Ivy Tied Up |

Mixed up ramblings of a bipolar mom to 4…

House work

Monday Aug 28, 2006

Its almost complete! All the contractors have left is to finish putting up trim.. But they cant get to that yet because of us.. We have to finish painting the bathroom.. So they can come do the trim in there and put the mirror back up.. Its happening slowly..

Here are a few pictures so far.. Ignore the spots that need to be touched up and the area’s where the wall meets floor.. Thats where the trim has to go..LOL

This is bug’s room.. He picked out his flooring..

I hate the flooring personally but he loves it..

This is the hallway.. the tile that is down is also whats in the bathroom now as well..

Its coming along.. Its just minor stuff now..Which is good because the baby is coming friday!!!!!!!!!!!
Assuming I make it that long. they didnt expect me to make it this far.. This was told to me at my last appt last week..
Its been a rough 2 weeks.. As Sitting here or standing or whatever REALLY hurts.. I cant do much becasue it causes too much pain.. Cant even lift a laundry basket!

My sister came over yesterday and cleaned up the kids rooms and helped with the living room and kitchen (which I had almost done anyway).. My mom came the weekend before and Painted and stuff.. All thats left to do is my bedroom.. Its been something getting ready for this with the house being a wreck too!

We are almost ready though. If he makes his arrival today we’d be okay! I’m still in shock that next week i’ll have 4 kids.. I’ll be managing with 4 kids!!!!!!!!! Hubby is only going to miss 1 day of work.. For the surgery and thats it.. Then he will be off on Monday for the holiday and then back to work on tuesday..So that leaves me recovering from surgery with a newborn, toddler and 2 kids in school.. Its going to be tough but i’ve done it everytime by myself I can do it this time too.. We simply cant afford for him to miss anymore work than he has too.. Luckily if all goes as planned he wont miss any hours at all as they are off on fridays normally anyhow..

I’m still really nervous about this surgery.. I’ve had it 3 times but am still scared.. I’ll be okay..But STILL SCARED!

I’m glad to hear that almost everything was completed before the next one comes along. I know you’ve had a rough time with the first three, so I hope that this one goes much smoother for you.

Congrats for Friday!! I can’t believe it is time already.

You’ll be fine. Just think of it this way - THE LAST TIME! :)
Can’t wait to see a pic of your beautiful new baby.

Stay healthy and I hope everything goes well.
