Bathroom Update

We are still working on our bathroom but we made some big strides today so I thought I would share with you our progress.

The vanity came much darker than any pictures or samples in the store but I actually was hoping it was darker so I really like it. It is hard to take a picture with the right lighting. It looks darker in some pictures and lighter in others. The counter top is beautiful and I love our rectangular sinks.

Now we have to put back in the toilet, seal the grout, reroute the electrical, put in new light fixtures, install mirrors, fill and paint holes from old light fixture, purchase and install vanity hardware, towel rods, and then decorate with a new shower curtain, mat, and art work.
This seems like a never ending project but today was very rewarding to see it all come together.

21

Over the next 21 days my hubby will be home for 4 of those days,(or gone for 17)....does one sound better than the other? I think they both sound pretty bad but I am hoping Charlie gives me some credit for trying to put a positive spin on the situation.

Is it possible to gain 30 lbs back in 21 days? When Charlie is gone I get little sleep and am lonely at night. The thought of exercising after many long nights alone sounds like a joke to me. All I am going to want to do is crawl in bed and eat popcorn and chocolate. I guess a woman's got to do what a woman's got to do.

On a positive note I do have a babysitter coming to let me get out of the house for a bit. Oh yeah wait....that is so I can go and have a root canal done. Seriously, I know you are really getting jealous of me now! Doesn't the sound of having your root pulled out through a hole they drill in your tooth just scream of relaxation?

So I am buckling down. I am really hoping to be able to stay on top of my diet and exercise as well as be a decent mom to my 5 cute kiddos. If you are bored or lonely too give me a call or swing on by and we can laugh (or cry) through it together.
