We are busy

We were hoping that we would be busy, and that wish has come true. This has been our first full week of working while the kids/grands are either at work or school. Most days the kids get to school with either mom or dad, but today I took them. School is just a few blocks away, but it was snowing, and it seemed like a good idea to drive them to school.

When I returned we started in on today's jobs. Mostly we are finishing up one bathroom and starting in on another. The first has now been painted, spackled, cleaned, fixtures taken down, and the stuff generally done but not quite in the order written here. We still have a couple of touching up things to do, and then this job is declared finished except for any new hardware to be bought and installed.

In the meantime we keep up the house, do laundry, grocery shopping, buy stuff for renovation, cook dinner, make cookies for kids, see that their homework gets done, get them to practice for their music lessons and generally ride herd.

Most days we are ready for bed by eight or nine and tired. Then we have a few minutes for ourselves and read or plan the next day's activities. This is a going family and quite busy. Are we enjoying ourselves? Absolutely! Happy travels.
