Finally we are done
PAINTING. Thank goodness, my body is getting to old for that. It does look cute. I will take pictures later. Maybe if I am lucky I can find a before and after. I watch too much HGTV. So today was to clean as much as I can and get ready for my mothers birthday festivites. They should be coming within the next few minutes. Better go get the burgers on the grill. WOW I wish I were Wonder or even Super Woman.
I don't know what happened
but my other blog got so messed up I had to start a new. If I was better at the puter I might have been able to save it, but not me. Easier to cut and paste. So here is the new and improved model.

Can you hear ME?
I am screaming. Well my body and mind is anyways. This room makeover is kiling me. As my loving Hayley is laying around the house (she is the one that talked me into redo the room for her, with her promise that she would help-NOT) I am busting my butt. The painting over the wallpaper looks awful. I now have to wait for the ceiling paint to dry in order to sand each seam that seems to glow. With the primer you couldn't see them and thought this going better than I thought. Well I was wrong. It looks like it is going to be another back breaking day. My dh tooks us out for a drive last night. It looks like he is in the mood to buy a new house. Which I am also but why now? Don't get me wrong I would LOVE to move. It is just that I have come to the conclussion that we were staying here because we only have 2 more years and this house will be paid off and after last summer of doing a clean sweep of the house to get it ready to sell and then changing his mind, the house has turned into a mess again. Ugh! Looks like when I get done with the bedroom I will have to do another clean sweep of the WHOLE house.On a good note, I finally made all the reservations for Chicago. Yahoo!!! It is for real now. I am excited. We will be taking the Amtrak there and then spend a couple of days seeing what ever we can. Basically the Aquarium, Navy Pier and shopping. We will be there for Hayleys birthday and she is pumped. Guess who is going with us? If you guessed Kay and her family, ding ding ding, you are a weiner. So all you scrappers watch out there will a few photos when we get back. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. You know what I will be doing.

The scene of the accident
I have been Hayley a hard time about running over the sign that I had to go take pictures of it today. It is not the best as I was driving and trying to take the picture at the same time. Please do not do what I do, it is very dangerous. At least I didn't run over a sign. HAHA!!! Well it has been a pretty productive day. I vaccummed. Yes that is about it. The thing is I have been meaning to it for about 3 days now, so the day finally came. Glad it is done. I even cleaned up my scrapping area a little. I thought I would try to scrap or do something artsy fartsy but I just didn't have it in me. We have the primer on Hayleys walls and I am now waiting for her to pick out the perfect color. Ugh!!! Tomorrow I think we will go to the outlet mall and see if she can find a bedspread that she just dearly loves so she can figure out the color. We have finally made a decission on vacation. Yahoo and I am so excited. We are going to go to Chicago and we are taking the Amtrak. We will most likely be there on Hayley's birthday and she is pumped. Other than that it is another day in paradise. Don't I wish.

CRASH!!!
Most of you know that my DD has her drivers permit. She has been driving for about a month now. Well today she wanted to go to Target to look at bedspreads to help her pick out what color she would like to paint her room. I thought she already knew what color, well she is a teenager and just can't make up her mind. Well anyways she was driving and saw some friends and was pointing them out to me as she turns a corner and takes down a street sign. I just took a deep breath and told her to pull into the closest parking lot. She was so upset, more with herself than anything. I told her that no one was hurt and that this is a good learning experience. My car has a little scruffing on the front fender, but it is ok because it now matches the scruffing on the other side. I am upset because she didn't want to go to Target after that and I am having withdrawls.

Sorry!!!!
It has been awhile since I have had time to blog. I started this to write down all of my daily going ons. Hoping that this would help me with my journaling. Well if this is going to help me then I am going to have to make sure that I get all the important moments down. So here goes with the latest and greatest moments.I think I am done getting the wallpaper of the wall, yes wall. It was glued to the wall with superglue I swear. Actually the paper has been on there for over 25 years and no one primed the walls before putting the paper up. So we have decided to use Kiln's primer and then paint over the paper. I was hoping that it would have been now by now, but you know with a teenager helping nothing gets done fast.Maggi was helping me the other day and did a little oops. She removed the wallpaper from the wrong side of the door so now I have redo that when I get done with everything else.Still trying to figure out vacation. Just when I think I have it someone tells me that they can't make it because the certain someone has a business trip.Oh I almost forgot, the pool sprug a leak so I had to stop everything and drain it, find the leak and set it back up. That took a day and a half. Today I hope to set it up. If we didn't have so much rain and a little help from dh I might have it done sooner. Keeping fingers crossed that it will get us thru the summer.And I thought it was summer break and I could SCRAP. Well at the rate that I am going I hope that I can at least get one page done before school starts. I am done complaining now. Thank you, I just needed to VENT.

Almost ready to peel wallpaper!!!I have been busy the last couple of days doing a clean sweep of the spare bedroom/computer/craft room. If Hayley does her job of getting her stuff out of there we can start to peel the paper off the walls that have been there for almost 30 years. Yes the paper is antique green stripes. I can see why Hayley doesn't want it her new bedroom. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will be able to paint the walls rather than rewallpaper but I don't know because with this old house it has cider block walls.But anyways here are some photos of my NEW scraproom and I can not wait to be able to sit down and start scrapping again.

Day 2: I didn't get into the shower until 10:00am so I know I won't get much accomplished today. If I don't get going first thing in the morning I don't get going all day. Dang and I had alot that I wanted to get done.Hayley and her friend Amanda were going to sleep out in the tent last night but chickened out. Teenagers, at least they learned how to set the tent up.Maggi and I set the pool up yesterday to discover that it may have a leak. We are going to give it a couple of days and see what happens, I don't want to get a new pool and trying to find were the hole is is a pain in the butt. Time will tell.

I have started a blog, go figure. Now what do I write? Hmmmm, summer is here and so much to do, I don't even know what to do first. We are switching rooms. I first have to move all my scrapping stuff in to the back porch and set it up. Move the rest of the out of that room, remove the wallpaper, repaint, clean the carpet and them move all of Hayley's stuff into it. Then we get to move Maggi into Hayley's room and then Maggi's room will turn into a play/tv room for the girls. Now you can see why I can't get moving, it is going to take all summer to do it. Ok enough of this blogging, I better get my butt moving I have alot of work a head of me.
