My house is a wreck.
I still have not unpacked one thing from vacation. I have a pile of papers and mail on my desk
to be sorted. I am a stay at home mom
how is it that 24 hours in a day is nowhere enough time to accomplish the tasks
I have. I have spent very minimal time
at home. My days have been filled with
running around the entire Hudson Valley.
I was up & out first thing this morning as well. I have spiral notebook filled with a to do list
as long as I am. I still have school
supply shopping to do. We have a full
weekend with several birthday parties to attend. Oh that reminds me I have a few presents to
purchase.
I did lie in bed last night to watch The Hunger Games….again! I love that movie. I have final plans stamped and ready to be
submitted to the building department for the permit. We are going tomorrow. I can’t believe we are already at this
stage. Once we have the permit in hand
it is go time! I am still struggling
with this whole build thing. I don’t do
well at all being forced into something I don’t want to do….and I NEVER wanted
to build a house. It just was never
anything that appealed to me. I like old
homes. But I love our piece of
land. It is beautiful, peaceful &
lots of it for the town we are in.
Our architect invited us to come out to his house to play
around with this awesome program he has.
You can set the house up with the type of outside materials including
the colors. It also allows you to put
your color swatches on the wall to view your walls, windows, flooring, kitchen
cabinets, etc. I am a visual person but
wow..just wow. I will be able to see it
before we actually do it. I wish I had
this program…well maybe not. I am not
sure I’d ever leave my computer plus I don’t need any more distractions as it
is.
My parents are doing well.
Mom had a doctor appointment yesterday and I think we made some great
progress. I think there were some
realizations that she just wasn’t facing.
I am so very lucky to have them here with us. I am thankful life for them can now become
more relaxed. We are hopeful that an apartment
will open soon at the over 55 complex.
It is perfect for them – people their age, bingo games, poker games, ice
cream & coffee socials, movie nights, etc.
They are still active and enjoy being around other people and this place
provides so much for them. It is
literally 2 minutes around the corner from the “new” house.
I just need life to slow down a bit…. Before I know it winter will be here. I hope everyone has a fantastic day!!!
