House Update

Mike finished the mudding in the the family room on Monday. So Tuesday morning, I headed over to the house and painted. I ended up using the same ceiling color as we have in our current home. The walls are one shade lighter than our current family room walls. Mike thought that the room looked the same. There isn't as much light in the new room, so I thought that the lighter shade would work better.

I've been frantically packing items in a meticulus manner....sort of. Our non-ironing everyday clothing is being neatly stacked in large heavy-duty garbage bags. All the linens, towels, etc are being handled in the same manner. The rest of the stuff is being wrapped carefully and packed in boxes. I'm planning on moving most of the kitchen stuff and unpacking it on Friday, while I'm stuck in the house with the carpet installers. Paige, Allie, and Katie are going with me for the day. Paige and Allie haven't been to the other house in several weeks and really wanted to go. Katie is going to help entertain Paige and Allie.

Steve and Joe want to have 3 of their friends spend the night this week end. I just don't feel up to having overnight guests. Everything is torn up and disorganized. Unfortunately the friends are moving on the 1st so their house isn't in any better shape. Maybe I can talk them into a fun afternoon together instead.
