Toilet Paper Remodel :: An Update

I’ve had lots of people asking about our house lately and wondering where the updates are. Well, I haven’t exactly had anything to update – all work came to a halt for a while! It seems like this whole ordeal has really drug on and on and on and on… ok, you get the picture. The painters came a few weeks ago and did a great job… with the wrong colors. We got that straightened out, then had a tile mix-up. Mike took a day off of work and we looked at more tile samples than I care to remember! Stars aligned just right one night and we finally agreed on a tile, and a layout! Hooray! We quickly got the information to the flooring folks and then bam! Everything stopped! It was almost 17 days before anymore work was done!! Actually, the work “strike” ended this afternoon! I ran by the house to feed cats after spending the day in the Woodlands and was happy to find a tile guy jamming away to latino music and putting beautiful tile in my kitchen!!  Yes, we’re still living at staybridge and YES!! I’m still starting school in less than one week. The kiddos started full-time daycare on Monday. It was much harder for me to let them go than it was for them to see me leave! I cried! I’m incredibly anxious about school and pretty stressed about how it’s all going to work out with such a demanding program and moving back into the house! I’ve been trying to relax and breathe deep, but  I’m still very stressed, and class hasn’t even started yet!!! Well, I’d better get going, I just wanted to give a quick update. Nope, no one missed the big announcement that we’re moving back in …2 – 3  more weeks, maybe?? Ahhh, so much fun!

Here’s what I saw when I got to the house today… a beautiful site for weary eyes!
