Moving Pains

Well, we closed on our new house on Friday of last week. Yeah!!!! Since then, I have been doing absolutely nothing but scrubbing and painting. Today, when I woke up, I could barely move. So, I took the day off. Don't worry - I'll be back at it tomorrow. I figured when it hurt to put my socks on this morning, maybe that was a sign that I might need to take a break. The sad part is that after 2 full days of cleaning (I won't even talk about the nasty things I saw during this process...) and painting, I can't say that I'm close to even being half way done. So far, I have only cleaned the 1/2 bath and the entire upstairs with the exception of the boys' bathroom. Then, my Mom (God Bless her!) came and helped me paint Jacob's room and the master bath. Dylan spent over an hour using our new shop vac in the basement. And the sad thing about that is that the entire basement is empty with the exception of the pool table that we got with the house. That's how much dirt and dust there was down there. Oh, and dead bugs, too. Yuck.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to cram a month worth of painting into the next 2-3 weekends... Anybody want to come out for a painting party??? :)
