Ho Hum...

So I'm totally falling behind on posting. J totally predicted this, that the novelty would wear off and this would become ignored. It's not that I don't like posting. I enjoy it, it stretches my writing skills, it keeps people in the loop with what is going on with our life, *sigh*, life is just getting too busy.

So to update. Our house is now complete for the winter! We had the electrician in to finish off all the work in the attic and on the box in the basement. All outlets are now working, all heaters are working and the ceiling fans in all the bedrooms are working. The cool thing is he fixed something we didn't even mention to him! We have a small problem where our fuse box is only 125 when it should be 225…I think the term is Amp or Watts or something. (I is S-M-R-T!!!) When we would run the dishwasher at the same time that the downstairs entertainment unit was on, AND the basement dehumidifier was on it would blow the fuse. After the electrician left it all works fine! LOVE IT! Anyway, we also had the heating guys in to clean and inspect the two gas fireplaces. Everything was fine with them except for the fact that they are about 20 years old. The downstairs one had some fried wiring, but that was easily replaced. J got the last major coat on the kitchen last weekend! It’s now very pretty…except when we took off all the tape it hurt some of the edges. Oh well. He’ll go around with a wee brush and do some touch ups. I think J is going to go around tonight and touch up the ceiling where we did some “opps” when we were painting.

And what are You doing, K, is what I’m sure you are thinking. I’m going to be catching up on the laundry that piled up last week. Want to know why the laundry piled up? The dryer broke last Monday and didn’t get fixed until two days ago. I had to do a couple loads through the dryers at the Laundromat last Saturday. I was up and out of the house by 7:30am and back home with everything dry by 8:30. The boy came in and woke up J with a tap on his forehead. J rolled over and said, “Where’s Mommy?”. The boy didn’t know but then J remembered where I had to go that morning. I came home and cleaned the house, then pretty much put myself to bed. I have had a bit of a sinus cold all week. The boy got it first and then passed it on to me.

I’m hoping to cut my lawn this weekend for the last time. It ran out of gas…surprisingly while we were in NB??? Dad told me that the tank should last me the rest of the summer yet it was empty when we got back home. Oh well, J bought me a little gas can for filling up the mower. I also have the spray the crap out of my yard. It is 90% weeds. I would get on my knees and rip them all out but then I would be left with soil.

The only bright spot right now is my Mom is coming up this weekend to visit! The boy has been asking all week about Nana. J already has the roast in the crock pot, we’re eatin’ good tonight!

Blog ya later!
