It snowed on Saturday, most of you reading this already know that, but I have to talk about it. It's crazy, there is so much snow on the ground, and tonight we are expecting much more, about 12-18 inches more! OMG.... where are they going to put all the snow. There is already nowhere to put the first storm, now a second is headed this way. Most of the roads in Christiana are still snow covered, most of the borough of West Chester is still snow covered. It should be fun, and we are totally looking forward to atleast one day off from work.
We have started some very small home renovations, just tiny so far. We painted our upstairs (very small) bathroom. It was a buttery yellow color, we covered it with semi-gloss white. We bought the special mildew-resistant paint. The floor was already black/white checked,so we just went with that, painted the walls white and accented with black. It looks really good, and it really brightens the already teeny tiny room. It looks good, now all we have to do it buy black rugs and a white shower curtain. We also got a new inside door for the back of the house. Our old door was so old, it was cracked in the middle, so you could see daylight through it, which means cold air came through it. The guy was here this morning to install it, and I love it. We got a door with a window, which again, lets in so much light and the door is white rather then the dark red the old one was. It seals on all ends and no air is coming it. I am looking forward to "maybe" having a lower electric bill. Next we really want to redo the kitchen, new cabinets, raising the ceiling, and new floor. TJ had a guy at his work draw a sketch from the existing measurements and it looks so nice. We can do most of the work ourselves, which will save us money. We can also buy the cabinets from his work, which will save us more money. We are hoping to finish by summer! We are also going to redo the full bath downstairs. There is a huge spa tub in there, but I HATE IT! I want a normal bath tub with a normal shower. The color is again, buttery yellow, accented with a green/white/black floor and black surround for the tub. I HATE IT! We have to redo the bath, floor, walls and ceiling. We again are hoping to do most of ourselves to save money, and my brother-in-law can install the bath/shower. I can't wait to start. I would love to have everything done by the end of May, so it's done for the housewarming party. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I have beeen in a funk lately, that's the reason I haven't posted in a while. The past month has been a rough month, and I don't know why. I just can't shake this funk. Maybe if we had more money I would be better, but it's just not how it works. TJ job sucks, he hasn't had a raise in 3 years, his boss is an asshole and he is unhappy there. Unfortunately, there aren't many jobs out there right now. We are just putting applications in and sending resumes to anywhere that seems ok. Something will come along eventually. Onto my funk, I just don't want to get out of bed, work, function, clean, cook..... anything. I want to sleep and lounge all day. It sounds silly, but it is really becoming a problem. I am just not normal, and I want to be. I am doing everything in my power to work it out, but it has been a slow process. I am having a hard time maintaining my control of the kids, and keeping my cool when things aren't going as planned. I find myself hollering more at the kids, which I don't want to do. I find I am losing my patience in situations that normally wouldn't bother me. I am just not normal right now and I need to find my normalcy soon!
Time to go back to work, hope the snow holds off until we get home safe and sound! I will post again during snow storm #2. Hope everyone keeps warm and stays safe.
