When it rains it pours!

Things have been crazy lately! Last week I spent Monday shopping for carpet. Tuesday shopping for paint and painting my room. Wednesday painting the kids room. Thursday at work where my bosses computer had burned up and her external hard drive had gotten unplugged in April, 4 months of work gone! Thursday night painting base boards. Friday I spent the day getting my Primary Cranium game finished. Saturday we took the kids to Lagoon. Sunday was church and stuff. Monday we moved all of our furniture out of our house into my moms, tore up the carpet, and painted our front room. Tuesday the carpet guy came and installed carpet while helped my mom clean out the garage. Wednesday the city provided dumpsters for our neighborhood so I moved wood all day and cleaned out my moms junk room...now it is a storage room, not a junk room. Then we went through a much needed temple session that night. Yesterday I went to work for 12 and 1/2 hours to get some of the lost info in my bosses computer. Along with all this our bathroom is full of mold and I've been wanting to get it taken care of but I'm feeling like it will never happen since I guess we will have to pay for it. There is no way of knowing the cost until we start tearing things apart...it could be $1000 or could turn into an entire bathroom remodel. So basically all the debt we have gotten out of in the past 3 years of living at my moms house will reappear...humm...will we ever get a house? So today I am trying to get caught up on laundry and get a grocery list together since I"m 5 days late on my grocery shopping. We still haven't hung up our pictures and our closet doors which is what we will do tomorrow (then I'll post pictures of our stuff). Oh, and my moms kitchen ceiling started leaking the other day. I'm on the enrichment committee and we have a Terrific Tuesday (same as Super Saturday) on Tuesday and I'm doing a demonstration on how to make your own cake pans. I was very excited for this but along with everything else it has become just one more thing to get done. We also had to spend $400 in repair for our cars.

Okay so I'm frustrated. I know that these things are nothing compared to what others deal with and 3/5 of my apartment look really nice now and I'm grateful for that. I'm just the type of person that likes to finish things so I've been going non-stop for two weeks and the lack of sleep and physical exhaustion have set in so all I can see are the bad things. But I am grateful that I have healthy kids, an awesome relationship with my husband & Heavenly Father, food to eat... you know all those things but I still feel overwhelmed. Okay, the end of my rant.

It does sound like you have a lot on your plate! I can't wait to see the pictures though. On a separate note, I had no idea you could make your own cake pans...post pictures of those too!

Wow! I'm sorry it's been so crazy! I really hope you enjoy your new carpet and paint when it's all done, though. I agree with you- "when it rains it pours"
