As I said in my last post, we were planning on moving into the house this coming weekend but things have happened which is going to change the moving date to somewhere between April 2-4. What is a few days anyways after fourteen years?
My painting is almost complete, just a door jam here or there and some small touch ups. The hardwood flooring only needs to be buffed and have the final coat of poly put on it which Mr. B will do sometime this weekend after they install the tile. The carpet will be installed on Friday, it was supposed to be last week but they had to change the date to today then they changed it again because the carpet installer is covered up with work and we don't want to add to his load. My dishwasher will be delivered and installed tomorrow...YAY!!! This is funny to me because Mr. B had said a few weeks ago that he was thinking about just purchasing the stove and refrigerator now then the dishwasher later, I told him no way because we weren't moving in unless I had a dishwasher there. Turns out that the dishwasher will be the only kitchen appliance we will have for about five days after moving in... LOL.. guess I won that fight eh? The fridge and stove can't be delivered until April 9th, which is fine with me because we have a gas grill that has burners on it for sauce pans and we also have this mondo huge cooler that we can keep our cold items in until the other appliances are delivered. No stove and fridge isn't going to keep me from moving in, no siree!
Today has been one of those blah days. First of all I haven't been feeling well because all the pollen in the air doesn't agree with me so last night on top of a sinus headache I woke up at 2:23 AM with a bad migraine that just about sent me to the emergency room for a nice strong shot of pain killer in my bum. The only reason I didn't go was because moving hurt too bad. I hate all migraines but I especially hate those that come with a violent kick that last a few hours and makes you think you have a huge tumor bursting inside your brain because they drain you so bad. Today I have basically been like a limp, weak noodle. We had to attend my husbands uncles funeral today. I can tell you this wasn't good especially after just burying his cousin a couple weeks ago. His uncles death was a sudden one, massive heart attack after getting out of bed Monday morning. I pray that his family find peace during these hard times.
As I said earlier, the house is almost complete. It is odd how the entire building process has been so smooth and now that we are at the completion stage I am stressed out and frustrated, I just need to calm down and let it go as it will because it will happen in its due time. I spend my days over there piddling with this or that, mostly cleaning and re-cleaning just to keep myself and my brain busy. Yesterday I spent the day removing all the blue paint tape and plastic off the counters and cabinets. Tomorrow I will remove the tape and plastic from the top kitchen cabinets.
We had our final inspection on Tuesday morning for our "Certificate of Occupancy" and it passed so as soon as the flooring is in and I clean once more we can move. Just our luck, next week is going to be a very busy week for us but we are still moving. We will be renting a huge U-Haul truck so that we can get everything out of storage and to the house in one load, granted we will probably live with packed boxes for a few days until our schedules calm down enough to unpack but that is okay, at least we will be living there which is better than not.
Well I better sign off now and try to get some sleep since tomorrow is a full day for me. Y'all have a great Thursday, be safe and take care!

i feel your pain regarding migraines, they are horrific.
and i am so sorry for yet another loss in your husband's family. peace , comfort and sympathies to you all.
Awesome! It's going to be great finally getting in there I bet. :)
My condolences for your husbands and your loss too.
Good luck on the next few days. I hope all goes well with the move. Can't wait to read what's up next for ya'll:-). Have a great weekend!!
Hey it's your BIG wknd....I'll bet you're just going nuts. I know I would be!
Breazy, G-man misses you terribly. xoxoxoxox
Are you in yet? The house that is...get your mind out of the gutter!
I'm bummed! I wanted you to move in this weekend.

Is is terrible that every time you mention hardwood flooring, I think of Thom and BS teasing you about it???
Ok I am reading this on the third so does that mean you are moving in already? I hope so! Good luck and hope things go smoothly with the move and hooray to you for living without appliances for the first few days...especially during Easter!
Its funny... I just had hardwood floors put in too. They guy said it would take 3 days... it was two weeks and still isn't completely done. Damn contractors. At least I do love them now that they are mostly done. Much cleaner than those stupid rugs that were only (less than) 2 years old.
I love the floors... not the contractor!
Hope you're not going too crazy...Happy Easter and I miss you!!
xoxo
Don't let the stress get to you - like you said yourself, what's a few more days after fourteen years? It's actually kinda cool that you get these extra days to do things like clean the tape and plastic off. Imagine trying to do all that in a rush after hurriedly moving yourself in. Now things will be so much more finished and just how you want them.
Sorry this has also been a sad time, too, with the funeral and all. Condolences to your husband and his family.
Hope ya'll had a great Easter and that all is going good with move/ whatever maybe happening. Do hurry back and let us know something. (hugs)
