Homeowners!
August 03, 2005 at 12:30 p.m.
Well, we're officially homeowners. Moved the last bits (that's always the worst, isn't it?) and spend the last 2 nights on our bed, set up in one of the smaller bedrooms because we're gutting and repainting and recarpeting the master bedroom.
I also have officiall pained my first room. The living room was a dark brown - I prefer a open, white room - and a lady from church came and helped me learn how to paint the last few days. I just finished the third and final coat.
I'm EXHAUSTED!! Up the ladder, down the ladder, tearing walls away, putting new ones up, I've never worked so hard physically in my life. Arg! I mentioned on Monday that the walls needed to be replaced above the shower in the master bathroom, and within 2 hours, Jared and his dad had replaced them! Handiest team in the biz.
I feel very not up to the task. I'm incredibly lucky to have friends at church and a husband that knows how to do so much, but I feel so bad. I haven't done anything in my life to prepare for this! I jsut hate not being good at something. I never was the greatest violinist, but hey, I've done it since I was 3, I'm not too shabby and I fake my way through. This? It feels incredibly important and I hate thinking that I might screw it up.
Monday night I crawled into bed exhausted and miserable. I'd done as much as I could, but it didn't seem good enough. Jared made an executive decision and insisted he give me a foot massage. WOW. I hadn't been off my feet all day - literally - and it felt incredible. Last night he held me as I cried and unwound. I'm a lucky girl, I am.
I'm just completely tuckered - and 5 straight hours of teaching ahead of me.. ooooh yay.
I've never looked so forward to bed before:)
SUPERCRACK is too tired to make up somehting witty. HOMEOWNERRRr!
