16 weeks and 2 days

My house smells like a crime scene that's just been cleaned up. For whatever reason, I got into the mood to disinfect the entire house. The bath tub could have a meal ate from the bottom of it and the toilet could be licked.

Seriously. I used bleach.

I also started doing dishes (which is rare - Josh is the bitch in that category) and doing laundry.

Does anyone else feel like they never have any clothes or anything to wear, yet the 14 laundry baskets of dirty clothes accumulated in 1 week tell you otherwise?

Of course my love for over sized t-shirts and sweat pants (huge cotton underwear too) while I'm sitting at home can only produce so many articles of clothing, but damnit, our laundry over takes us.

So at least today I got a head start in gearing this house up for the finish of the remodel.

You know we started putting those f'ing floors in last March and they are STILL not finished?????

I told Josh by June these things will be finished:

- The nursery painted.

- The floors finished (including the bathrooms).

- The cabinets finished (they are being 'antiqued').

- The kitchen painted (goodbye shitty red).

- The bedroom painted.

- The bathroom painted.

- A new vanity in the bathroom installed.

- The cabinet doors put back on our kitchen cabinets.

- A door on the bathroom that will actually lock.

- Ditto for the bedroom door.

- Doors back on our laundry area.

- The front door installed.

- Our new address plate installed.

Now, when I look at this list, I panic. That's because it has taken almost a year for about 400 square foot of floor to be laid down.

Then I look at Josh's step dad, who finished an entire basement, hand built a bar (that looks f'ing fantastic!), hand built a trash container, ordered a sectional, bought a new TV and fire place, put in cabinets, put in counter tops, built a HUGE ASS POLE BARN, put a new floor down in the basement, etc etc etc etc upon etc....

In 4 months.

I'm not trying to toot Josh's horn here, but honk honk - let's get this shit done!!
