The last 3 weeks I have been busier than ever.
But yet it appears nothing is getting accomplished. At least it feels this way.
There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day.
I am buried in homework that has become a chore and not remotely enjoyable.
Finding the time to do it has been overwhelming. Pictures, pictures, pictures.
Outdoor pictures and things that I must drive to to do.
This isn't fun, now it just seems like added stress and I certainly wasn't prepared for that.
As I write this it is 4:15a.m. I am worried I didn't do enough of what I was to do and have only a very small amount of time (lunch) to finish it all.
I have been doing some painting in my home and other assorted DIY projects and changes around here. Have a deadline of May for it all, inside and out. Jeez.
Then we have tax time around here. Oiy Vay.
I hate tax time. Enough said on that horrific topic.
Rick has begun working on our master again.
There has been a lull because he was so busy.
That is an enormous understatement. This has been the longest project of my life.
The toilet is now out of our bathroom and sitting in the shower.
For some reason going up another flight of stairs at 2am or 5am when I wake up to pee is a royal pain. WAH WAH WAH. I laugh because one knows this is simple whining and not a big deal. But at 2am I was cursing him. He told me it would be done in 24 hrs. I have learned that is 3 days in Rick time. So in Rick's world my shower and toilet will be back on Friday.
I will bet you by this time next week it won't be done.
This weekend Rick informed me not to make plans because he has plans for me.
I am sure this is because my birthday is on Monday and that is not a good day to do anything in our household. We are both so tired and his first job is at 7am so he will be asleep by 9pm. And I'm sure I'm stretching it by saying 9pm But if I were being honest I would rather finish some of the things I'm doing in the house and my homework over the weekend than go somewhere or whatever he has planned.
God I'm getting boring in my old age aren't I?
I also have started a book and haven't gotten past this same page for days it seems. When I do have a spare minute I promise myself I will read at least a chapter. But I find my mind wandering and thinking I should be finishing that stenciling and that primer coat has dried and it's time to paint.
So I am going to hit the schedule button so this hits the blog at 9ish and I am going to try to sleep before Izzy is nudging me at 5am to eat.
And if you want a mommy giggle check out my friend Tina.
This one cracked me up! Could be sleep deprivation, could be because I could picture her cutey son doing this to her or it's just damn funny.
Happy Hump Day my Blogger Friends.

Why the May deadling for DIY stuff?
Happy early birthday and yup, I giggled right hard at your friend Tina's post. And taxes. F*CK THE IRS! (They're reading this, aren't they? Dammit.)
Arnebya - deadline because company coming and then daughters wedding etc. Busy busy year up until June 10th.
We've already been spending our tax refund WOOT!
I've been reading the same book for like 3 months.
I have that problem with books that end up on my nightstand to be read before bed ... they can take years to finish because I end up reading them three lines at a time.
Julie - show off! we never get a refund anyways so that won't be an issue for me.
Bill - if this takes me 3 yrs I will see the movie first. :-)
Remodeling projects are always multiplied times 5. 1 day? Nope. 5 days. The 'surprise look what's under here' factor can be another multiplier.
Mike - all true. And add a person doing this that is anal retentive add another 3 days. :-)
I hate having to use a toilet that's not in MY master bathroom. Mainly because there are four men that use all the other toilets in the house. This pass fall, we had to replace that toilet. I was having problems finding a new toilet that I liked. Went to a specialty shop and they had one that wasn't too bad. Problem was it meant I would be two weeks with my master toilet.
I found a different one that same day at a big box store. Not as cute but hey, I left the store with it and had it installed that night.
So I get what you are saying.
Bonnie - he did it! I have my toilet back. Wow! Color me shocked!!
