I actually had a pretty good Mother's Day yesterday. In the past Mother's Day was a day for me to try to put on a happy face for my mothers and try not to break down in complete shambles while doing it. Yesterday we had dinner at our house for both of our mothers. It was a hugely wonderful dinner.
I really cleaned our downstairs to get ready for the mom's and downstairs the house looks great. Upstairs is another story. E is still sanding the new drywall in the kid's room so it is super dusty upstairs. I vacuumed a lot yesterday but dust still covers every surface and has permeated every crack in our hardwood floors. Yuck. And, he is leaving for school tomorrow until Friday and I am not sure he'll be done sanding before he leaves. Our home study is the 18th! I don't care if the room is not painted and the flooring is not laid but I at least want to be able to have a clean upstairs.
Speaking of paint and flooring, here is what we picked out.
The brown is for the walls and the cream is for the ceiling, door, trim work and a dresser. The floor is awesome! It is not quite this brown in real life. The photo makes it look stripey but it really isn't. I like these colors because they will look good with blues or pinks or turquoise depending on whether we adopt a boy or a girl. My mom laughed because I choose Beh.r paint and a Pe.rgo floor. She said I have the same taste as my Grandma Mac, her mom. I asked, "expensive or timelessly classic?" Mom answered, "both!".
And with that, I must leave for work. Crap. I am seriously hating my job these days but that is for another post.
