It’s been a super busy week for me and I have yet to sit down and really take the breather that I need. With all of the preparations that I’ve done so far to the house, I am completely exhausted. With all of the paint samples, pamplets, and flooring that I’ve looked at, I honestly feel as though I should add the title Interior Decorator to my resume. There are still two more rooms that need painting before I want to move my furniture in (The other rooms can wait.) and it’s been a process trying to select the right color. I absolutely LOVE dark homes and that’s pretty much the theme I’m going with – except for the kitchen, hallway, and rooms for my children.

I’ve hit my head on the ceiling multiple times. I’m sore from reaching and climbing up and down the ladder. I can STILL smell the varnish and paint. Oh, and let’s not forget my thumb’s struggle with a knife. Yea, it’s like that.

I can’t wait until I get situated. It’s been a fun process but I’m not trying to make it a longer process than it already is. I need to be moved in before August so I won’t have to deal with any of this when school starts for my daughter and I. I’ve been calculating the amount of money that I’ll be saving and I’m wondering why I haven’t decided to do this sooner? And let’s not even get on the extra time that I’ll have to get to do things that I haven’t done in so long.

I work too hard to not be able to spend my money the way I want to spend it. But now, I plan to.
