I am really in the mood for some good old fashioned spring cleaning. Today I got a little done, okay, a lot considering I have to take care of Caleb. I put up this great border in our computer room. I originally bought it to go in our bathroom but after looking at it we decided it’s not quite bathroom border and it finishes off the computer room nicely. Frustrating thing is, I am about 1/3 if that, short on it, so I need to go pick up another roll. I never can measure right when it comes to border.
I really need to work on getting our bathroom painted but I cant do much w/out help and especially not w/ Caleb around. We need to sand down the walls first so I think we are going to rent something for Home Depot to make the job a little easier. It’s not that big a bathroom, and actually it’s the smallest of the 3 bathrooms we have, but the job will still be a pain. That’s really the only major project left to get the upstairs of the house really done, that and the kitchen and dining room need painted. But half of the wall there is wallpaper, so we just need to paint white from the chair rail up and above the kitchen cabinets. I bought some flowers to accent the top of the cabinets, and it looks good. We are eventually going to put in lights above the cabinets and below, or so Dean says. I just think it would like nice above. Once we get the painting done the house will be about as done as we need it for now. The basement needs some work especially the bathroom, but we’re in no rush. But Stace probably is, since that’s her bathroom, for right now she’s using one of the bathrooms up here.
Dean found out today that we can wrap his school loan into the mortgage loan! I am excited about that. It’s the only school loan we have left to pay off, and we’re not keeping up with it. I was so happy when I paid off my school loans, and getting this one out of the way would be great too. Dean’s going to see if we can wrap some of our credit card debt into the mortgage too which would alleviate some monthly payments, which would make bill paying much easier, since we’d just have to pay the mortgage which we’ll pay either way. But then we’d have to make sure we didnt use or credit cards after that. But we’ve hardly used them at all lately anyway, the only thing we really rely on is our home depot charge since we had/have so much to do here that we could possibly afford to lay down so much money but it had to be done before we moved in.
Well Caleb’s down for another nap, finally so I am going to try to get a little more done. At least now I am out of my pjs!
