Painting I hate it! What a pain, I tried to get Tim to paint the kitchen and ended up doing it myself. I would still like to put another coat on part of it, but doubt I will get to it. I took all the hardware down for hanging the curtains and now I can't find it. Mind you I did this last summer so as you can see it is not a priority project. I think the curtains would probably have kept it a little warmer in here too. It has been so cold this winter. With all the snow out there I think we may have to skip spring too.

So how come your pipes froze I thought it was warmer down there? Ours froze about a month ago, almost got a divorce while he was fixing them.

Tim passed his third block he did really good too, we are all proud of him of course. The kids bugged him to make sure he was studying the whole time, I think they like turnabout.

Brit's belly button is healing pretty good, I still think it looks like it would hurt though. She says it doesn't hurt at all. She changed the balls on it the other day, her Dad had to help her. You have to use pliers to get them off the first time. Don't think I would let anybody near me with pliers if I had a ring in my belly button.

Greg got a sleeper ring for his ear and he doesn't like it, he complains that it hurts, so we switched it back to the stud. We told him if he lets it heal over this time we won't be getting it done again. Seems strange to pay people money to poke holes in your kid. Mom pierced my ears when I was twelve and that was enough for me, I don't need any more holes in my head.

I did one and three quarters doors last night.... Lyle surprised me when I got home yesterday, he had stayed home (took his snow day) and taken the door out of the bedroom! YAY! I have to sand it tonight and touch up the drywall in a few other places before the carpet, but now that will be all done before carpet too! YAY! Lyle is going to paint the remaining one and one quarter door tonight, then we start on the baseboard. I am out of town tomorrow, and I won't be home until late, so no more work for me. Tonight is menu planning night and I am behind in my cooking - Lyle had leftovers and I had popcorn for supper last night. I still gained a pound this morning. Incredible!

Carpet this weekend! YAY! I have three doors left to paint, all the base and all the floors to wash before Saturday. Pray for me!
