

Part 2 of my update will be about how I did with my July goals as well as my August goals! 

Until tomorrow,
