John has six days off and the baby girl will be here is 9 weeks so we decided that it might be time to prepare a place for her and at the same time try to fix up the house a little. Bad thing about being on a budget is that we don't have enough money all at once to do everything we want to do in the right order....it causes some confusion and disarray to say the least. But on the upside...who really cares. It is not like we have company over all the time and not like we are the type of people who have to have it all done at once and done perfectly. So here are the projects that need to be done.....we just aren't sure which order so it is a little chaotic right now in the house.
Really the whole house on the inside needs painting...but before baby comes we would like to at least get kids bedrooms painted. New carpet and flooring. We want carpet in only the bedrooms and laminate wood in the rest of the house. We have bunk beds to get and put together. Both older kids need new dressers. Bought a new stove yesterday !!! Baby furniture has to come out of attic. If we do all the floors in the house the old tile and carpet have to come up....
So as of today...John has pulled carpet out of both kid rooms, I'm going to pick out carpet for those rooms, we will probably have it put in right away (not the rest of the house) so that we can paint and get the bunk beds and rest of the furniture set up. Then maybe we can work on the rest of the house.
It is a little mind boggling to me, especially since mess and chaos make me itch a little (Revell family traits coming out in me) but I love the way John works and makes it all happen and eventually it will all get done...God teaches us patience through it all and it makes for less stress if we just go with the flow!
All we really HAVE TO HAVE when baby comes is somewhere for her to sleep and a bed to change a diaper on...right!!!!????
RIGHT ;)
