Life has been pretty hectic lately. I feel like the only time I have to really settle down and take a breather is when Jo is taking a nap. Due to old, squeaky floors and doors I can't really do much while she's sleeping in fear I'll wake her up.
Seriously, we have had to make so many decisions lately. So many that my head can't keep up and I feel so tired and clouded all the time. From picking tile/paint colors/corners/grout colors/granite/where to start tile and end hardwood/lighting/etc... to which appliances are best and Christmas presents I don't even know what my name is anymore. (Yes I signed a check the other day in my maiden name! Luckily I caught my mistake.)
Aside from the house, we did have the opportunity to take off and head to Delta for Thanksgiving. And like always, Jo had a fun time playing and I liked the time away. We had a great skeet shooting contest and lets just say... Cody usually came out on top, but I did my share of knocking the boys from the top! Skeet shooting is a good stress reliever.
While in Delta, we went black Friday shopping, to IFA! ha ha Cody said you know you're a red neck when you go black Friday shopping to IFA! So I guess we are true rednecks. We also took Jo to see Santa, that's a whole new post in its self!
While we were gone, the sheet rockers finished the 1st layer of muddling and taping and the tile guys are all prepped and ready to install the tile next week. We also have a chimney, our fireplaces installed and they are FINALLY framing the porches! YEAH!
So the stress of picking out tile has really set in. All morning long I have went back and forth on what I like and what I think Cod would like. I guess that's how house building goes! They say if a marriage can outlast the construction of a home, you've got it made... And I totally agree! I guess I didn't realize how indecisive I am and how opinionated Cody is. Just when I think I know what I like, Cod said he doesn't. Ugh!
On the bright side, Jo and I got our Christmas tree up. Jo had such a fun time pulling all the ornaments out and putting them all on one tree branch. Yes, one branch. And just when I think we have it all cute and decorated, I took Jo into her room for a nap and on the way pass the tree she gently pull on an ornament and they whole dang tree comes toppling over. So we had to decorate it twice in one day and everyday since!
