Sunday

"Confused~ relieved~delighted"

 I awoke to the sounds of sawing coming from my kitchen, this has me a little confused...where will I cook, clean and slave over the stove?

(I'll go ask?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Never mind I'm not confused anymore.

I'm relieved to say it seems there will only be takeout served in this house or we go out to eat to those fat fast food cardboard places until I hijack someone else's kitchen!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I should be only all to delighted to sweep saw dust and await my kitchen's new return...but go ahead say a prayer for me...to not become disgruntle with the carpenter (aka. dear husband) whose uprooting my duties and operation for the next few days while attempting to finish out our kitchen...

Yes~ I've been known to be like that.

What a great tackle!! I hear you on the mudding. We redid both our bathrooms earlier this year. I declared myself the Spackle Queen of the Midwest:-)
