it's amazing how many projects have to get done to prepare to sell a house... and then things are another story... paul's been fixing up our outside retaining wall, it had a big hole in it, which he has patched, and now needs to be stuccoed to match, he's also repaired two little leaks in the roof (he had to tear out the hall ceiling to find them, as they weren't findable from above, though the ceiling had to come out anyhow, as it was severely water-damaged), now he's been fixing the ceiling, and it looks good, but time is also limited. he's the YM pres in our ward, and this weekend is youth conference, so he's been gone all day today, and last night with no time to work on his projects. (by the way, tonight's prom for the youth too, somebody wasn't thinking when they planned youth conference!) it's kind of frustrating to not have him home ever, afton's really sick of me too, and i don't blame her! fortunately paul was able to take off friday from work and just work on the hall all day (afton and i stayed out of the house most of the day though, to keep her out of his way). my current projects include finding an apartment in dallas, NOT nearly as "easy" as it sounds... and also getting really frustrating, so if anyone has some suggestions, we're open! and my other project is packing up enough of the house that it looks roomy and homey, in a non-unique way (i think the goal is rather like a hotel... not personal, but open to another family), also not quite as easy as i'd hoped, especially cause i have a 19-month old helper and my back has been really sore the last few weeks--i'm ready for baby to come, just to ease my back (and it would be nice to lay on my stomach again :)!
projects aside, there's all the little things that have to get done too... dishes done for today! (until dinner) so that's one thing out of the way! now, if only there weren't so many others...
