Reason For Not Blogging

Once upon a time, there lived a family who lived in a home with three bathrooms. This family actually didn't use all three bathrooms.

That much.

They really didn't feel like they depended on all three bathrooms being usable.

That much.

Then one day, one of the bathrooms got sick and needed to have some work done. The very knowledgeable bathroom guy said that this could be a major illness, and we should be prepared to use the other bathroom for a while. The other bathroom wasn't really up to par for using as a main bathroom. No worries! The very knowledgeable and helpful bathroom guy could help bring that bathroom up to par while we waited for the parts and pieces needed for the very sick bathroom.

Thank goodness that the very knowledgeable and helpful bathroom guy was so knowledgeable and helpful. The first bathroom was, indeed, VERY sick. It needed to have a major operation. It was so major, and the illness was so wide spread that the family who lived in this house, could not stay there until the illness was contained.

No, they needed to stay somewhere else. In the middle of a work/school week. A week that had many, many chores that needed to get done. A week where the work would not stop piling up all around them. It was that week that the family could not stay in their home.

OK, who am I kidding. Obviously, it was us whose bathroom wasn't sick but full of disgusting, nasty, hideous mold.

Yes.

I just said mold.

All over our lovely master bath.

It was probably one of the nastiest things I have ever seen, and it was all over the place I depend on to get clean.

I could gag just remembering it.

Good news, after moving out for a couple of days, we are back home! I am slowly catching up on all the work/chores/never stop moving-ness that I do.

However.

However, the house is still a disaster area as they are now re-finishing the floor of the bathroom as well as the floor of the shower.

We did realize, though, that when these projects are done, our house will have officially had EVERY SINGLE ROOM remodeled since living here.

So, really? We should be done SINGLE-HANDEDLY BOOSTING THE ECONOMY.

Oh, you're welcome.

This year we have/will: replace the roof, re-paint the exterior, replaced a window, and remodeled TWO bathrooms. This is added to last years list of remodeling. Remember the windows, kitchen, and hardwood floors?

Seriously.

I do have some good news though. We got the granite counter top in the kids' bathroom for $22.

Yes, $22.

Thank you, Lord.

There's always a blessing in amongst the mess.
