I Can Bring Home the Bacon..

but damn if i'm gonna cook it when i get home. tomorrow is my first day at work. more sedatives please. i got a great job that fits me perfectly, and it's all going to be fine once i adjust in a month or two, but now i'm freaking just a tad. both kids start fulltime daycare tomorrow. i've been having bad dreams worrying about that for the last week. but i tell ya, spending a week home with two kids on spring break sure makes it easier to go back to work, what with the teething and screaming and demanding and all. i'm sure we will all be ok once we make the transition. it's going to be a rough week.

we close on the new house on april 30th (i think). the renovations on this house are coming along nicely, but still much to do.

must i change EVERYTHING in my life all at one time? ugh. good change, but too much of it at once.

i had the garage sale. we kept the stupid weight bench, but i get to paint the living room the color i want, so whatever. i'm glad it's done. salvation army is coming to get the rest of our crap this week, and i have 8 boxes of books to bring to friends of the library.

tomorrow a guy is coming to fix the window in the garage that's been broken for 14 years. friday we are getting new linoleum in the kitchen, and saturday we are getting a new dishwasher and oven. the deck is done, the fence is almost done, the garage will be finished next weekend. i put seed down in the front yard, but we will probably still lay sod in the completely bare areas (there are lots). the yard is raked, sculpted, trimmed, mowed, and fertilized, just waiting on the grass. it also needs more mulch and flowers for the big planter out front. i finished the painting in the kitchen, and it turns out i didn't need to refinish the cabinets, just polish and oil them and they look great. i still need to paint the living room, the kids room, the hallway, and touch up the bathroom ceiling. plus the living room ceiling. ugh. at least we are paying someone to finish painting the outside of the house. hopefully he will show up again.

so yeah. this is going to be a big week. i guess i should go to sleep now. i know, this is just riveting material. night night.
