I think I have a problem

Courtney warned me that she would most likely be tired for a few weeks after moving in because she isn't as used to my fast paced life as I am. *Now, let's get this straight up front...it's not like I go out and party all the time or anything like that.* I am, however, always on the go. There is constantly a home improvement project waiting to be found, or a Pinterest idea I want to try, or I am spending time with my family at my parent's house.

Always moving. Until I am too sleepy to move anymore for the day. I don't like to sit idle. At this moment my leg is shaking....Some call it ADHD (which I have) others just call it multitasking :) I like to make the most of my days, even if that just means driving to different places to pick up supplies for another day's project. This might be a problem for some people...or just for those people who are lazier than me, but I just remember my Grandma. She was always doing something or making plans or working on a project. I am happy to say I think I get this part of me from her :) I can see now why Courtney said that she'd be sleepy until she got used to her new life with me constantly...oopsy!

Project at hand...

Right now my furbaby Charlie has a bad case of the fleas. This past Sunday we bathed her twice & put a flea collar on her, still she is itching like CRAZY! My next solution...(obviously because there is no other simple solution)...remove the bedroom carpet. It is the only room in the house with wall-to-wall carpet & I have hated it since I moved in...I am also completely against flea bombing my house. We both have some allergies & the carpet is just gross. So. This weekend --a weekend with hardly any plans now that the rain forecast has put a literal damper on our yard sale-- we will tackle carpet removal!!

It can't be that hard, and I really feel like this will make everyone happier: Char will itch less because the buggies will no longer have a breeding ground in our room, our people eyes won't itch as much from allergens stuck deep in the carpet, my vacuum won't be as worn out, and it will be much much prettier. This is what I like to call a quad-win situation.

Happier people/pets makes for a much better baby making environment :) Of course, hard work and lots of time will make our entire house perfect for our addition when the time comes....I reallllly am hoping it will be sooner than later, otherwise this blog is just a silly place for me to write our boring stories!! I will see what I can do to accidentally on purpose convince Court its time to start yesterday ;)

Until next time, the checklist is growing & my belly is not.

  1. How did it go? I love ripping up carpet--it isn't that much effort but when you're done the room looks completely different! Also, I'm the same way. My wife just stares at me from her beer-and-movie setup and wonders what the hell is wrong with me. I think it works well to have someone more chill to balance you out and remind you that you can take breaks sometimes. :)

  2. I thought I commented back days ago!! whoopsie..The carpet is ALL gone & you're right once you get going its pretty easy, just heavy! Now we just have to get the new flooring and install it!

    We most definitely balance each other out. She has a good head on her shoulders & actually knows when it is time to slow down for a minute :)
