Abundant Blessings Homestead

A very early morning...

Okay, so it's 2:30 in the morning and I am online...why???? Cause I can't sleep! Why I can't is a mystery....I sure am tired!
I started the laundry and will sit here till I can't see straight.
We finished painting two bedrooms today! Natalie and Mary have a pink...beyond pink...bedroom now. It is, well, quite pink! They love the color and are so excited to finally have their room done! Rebecca's room is a beautiful blue. Very pretty. Thomas' room will be done with help from Tina. She is quite the artist and will be doing a jungle theme in Thomas' room.
We are planning to move furniture and such upstairs Tuesday. Want to give the paint plenty of time to cure...and to give Ken room to work.
They finished the siding on the front of the house yesterday. Still to be done is the siding on the end of the house. That part has to be done on ladders. Sure looks tiring standing up way up there on those little pegs! Sure glad I don't have to do that. I am so not a fan of heights!
Then Ken will install the ceiling fans. And finish the electrical outlets..they are all wired, just need to be turned on. Martha and Ken are planning to leave tomorrow. The rest of the drywall work will be done by Tina and I. The stairway needs to be finished. And the new closet in the new office as well. After that, it will be as we get to the other jobs I would like to do. I am really itching to get the office finished. To empty out our bedroom of a large desk and bookshelf. As well as all the stuff in our closet and spilling out onto the floor! It will be so nice to have our bedroom just be a bedroom! We have always had some office stuff, or alot of office stuff, in our bedroom. I am really looking forward to this room! The next one that is calling me is the kitchen. We will be moving a counter out of the kitchen and thereby making room for our table to have its leaf left in it and be a real table...one that will fit everyone. That won't have to be moved against the wall after each meal. All of these changes...and many of them have been dreams of ours since we first looked at this home to buy in November, 2003. I am sure thankful that the changes are taking place now....not years down the road after the children are grown and we no longer really need the changes.
The washer has stopped....time to put that load in the dryer and start a new load. My eyes are getting droopy..maybe sleep won't elude me if I head to bed now. Think I will pack Toby's lunch before I do...since he will be up in a short time to leave for work...

I am so glad you will soon be moving your children into their new rooms. I\'ll bet they are so excited. Just think. Soon all the remodeling will just be a happy memory. I can hardly wait to see pictures. Blessings, Winona
