Ooh - it's almost finished!!!

I cannot believe my to do list.

There are SO many little last minute details to finish up this project.

I've been down the hill to Lowe's a million times, it seems. (I don't shop at Home Depot anymore.)

The floor is in.

The backsplash is finished.

The trim is up.

The stove is back in the kitchen and the new microwave is installed.

Sink: done.

Dishwasher: hooked up.

Stairwell: painted.


What's left?
Caulk and putty the trim, then paint it.
The new refrigerator comes Monday or Tuesday.
Crown moulding and drywall patching.
Install pantry pull out drawers.


We're SO close.

I got all my extended family Christmas shopping done today. What a huge blessing that was - I found great stuff for everyone. (At least I think it's great. Here's hoping they'll agree.)

The first of the family arrives as soon as Thursday.

I think it's going to be a bit of a busy week.

Oh - and I'm as excited to post pictures as you are to see them - believe me.

Only a couple more days, friends.

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
