The Workmen Are Gone, But The Work Isn't Over
The Man thought the workmen wouldn't be gone till Friday, even though I'd told them they had said Thursday at the latest, and we knew how good these guys are.
Sure enough, they were finished by Wednesday night.
Told him so! Heh,heh,heh,heh,heh..........................
JR's room is now a color her dad calls "Barbie Pink". Duron calls it "Feathery Lilac", but it's a very pale pink. Pink enough for her to see it, not so pink that you feel as if you were standing inside a Pepto Bismol bottle. She loves it.
SC's room is "Iceberg"--a very pale blue. She wanted a darker color, but her room is not brightly lit and tends to be dark from the trees outside, so we persuaded her to go for the light color. And I'm going to buy her a wallpaper border--something with planets or constellations, which is what she wants for her room.
The hallway, the stairway and the whole downstairs are wallpaper free and white/eggshell colors. A lot of small plastering jobs were taken care of.
Now there's only one problem.
The Man managed to not finish clearing out JR's room. He didn't box up the books on the floor or all of the other assorted "stuff" that was all over the living/dining room.
So right now our living room sofa is STILL out of place and covered with books, there are small bookcases, boxes and books all around it and our kitchen table is covered with books, tchotchkes and heaven knows what else.
The girls ate dinner (pizza) on my bed last night because it's the only clear place to sit in the house. Breakfast too. Lord knows what we are going to do at dinner time tonight.
It's kind of like being pregnant. It takes forever, you know something good is coming at the end of the wait, and once you get started you can't stop.
We're making progress. Slowly but surely.
But the key word is "slowly".
SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
