House Work Day ??

I forget what day this is. My mom has been working like an animal! Most of the interior is caulked now and all the windows sealed. She scrubbed and cleaned the master bath and it's all white now! The toilet was really grodey and the shower was okay, but still had dirty pink scum all on it. She painted the master bed's woodwork and window sills white (it's beautiful!). She painted our laundry cabinets white (inside and out) and cleaned the water spigots that hook up to the washer (they were all green and crusty). She painted the second coat of blue on the laundry walls and affixed a piece of cardboard over the hole the plumber made while replacing the spigots. I think today she's starting the kitchen cabinets - there are a lot of them! I am so appreciative and we could not have done this or gotten near this far without her help. Thanks Mommy!

We got the kitchen walls painted. They're no longer a pinky-brown. They're now a soft yellow/tan. I'm hoping that color works for the living room and rest of the bedrooms. I'll find out at lunch today. We had the carpets cleaned, and all the stains mostly came out. I'm anxious to see how clean they look. Mom and Blake say they look pretty good. I didn't go out to the new house last night because I decided to stay and clean up our rental and get organized since everything was piling up. I packed away several breakable decorations and I'm excited that we can actually start moving our stuff over now! Blake will move all the photos and pictures and wall hangings over on Friday I believe.

Last night was also a bittersweet night, I gave away George.

Ever since he attacked Lenny (something I should have forseen considering their namesake) I've had them in two separate cages. It got kinda annoying to clean 2 all the time and George wasn't as fun to hold as Lenny. So! I posted him on Craigslist and I got 4 calls in 2 hours--and a guy came to pick George up for his 3 kids at 10pm last night. So I hope his kids like George!!

Tonight we'll go to the new house and perhaps paint the Master Bed ceiling, prime the master bath and prime the next bedroom.
