House crap.

Yes folks, today it is house CRAP. I'm so ready for it all to be done. I'm posting the pictures as promised, but they don't come with happy feelings. Today they come with dread, stress, and a whole crap load of other emotions. We've finally hit the wall where its really starting to effect our family, and our relationship. And I will tell you that that is a really hard thing to admit. Todd and I have always been relatively argument free. We've been told by many many people that we make them sick, because 99% of the time we're a lovey dovey, and happy. When we do argue, its over in 10 minutes and we're past it. Last night was rough. Todd's stressed, I'm stressed, and its just piling up. We're entering month number TWO of double bills, and things just aren't looking good for actually moving THIS month either. And that is really discouraging.

Its actually taken me all day to write this, because house stuff just brings the stress back right now, and I so don't want to deal with it.

My apologies for the downer post. I can't promise that tomorrow will be any better. I Have a mil vent that I NEED to get off my chest.

Anyway, on to the pictures

We had dinner at the new house again last Saturday A picnic in all the mess. It wasn't much fun this time though, because the house is SO dangerous for the kids to be at right now.

Todd showing how high the pile of insulation WAS before he cleaned up over half of it. This all came down when they tore the ceiling down on what will be the bathroom. Can you say YUCK?

An interesting trap door that was discovered when they pulled the carpet up in an old closet. It goes to a place that was previously walled off. It was made to fit the exact size of the tile. We're not sure if we're going to close it up, or leave it there, since we're removing the wall where it goes to, and it would be a great pass through, or shout hole for the kids!!!

Three of the garbage bags that were in the room at the time I took the picture of the insulation just up a picture. There were 6 filled, this is three of them, and there was still that whole pile. Again, can you say YUCK?

This is how bare the entire back of the house is right now, where a majority of the work is getting done.

DArling,
Things will get better! I know they will! I can only imagine how bad things feel with it going so slowly, but it will get done and then you'll be estatic! You guys will continue to be in my prayers! Hang in there, and I will be here for you as you are for me now! Even in the midst of it all. Big hugs!
